Ordered mine already. Pissed and very happy
Re: Pixel 6 Pro
The combination of a 'meh' upgrade to the iPhone and very ugly and very big Pixel means I'll be sticking with my Pixel 5 for a good while yet
The Pixel 6 looks like cracking value for money though...

Re: Pixel 6 Pro
I'm not sure six hundred quid is good value for money, it'll depend on performance vs that price I suppose.
I'll get my Pixel 4 XL back today (after taking ages to send it back for repair ) so hopefully that'll last me a bit longer, and hopefully the battery won't shit itself again....

I DIY'd the replacing my 3a charge port, apart from carefully melting and unpicking the adhesive with hot water in a bag it wasn't too bad an experience, certainly saved me a lot of money.Beany wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 9:31 am I'm not sure six hundred quid is good value for money, it'll depend on performance vs that price I suppose.

I'm entirely failing to see any "Must Have" feature of pretty much any smartphone released of late though.
Re: Pixel 6 Pro
How did you do that Rob? I'm guessing phone in a sealed bag in a bowl of hot water or something? I need to replace the battery on my Samsung S10 before being able to sell it. I tried to use a hairdryer to take it apart before getting my new phone and all I did was smash the back cover into a million pieces but not enough to actually change the battery.RobYob wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 10:07 amI DIY'd the replacing my 3a charge port, apart from carefully melting and unpicking the adhesive with hot water in a bag it wasn't too bad an experience, certainly saved me a lot of money.Beany wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 9:31 am I'm not sure six hundred quid is good value for money, it'll depend on performance vs that price I suppose.

Re: Pixel 6 Pro
Followed this guide mainly https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Google+Pix ... ent/124313 but instead of the "iOpener" it was hot/boiling water into a ziplock bag. This bag goes in a bowl. Paper towel or tea towel on top of the water bag and then phone onto that tea towel. Tbh the tea towel probably isn't necessary but it would be handy for any drips. The phone does have to get quite hot to soften that glue so ended up refreshing the hot water from the kettle a couple of times.KevH18 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 10:28 am How did you do that Rob?

Being a lazy cheapskate (as if you hadn't already guessed) I did not buy a new glue sealant part but reheated the phone upon assembly to make it feel pretty secure again.
Edit. I used this toolkit https://store.ifixit.co.uk/products/ess ... cs-toolkit

Re: Pixel 6 Pro
I was all poised to order a 256GB 6 (Non-pro) last night, but they don't bring the higher capacity variants to the UK and I didn't want to stump up the extra £££ to get a Pro over a non-pro.

Re: Pixel 6 Pro
Still rocking my Pixel 2XL here.
Re: Pixel 6 Pro
I didn't see the need for big storage for mine. My Pixel 2 XL is 64gb but due to lots of cloud storage is never anywhere near full. 128gb will be way more than I need.
Re: Pixel 6 Pro
Mine still working fairly well tbh, battery even lasts a day. I make sure to only use the main camera app though, read a few comments about third party apps bricking it.
Re: Pixel 6 Pro
Only ever used the camera app that came on it. It's just buggered now sadly
Re: Pixel 6 Pro
I'd hope for 256GB storage for ~£600, but I guess phones generally just keep getting more expensive...

Re: Pixel 6 Pro
Just curious, but what do people fill their phones with that requires that much space?? With cloud storage and streaming what the chuff takes up that many GB's
Re: Pixel 6 Pro
Spending over 200 for a phone, madness.
Re: Pixel 6 Pro
My Pixel 3a is still doing everything I need and takes great pictures. Not seen any reason to upgrade just yet.
Re: Pixel 6 Pro
Ordered a Pixel 6 for my wife as I'm nice like that
