    Why soooo big?
    It’s way cooler 2021 to fit more in less. Way more high tech 🤓

    Ever since Google Photos stopped being free, I stopped taking photos. Only when it’s really needed.

    • Nielson Lucas

      August 5, 2021 at 8:05 pm

      Or disable Google Photos. When I got my iPhone XR 2 ½ years ago, I decided not to use Google Photos anymore.

      Google photos isn’t free?

    • 99 Red Balloons 🎈

      August 6, 2021 at 1:03 am

      @Partha Bhattacharya The App is free. But no more unlimited free storage! 15GB for Drive, Gmail and Photos.

      August 6, 2021 at 1:05 am

      @Nielson Lucas What do you use then? I use Android and iOS but Google photos is the only multi OS App which is good. And I have been uploading since it first came out.

    I have a Pixel 3 It’s okay I want to say the best I know that when it heats up when the sun is reflected to it it says it’s heating up I also have a moto. which is older than that that never had an issue like that before. So let’s see if this is going to be their best product yet to flourish the market.

    Is there an SD card slot on the Pixel 6️⃣? No SD, no point 😅!

      You are living in 2013 I think

    • Karim Sumar

      August 5, 2021 at 10:57 pm

      @deep matharu
      Not really. A 512 micro SD now only cost £49. That’s a branded one.
      I store much of the memories on card, photos, Videos, Games , PDF books 📚 etc Why pay cloud 🌥 storage?They are not free. And if WiFi down, no access!
      4K recording take huge chunk of storage.
      SD card is a MUST in 2021.
      Wake up, I think 🤔 you’re in 2013!

    Sorry, but if Samsung’s S21’s have just tanked you can bet that the hyped Pixel 6 at around $1000 is about to tank this year too. 💯

  9. Clark Mills

    August 5, 2021 at 8:46 pm

    Please… a mechanical switch for the microphone. At least I know where to place the metal foil sticker for the front camera.

    Just got my S21 Ultra, and I’ll have to say that I haven’t use 50% of its potential yet.

      start using it, its worth it

    I can’t understand why there is no desktop mode in pixel phones until now

  12. Ilia

    August 5, 2021 at 9:22 pm

    A dedicated AI and speech recognition chip so that google could listen to everything that we say even better.

    August 5, 2021 at 9:23 pm

    Decent? They have had the best camera 5 years in a row!!!

  14. Tim Lucas

    This definitely be the successor to my aging Pixel 3XL.

    The optimization on this phone better be A1

  16. Bob Simmons

    August 5, 2021 at 11:06 pm

    I’m really hoping there is some sort of deal where if you buy the pixel 6 you get a month or two of YouTube TV free

  17. Diuran

    August 5, 2021 at 11:11 pm

    CNET you want better camera ok, then company’s need remove wider camera, zoom camera etc and left only one much bigger sensor and bigger better glass.

    August 5, 2021 at 11:43 pm

    Is this video about the Pixel 6 Pro or the iPhone?
    Sorry, but I have to 👎👎👎 it.

  20. Alex de Leon

    August 6, 2021 at 12:00 am

    Sounds like is going to be between expensive and very expensive, so I’m not excited.

    It was a rumour that third party apps will be optimized thanks to the Tensor chip

    Hmm 🤔

  23. Don Rob

    August 6, 2021 at 12:48 am

    The PIXEL PHONES always seem to be LEAKED EARLY… But one thing that wasn’t LEAKED was that TENSOR CHIP… They’ve been working on that CHIP for 4 years 🤔

    I’m a big fan of Pixel phones, and love my Pixel 3a. But I find the Geordi La Forge inspired camera lump on the back of the Pixel 6 to be quite ugly, and I don’t like the pastel colours it comes in. I also hate the pics of the new “Material You” interface with the dreadfully boring pastel shades of green. They could have chosen a much better example for their promo photos.

  25. Jay Gee

    August 6, 2021 at 2:32 am

    Does anyone know if this will have a secure folder feature similar to Samsung?

  26. GalaxyNexus1

    August 6, 2021 at 3:02 am

    So far, I’m sold. Very excited to see these phones.

  27. HOODRICH HAUL

    August 6, 2021 at 3:10 am

    No headphone jack… Ok….no SD card slot… Not flag ship. I’m a media junky so if slow data for streaming I watch off my backup music and videos from SD… Also 4k videos will eat your storage

    I think this is the year that the Google Pixel becomes, for lack of a better expression, “the iPhone of Android”. The definitive Android experience.

  29. Anirudh Puranik

    August 6, 2021 at 3:36 am

    1:35 no zoom lens on standard Pixel 6. Only regular and ultrawide

  30. jamzone

    August 6, 2021 at 3:47 am

    Best thing about it is the tensor chip because than Google make both the software and the hardware and can optimize it very much like the iPhone.

  31. JB Block

    August 6, 2021 at 4:24 am

    Thank you for your video I always appreciate it. Sounds like it’s going to be okay in a world of great.

    I’m waiting for the Note 22 Ultra ! Long live the Note !

  32. Bernard N

    August 6, 2021 at 4:35 am

    I need a new phone but I’m not sold on the tensor chip. First generation hardware usually have big flaws.

    • DragonPupEclipse

      August 6, 2021 at 9:34 am

      Apple’s first-gen M1 chips have 0 flaws. So what makes you think Google Tensor will have flaws? Because it’s Google and that is why?????

  33. Nishanth S

    August 6, 2021 at 5:15 am

    The new pixel looks no less than a flagship iphone, in a way even better than iphones
    Also pixels are cool🎉🎉🎉

  42. Wild Heart

    August 6, 2021 at 3:57 pm

    What I think is that, that camera set up on the back looks bloody awful!
    So, what’s new? I predict it’ll get dented very easily and will make case designs very interesting.
    I always look forward to the new Pixel designs, even though they’re out of my meagre budget, but the Camera Hump, is a total turn off, for me.

    Can they just fire their design department

  47. Papi Grande

    My feeling is that it’s overhyped but I’m still excited to see it.

    thought of Apple 13 but pixel 6 has got my attention now

  51. Nizar Noor

    August 7, 2021 at 11:47 am

    Pixel 6 is going to be the same size as Pixel 4 XL yet its screen resolution will be just 1080p. That’s not going to look good. They should’ve made it smaller (same size as Pixel 5 instead).

  52. Caloy eh!

    August 7, 2021 at 12:32 pm

    The richest company or person in the world failed to give me a FREE iPhone 12.
    Now, here goes the Android Beast Phone and im pretty sure that the whole world will again FAIL to share a single Pixel 6 phone for me as a FREE Phone. Let that sink in

  53. Andrew Lee

    August 7, 2021 at 12:37 pm

    Excited? Yes. Will it come to my country? No.

  55. Rana Chandra CREATION

    August 7, 2021 at 3:00 pm

    Is 4x zoom sufficient, where other flagship phones providing 100-120x zoom

    • TR McCarthy

      August 8, 2021 at 3:30 pm

      That worries me as well. Would have liked to see at least 10 times zoom.

    Will it be awesome if Google drop the pixel 6 before iPhone release their new phone mic drop……. we could only wish

  61. Chris Choi

    August 8, 2021 at 12:55 am

    extremely excited for this phone. looking forward to new chip,amazing camera both static picture and video, really early android beta versions, very long battery life, the large size, and the 120 hz display on the pro. all im asking for now is at least 5 years of android update support. so if it gets android 12 out of the box, i want it to go to at least android 17. even then, thats only 6 total versions compared to 8 for ios, but that would be a huge step up from before.

    I’ve had a Samsung since 2014 but their software experience and constant ads in their apps has driven me to Google’s services. With no new Note to replace my Note 9 it looks like I’m getting a Pixel 6 Pro. That Material You interface has me sold. Plus I already switched my laptop and tablet to ChromeOS devices so sticking to the Google experience makes sense. I just wish they would add USI stylus support that Chromebooks get.

  65. User

    August 8, 2021 at 3:23 am

    Google always did great software and camera processing but the camera hardware lagged behind Samsung and performance lagged behind Apple. Great to see them actual try with the hardware this time, it’s gonna be great

    • SSaini

      August 10, 2021 at 1:51 am

      which hardware did google lag behind, I know on paper yes but in real world was there a difference?

  66. Binod Nepali

    August 8, 2021 at 6:20 am

    I am really excited about the pixel. iPhone has not been my favourite cuz it is not able to convenience me with the user interface look and feel

  67. sai shashank

    August 8, 2021 at 7:50 am

    This is the first time I felt a smartphone has a modern look.even with all those leaks I am even more exited for the release of this mobile.there is lot of groundbreaking things going on in pixel

    I’m unbelievable excited for this phone. I have not updated my phone since 2017 (I have the 2xl) and it’s has served me so well; the only reason I am planning to upgrade is because the 2 series will not continue security updates and I’d like to update to ask the new features. I can’t wait!

    August 9, 2021 at 12:32 am

    I was holding out for an iphone but after their announcement to scan all their users photos that’s a hard pass. Hopefully this is a good phone and they don’t pull some privacy breaking BS.

  76. James Berglind

    August 9, 2021 at 1:47 am

    I had been trying for months to get a 4a or a 5. They were out of stock on both Verizon and Google. So I made the switch back to Iphone after many years on the android side.

  80. TP K

    August 9, 2021 at 2:37 pm

    I could never buy another pixel after getting the pixel 4 after the hype on YouTube and the realising that I had paid far to much money for a phone with bad battery and low storage space.
