Though Tshaka spent more time with the Pixel 6 Pro, he also put in some time with the Pixel 6 and tested everything, then distilled all the results down into this review. Tensor, Real Tone, Live translator, Super Res Zoom and so much more examined and analyzed! There was A LOT to get through and still keep the run time on this video manageable for you, so he didn’t do a spec dump, instead focusing on the analysis of his (and the team’s) tests of the hardware, and relaying his and the team’s end user experiences. For a full look at the spec numbers, you can check out Android Central’s coverage on site, here:
While the Pixel 6 was provided by Google for the purpose of this review, Tshaka was given the 6 Pro as a #giftfromgoogle for being a member of the #teampixel program. Tshaka had this to say about that, “a $1000 gift from Google is not worth me compromising myself. I love tech and I love what I do, but not at the expense of my integrity. My opinions on this device aren’t colored by what I receive and if ever I have a strong enough negative opinion of something that I feel might jeopardize my relationship with Team Pixel, please know Imma say it. Irregardless. Yes, I said ‘irregardless.’ Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

How is the reception vs other higher end phones Android and apple?
Best review of Pixel 6/6 Pro so far on Internet
U say Pixels 10x pics beats note 20 ultras optical 10x? Hard to believe any android central reviews after seeing this video with so much pixel bias examples. U sound like a Google pixel employee.
Who is this dude? He bout to make me subscribe. Well done.
that beard is outta control
Big dog Armstrong in the house 🙌ðŸÂ¾ this was such a great and informative review. So thorough
Fantastic review! I want to see more reviews from you here!
Just started my watching all of the Pixel 6 reviews and I've a feeling this review will be the only one with this much personality. Very informative and answered a lot of my questions with the camera as well.
O …M..G…
Complexion. Not race based smh
10:36 that's right by Riot games!
Am I the only who noticed the huge downgrade in the first video he showed between pixel 6 and 5! The camera quality is a major downfall!
Tshaka is a great addition to the channel! Great review!
the woman on the video was a total idiot she did not speak Hindi at all. what she was speaking was embarrassment not Hindi
I just got my box from google and I'm so thankful for this review. I didn't know all that about skin tone!
With all the vague lingo and the wildly inconsistent reviews for this phone, I'm getting flashbacks to when I got suckered into the S20 Ultra hype. Like Celine Dione, it's all coming back to me now. Gaudy megapixel count, but performance that was outclassed by a 12 mp shooter. In display fingerprint reader, but good luck trying to use it with anything less than a $50 UV-glued on screen protector. Sub-par video that also lost to a 12 mp phone.
I think I'll pass and wait for the inevitable Pixel 6 Turbo that fixes all the bugs, gives back the physical fingerprint scanner, and adds 4 new characters.
I'm glad you're comparing the photo/video stuff to the Pixel 5, because that's what I have right now. My 6 Pro will be here Thursday!
I'm a bit bummed, though… I just did an Alaskan cruise, and REALLY would have liked having the 6 Pro!
Nice review Tshaka keep it up
First time I watched a review from you Mr. Armstrong, you're positive, cheerful and very entertaining to watch while maintaining a good balance between geekness and every day usage/observations.
Top notch reviewer!
Samsung and Apple need to get to work instead of just recycling phones
I think an update or 2 the pixel pro will be a beast
Great review!
Beautiful, well-written, perfectly-delivered review. This is excellent work ðŸ‘ÂÂ
That's if you even can get this POS. I PRE-ORDERED and just got an update that my order won't ship now until sometime between 11/1-11/08. It was supposed to ship today
Shame on me for thinking that Google could have a smooth phone rollout!
This is the first review of any phone that actually shows a phone being smart! The live translate and true tone tech is awesome!
That MF DOOM hoodie is dope!!ðŸâ€Â¥ðŸâ€ÂÂ¥
HAVE THIS MAN REVIEW MORE SHIT
Man, when someone who knows android does an Android review it so precise, so informative. Especially this macro info. I was wondering why no one tried.
Top notch stuff. 🤜🤛
Damn bro great informative video
Extremely through review, loved this
As nice as this is it feels like it’s on Beta still well what’s one more year for pixel 7
I mean i think everyones phone of choice would be the better phone, the pro. But realistically there is not much difference in them so the price point makes the 6 the better option
One of the best reviews out here! engaging and full of real world user experience! I was getting tired of seeing videos rehashing and repeating the features that Google themselves already covered during the event. Kudos Tshaka!
Great review.. can't wait for the next one!!
Shruti so blown away she forgot her own Hindi 😀🙌ðŸÂ½
Man this dude is awesome. Great personality and style. Loved the video.
As for the Pixel I. Just bummed out that after blaming Qualcomm so many years for their lack of long term OS updates like Apple does, it's now clear it was all BS. They just don't want to support their mobiles long term. Part of me also wonders if it's because the Tensor chip is actually a rebranded Samsung chip, and a old one at that. Most of.the ARM CPUs in there are a.couple.of.years old already. Perhaps that's why they can't do 5 years of OS updates?
Google can you please sell this phone worldwide
We need another manufactures than samsung and apple
This guy is excellent. Thanks for the fun and thoughtful review.
A new achievement for google
All the other reviews I've seen said P6 camera didn't have macro. Thanks for clearing that up!
