Google - Pixel 6 Pro 256GB - Cloudy White (Verizon)

Love the Pixel 6 pro except for the under screen fingerprint reader. Instead of accurate and near instant fingerprint authentication when the reader was located on the rear of previous Pixels, the new underscreen implementation feels like Google just stuck it on to be like some of their competitors. Instead of giving their customers a streamlined experience and use tech that works, they decided to try to fix what wasn't broken. The result is a subpar user experience where fingerprint authentication works maybe 70% of the time, and when it does work, it takes almost as long as it does to simply type in an access code.

Had a Pixel 3 years back and was in love. A friend convinced me Samsung S20 was better; I dove in and regretted the entire 2 year contract that I was locked into by my carrier. I have now been released and back to Pixel I run! I am impressed with the total absence of bloatware, the synergy of all the onboard apps being Google-made, the superior battery life, the camera! I am happy to be back home with a Google phone and apex device!

I had my phone for a total of four days when the screen spontaneously shattered while in my pocket. The phone was never dropped or banged against anything while in my pocket. Google searches confirm several users with the same issue but no acknowledgement from Google.

I miss- face recognition, big time, amplified by squirelly fingerprint swiping. Great screen, great battery, great camera, and fast. Nice phone, just getting into it after getting used to the Pixel 4 recognizing me is a bit of a pain. I recommend the phone as the strengths outweigh the weakness.

Like the title states, this is the phone that I've been waiting for. I've always appreciated the adaptability and personalization of Android phones. Android 12 on the Google 6 Pro keeps with this theme and is what I've been waiting for, for the past 4.5 years
