Update 2022-12-02Went for Pixel 7 Pro because they offered hope and a good trade in.Physically, the 7 is more slippery and they moved the volume and power buttons just enough that the Pixel 6 case doesn't work. Finger print reader is the same meh. Camera might be slightly better. Curved screen edges are a bit less painful for viewing, but the long, narrow format still feels slightly off, never got used to it. One complaint is that my fat fingers encroach on the screen real estate. Bezels are useful. Connectivity with FitBit for notifications remains spotty on both the 6 and the 7 with two different FB models. Verdict: Don't bother. Update 2022-07-07The messaging app is a disaster trying to use RCS with other parties that don't have reliable RCS, it does not automatically drop back to SMS/MMS, so messages sit unsent and silent until you check on them. The 21st century doesn't work as well as they seem to expect.The latest fun is that on the charging stand and charger I have been using all along, it no longer charges. It vibrates indicating charging state, the charge indicator shows charging and it discharges over night, does not feel warm like it is burning battery. It will quick charge with a cable connected charger.Add in the ongoing bluetooth connectivity problems and whatever else I have complained about, this phone is an annoying POS.Every time I drop it, I hope the screen is broken so I can crapcan this inexcusable, expensive crap. Maybe if I remove the case...If only there were a decent, unmolested Android replacement available.Update 2022-04-14Had it a few weeks now. The camera is good, bluetooth headset doesn't usually connect or if it does, phone does not appropriately switch audio devices. The fingerprint sensor is often annoyingly slow when it works, I am still cursing the design choice to put it in the screen rather than somewhere that would have physical identification and be easy to use. Curved screen is a pointless gimmick that interferes with viewing and I suspect it is also the cause of swipe navigation being a less than positive experience. The vibration notification seems to be variable, sometimes so subtle you can miss it, sometimes feels OK. I rely on my Fitbit for silent notifications, otherwise I often miss them. I boosted my rating to three stars, there are too many significant caveats with owning this flagship device to rate it higher IMHO.Update: Purchased another one after returning the first. The packaging of the second unit had very nice double security seals with a printed arrow on the tear tab, the first had a cheap adhesive circle that looks like it was applied haphazardly. So far, the finger print sensor is faster. Will update next week if things are working well or sooner if it looks like a repeat experience.I've had the phone for less than five days total, it's on it's 6th spontaneous restart, currently running in Safe Mode because that is the recommended first step in diagnosis. Negative points for Safe Mode going into Airplane Mode after I had logged in and put the phone down. The restarts have been before and after the February update.Good things: Battery life is pretty good IMHO, my dock came unplugged one day and I woke up to it having a 50% charge after 36 hours.Other good things: Migrating to the new phone was mostly seamless. Camera seems good, haven't really checked it out.Real problems: random little glitches in animations, it's kind of like working with Linux as a GUI desktop, it's just not quite "there" in the way Windows and Mac OS are. Attached is an image of a cute little persistent booger. Sometimes it switches the phone to BT unit when you pick up a call, sometimes it doesn't.Other negative observations that aren't problems: My first phone with a wrap-around screen. Complete waste of effort IMHO, serves no purpose other than making the usable screen narrower and distorting the text at the beginning and end of lines. Too narrow/too long, it falls out of pockets that my old XL stayed in. Fingerprint sensor has been good at identifying me so far, but it's a bit slow, you have to consciously hold finger there for a second. I miss having a tactile identifier for it so I don't have to look at the phone before I unlock it.Update: Returning it. Randomly restarted in Safe Mode. Random restarts are completely unacceptable, I am on-call 24/7 very often and having a phone sitting and waiting for you to log in before it runs messaging apps is unusable.
