annoying music thumbs down
Need tablet 13 how can I access you people
excellent informative presentation
I got unlimited for free lol
Black ppl have really gross fingernails. Like the finger nail takes up the whole las segment of each finger. Yuck.
I ended up wrecking my old Pixel XL (og model) by dropping it in the toilet at work yesterday accidentally (forgot it was in my back pocket, oops). Not too big of a deal because it was definitely showing its age lol. Anyway, I was comparing the Pixel 6a and the Samsung Galaxy A53 phones due to their similar price ranges when I came across your videos for both of them. Which would you recommend for someone who plays a lot of mobile games, wants reliable speakers and microphone, and likes taking pictures/using the camera fairly frequently? Any input is greatly appreciated. 🙂
I hav a iPhone Se 3rd gen and a pixel 6 a. Low key powerhouses
I can listen to you review phones all day man. Good stuff one of my favorite reviewers. The single rogue beard hair as driving me nuts tho lmao really considering making the switch back to pixel
What's with the thumping sound at the beginning and end of the review? It wasn't music and just made it difficult to hear what was being said until it suddenly stopped.
1. pixel 6a having unreliable fingerprint scanner, even unregistered thumb also can unlock the device, what a pretty security by google
2. Heating issues even in normal use
3. Over priced in india
4. Worst maintenance by google in india
God. The background sound. Unwatchable
I totally agree, most people don't want to switch between iOS and Android, very refreshing to hear.
Do you think the 6a has solved the connectivity and overheating issues from the 6/6 Pro, and is there any indication the 7 Pro will be a great flagship phone?
is 6gb of ram enough for a moderate user ? . and will it be enough 3 years down the line
Going to wait for the Pixel 7. I hear, like the 6 & 6 Pro, the 6a may have similar heating issues, and similar meh signal strength. Maybe those initial issues will get better with the June security patch that is rolling out.
Since the 7 and 7 Pro are most likely coming out in a couple of months, and my 3 yr old phone is still running fine, I'll wait and look for Black Friday deals.
Hate clear cases they get yellow in 2 weeks…. Get the official Google Case trust me. I spent a bunch of money on cases
Make someone else do these video's his voice is not clear ._.
Any chance of lowering the background music, couldn't get through more than a minute of this.
No, the samsung A52 5g is still the best mid ranger.
Do you find the cameras render realistic skin tone as well as the reg 6 and 6 pro do. In reference to POC
Watch this video on 1.25x speed. It’s much better that way.
No mention of it unlocking with unregistered fingers on certain units🙄
