spiral The 13 pro has a 120hz screen while the 6a has 60. This might explain the missing "smoothness". The p6pro also provides 120hz
JohnDoeDoe I'm aware about the hz difference, however that's not at all what I was referring to.
JohnDoeDoe yes i was aware, but i thought they would find out maybe lol
Just bought the Pixel 6 Pro!
Its coming in on Sunday 😁
I do wonder if maybe some of the fingerprint sensor issues Pixel owners are complaining about are a result of glass screen protectors that aren't properly index-matched. There's a reason why Google only blesses certain models from certain brands on their store. If you use the wrong screen protector, the FP image sensor might see a heavily skewed image and will behave very poorly and unreliably. I know I had that very issue with a Poetic case with a cheap plastic protector that featured and adhesive dot for the FP sensor that was supposed to fix the issue. It didn't. Completely flakey performance. So don't cheap out on those accessories. Not with something so often used as the sensor you use to unlock your device.
PacoBell No issues on a P6P with whitestone dome
here too P6P with mowei curved glass screen protector, fingerprint works fine
***WORKING perfectly, whoops
you definitely need a 6th gen device - due to the change of google's support lifetime (pixel5
=3yrs, pixel6
=5yrs), the economics are not even close. Get a 6a, 6, or 6pro
personally i'd recommend against the 6a unless you're really on the margins of being able to afford it. I've been on a
type devices for many years (pixel4a
and before that the pixel2
which has more in common form-factor with the 4a
and 6a
than the newer flagships). I'm now on pixel6
the larger screen & battery of the 6
is really nice (without adding too much physical size, due to small bezels) but the next two actually affect economics:
4a
is not waterproof, and I had a momentary slip of mind :(p6pro seems great too, and the telephoto would be nice for traveling; but the curved screen detracts from usability and the price isn't justified. $450->$600 vs $900 in the USA.
last, note that with the pixel7 2 months from release, there are some deals now for pixel6 (still 4 years supported life)
hexagonal-lattice the pro has the advantage of better storage space options (though they charge through the nose for it, on top of the pro premium)
Hey Guys, please do not carried away with this Six thing….
Whilst I agree that some websites may be linked to iPhones and other high market share offerings and big each other up I was shocked by the criticism of Pixel’s 6 series phones and its Tensor chip being so bad at draining the battery putting it near the bottom of their database.
I’m still looking at the 6a but now having doubts about what I thought was a rosy picture as in indeed you guys paint. My beloved Pixel 3a is still going strong after more than two years.
What do you think about these reports and tests?
Should this be posted under a different topic – please edit my post if you think so…?

6th generation Pixels pretty much work perfect now on Android 13.
flawedworld Does Android 13 improve battery life? Cannot see this happening?
Tensor dramatically draining battery is not what I would describe as "pretty much work perfect."
Does Android 13 improve battery life?
It does
6a here. Absolutely no problem with battery.
flawedworld any difference if you update or do a fresh reinstall?
flawedworld Wondering if there are any instances to substantiate your take on battery drain..?
It would appear rather than alleviate battery drain, Android 13 seems to be the root cause.
The consensus of opinion is not hard to find – pretty unanimous by all accounts.
Struggling to get through the day….
