Reply With QuoteI haven't seen the full line up, but hoping the Pro isn't excessively large as it doesn't look like there will be a smaller version in the flagship spec.
What are you going for?
Anyone else getting one?

Getting one for me and the wife. Should come with some free Bose headphones too.
Warranty is better if bought from Google direct. You get a loan phone if things go wrong.

Got them in the basket but can't checkout
Same for me, went for the black 256gb pro the charger and case for 999, can't check out

I don't think they'll let us check out until 7pm.
Don't think the store was down, just updating. Google has unlimited bandwidth.
Going for the regular 6 but ordering two colours and will return one.
Ah ok,

What’s the returns policy if you open it to make the decision on colour?
Return within 2 weeks I think. Doubt I'll even open the black one it's just in case the 'sorta sage' is a bit too weird.
Ah I see, I’m concerned about the size of the pro fitting comfortably into pockets, but don’t want to miss out on the spec
A lot of money for telephoto, 12gb, and 120hz.Ah I see, I’m concerned about the size of the pro fitting comfortably into pockets, but don’t want to miss out on the spec
I am tempted by the Pro but my main interest is the camera so will wait for a few reviews to appear before ordering. I quite like the white version. I was surprised to read these phones don't have face unlock, that's disappointing.
That’’s true, perhaps better to wait for a couple of reviews to be released with the hope that the stock doesn’t run out.
Personally I think both will be great and the headphones will offset any potential loss. I don't see a reason to hold out.
Check the returns but you should be able to buy both and return them within two weeks. I'd do it within a week though, just to be sure.

Quite keen on the Pixel 6 based on what we've seen so far. The embargo is pretty rough though, the reviews are very shallow at this point.
The camera is the main draw. The 50mp is a bit misleading given it'll likely do 4x pixel binning, but the sensor size is LARGE, much bigger even than the new Iphones. Plus Google are likely to actually make good use of the hardware unless some Android devices that stick great hardware in but pair it with lack-lustre software.
The main downside IMO is the size. I'm currently using an iPhone 12 Pro Max, so a similar size device. I was hoping to go smaller as I do find it a bit cumbersome. It's a shame both the 6 and the 6 Pro are both pretty much the same size as the Pro Max.
I'm thinking similar. Essentially the same phone, the 12gb vs 8gb is unlikely to get noticed in the vast majority of instances, 120hz is lovely but again really not that big of a deal over 90hz (60-90 is a more notable jump than 90-120 for sure). The design of the Pro is nicer in terms of the smaller bezels, although personally I'm not a fan of the curved screen.
The 4x is the only real standout feature I think, and I would pay extra to have it, but a 40% premium? That's rough. Particularly given the 4x is a slower lens with a smaller sensor compared to the main camera, so in reality will probably see relatively little use (I rarely use the 2.5x on my current device).
Think I'm leaning towards the Pixel 6 and a shorter interval before upgrading personally.
(of course if money is no object then the 6 pro is the choice)

The reviewers are embargoed arent they, can't review the software until after delivery
The pro is a different design, it's not just the 3 things listed above

Yeah the policy doesn't seem to be clear about broken seal packages but I guess there's no other way to see the product and this should comply with distance sale..
Any mention when grapheneos supports the 6?
Waiting for the 10% cashback and I'll be back to get that 30W charger. Again the pixel stand is silly money.
I've pre-ordered the 6, I'm happy with the size of the 5 and don't want to go much larger. I have no need for the larger screen. Really, the size is deciding factor for me.
Were the Pro specs available in the 6, I'd have paid the extra.
As for the review embargo. If the reviews come out and it's naff, I'll just return it and stick to the 5 for now.
Cashback from where?
If you pay for Google One (storage) you get either 3% or 10% Cashback on Google Store orders 30 days after delivery.

This is the one silver lining of being the person in the family everyone abuses for Google storage. Unfortunately there is no silver lining on iCloud. I don't even have an iPhone but I have to pay for two family plans there too.
Thanks. I'm not sure I need the storage (or the cost) but maybe worth considering.
I don't need the family plan on Google for my phone but the laptop backups for everyone make it worthwhile.

Ok, that could be useful. Thanks for the info.
Oooh nice, I pay for Google one thanks

I read on HUKD to pay for Google storage for 2 months at approx £16 and get back £60.
What do you do, subscribe for the storage and then order the phone?
Guess so and then cancel after the cashback is in your Google account (and possibly spent).
Yes this is what I have read. I would like the 6 and the headphones but my current Pixel 2 and Bose QC35 are doing ok. But then again, it is nearly Xmas.
I've just ordered a 6 Pro in black, looking forward to the telephoto lens. The headphones tipped it for me.
I have two QC35 from last year, one use for Xbox a handful of time and the other still sealed.
I imagine there will be two or three newer pixels on SC next week. My pixel 5 will get listed on Wednesday.
Love the 5, giving it to my son though
I don't get cashback from Google One think it's because I only have the 5.99 minimum storage

Is there a process for the Google one cash back or is it done automatically?
Looks like it.

Order placed for the 6.
I didn't bother with Google cashback, but ordered through Currys which should give £21 cashback through TCB platform.
Also just noticed you can do the same through CPW with £25 cashback.

Ahh found it, thanks.
But I don’t pay enough to benefit.
Ordered the black non pro but think the sea foam might’ve been more fun
Edit: changed to the seafoam

Notifications are a bit vicious.
Yeah, great to have scrolling screenshots though and I like the extra dim

Does the pixel 5 update automatically? Just checked I'm on Android 11, checked for update, didn't find one?
