Will most likely preorder a 6. 6 Pro a little to big in size for my liking.

The pro is only slightly bigger but comes with a better camera and likely better battery performance.

LOL yeah, i know, but the 6 is already slightly bigger than I want it to be. Not worried about the camera as I find the older Pixels great already with their cameras, so with an actual camera upgrade to the full line up this year, I'm not worried. As per the battery, if its better than a Pixel 5, then I'll be good with it. Given the rumored price difference between the two, I'll just stick to the 6.

I guess we'll find out everything very soon.

Think I want the pixel 6... but my wallet probably says to watch marketplace here for when mitsu sells his Pixel5

[beecue]

That was the worst launch. It took me 3 hours to get my order through.

The won't let anyone to do full review is kinda sus. But price is right.

6 Pro seems like the logical step for me, coming from a S20 Ultra where half the major features were gimmicks..(Camera wise)

[HHURICANE1]

Got a Pro pre-ordered to replace my 3A-XL which has been really good. Hope the 6 Pro does it justice.

Ordered a 6 with the free earbuds.

Worst launch ever. I didn't spend nearly as long as everyone else ordering, but my first order glitched after checkout so I ordered a second one only to find out the first actually went through. Cancelled the second order, then went to order details on the first and that keeps redirecting to a broken page (as does my account order history). Google Store support is not available in English (chat, phone, or email), so I had to chat with support in French using Google Translate... he confirmed that my first order is still being processed and will get shipped.

If you're getting the Pro - is it the telephoto, bigger screen, bigger battery, or adaptive refresh rate that you're paying the $380 premium for?

I'm always amazed how many people buy stuff on launch day. Clearly I'm the weirdo, because it's common, but I don't get it.

In the past it's been better to wait for Black Friday for android deals... but the free Pixel buds got me.

Black friday is going to suck this year. Shortages everywhere.

With cell phone tech advancing so quickly, you only have about 45 min to own "the latest and greatest" so I see the appeal much more here than in virtually all other purchases.

[ExtraSlow]

I wonder what the high feels like? Probably amazing. I've never once in my life owned the latest and greatest of anything. As an adopter, you could say I'm somewhat slow . . . .

You clearly don't own any Supreme.

[ExtraSlow]

that's a fashion brand like Monster Energy and Fox Racing, right?

I was hoping they would have the free Google credit again. When I pre-ordered the Pixel 4, then sent it back for full refund, I got to keep the $100 credit, lol.

When it comes to devices that “time out” rather than wear out.

The sooner you get it the longer it’s useful life is. And the more use you will get out of it.

Sure you could wait 25% of its useful life to get it 25% off. But the math on that trade off isn’t great.

Same reason I don’t really understand the market for year old cell phones at 85-95% of initial msrp
