I upgraded from the Pixel 3 XL to the 6 pro and judging by the comments on my last Pixel
video, so did a lot of you guys.
So for anybody still on the fence holding onto either a pixel 3 XL or even a pixel 4.
Here's ten Reasons Why You Should Upgrade.
And one really big reason why you shouldn't.
On device dictation is so insanely fast now.

I used to use it all the time on my three XL because it's so convenient, but it was
always still somewhat annoying with how laggy it was.
But on the pixel six pro it's near instant and it makes the whole experience so good.
This is because it's all processed on device now that plus you're able to give commands
like delete, undo and send that it can register in context and act accordingly, making it
much more seamless and you can even activate it without even touching your phone
All day

Battery.
I don't know about you guys, but the 3XL never lasted me a full day.
I'm sure I probably made it worse by using wireless charging at night and in my car during
the day.
But if I couldn't get to a charger during the day, that thing was dead before dinner
time.
However, on the six pro, you can easily hit bedtime with 20% left unless you're a big
power user and then you can just whack it on a charger for about half an hour and you'll
be back up to 50% from zero.
00:01:15:20 - 00:01:37:21 Unknown
This is in part due to the more efficient SOC and the bigger battery.
But Android 12 can also use adaptive battery that learns how to use your phone and is able
to optimize itself to give you a much longer battery life.
5G!
While 5G is only really starting to be a thing in most places, it is faster than 4G, and
if you find yourself wanting that extra speed, then the pixel six pro will allow you to get
it.
00:01:38:04 - 00:02:00:00 Unknown
Though, to be honest, I'm not actually really fussed on it for normal usage and find myself
turning it off to get a bit of extra battery life as well as the fact that it doesn't really
have millimeter wave.
So you aren't getting the crazy fast speeds anyway.
No bathtub notch!
Sure, you might not really notice it as much anymore, but it's definitely still there and
it's definitely taking up screen real estate.
00:02:00:09 - 00:02:20:10 Unknown
The six Pro hole punch can actually vanish, even while watching videos or using full screen
applications.
It's tiny in comparison.
The Telephoto Camera!
it's so much more flattering for portraits and it makes zooming into something really
far away at ten times much clearer than you could have ever gotten with just the main
camera on the three XL.
00:02:20:15 - 00:02:43:11 Unknown
Check out this comparison of mush versus an actual photo of something.
I'm sure Google's Super Res Zoom helps a bit, but there's no substitute for already being
four times closer.
The wide camera.
Sure, you can put up with a slightly pixelated image if you really need to zoom in a bit
more with only the main camera.
But there's almost no way to zoom out and get more into the frame if you're already
backed up against a wall or ledge.
00:02:44:01 - 00:03:02:21 Unknown
In my opinion, a wide angle lens is the most useful in so many situations.
Honestly, it's worth the upgrade solely for this lens.
Back when traveling was a thing.
I bought a wide angle, moment, lens and case specifically for this, but that meant I couldn't
fit in my pocket without taking the lens back off and then babying it in its own little
bag.
00:03:03:01 - 00:03:18:06 Unknown
It was a horrendous experience, but now you don't need that because it's built in and
it's better.
Sure, it's not the first phone to get one by any means.
But if you're a fan of the Pixels, then you no longer have to sacrifice one of the lenses
just to get the latest Pixel.
Now you can have it all.
00:03:18:23 - 00:03:38:19 Unknown
No more speak of vibration on the back of the phone.
It was always a bit of a nitpick and you'd only really notice it at higher volumes.
But it was pretty annoying if you watched a lot of handheld content, so I'm glad it's
no longer an issue.
The need for speed!
This should be a no brainer, but the Pixel 3XL is now over three years old, so new software
can feel pretty clunky on it.
00:03:39:06 - 00:04:06:17 Unknown
It definitely still works, but it's a less than perfect experience.
The Under-Display fingerprint scanner can either be a blessing or a curse, depending
on how you use your phone.
If you frequently want to unlock it while it's on the desk, then you can now look at
what you couldn't do.
The three XL.
However, it's definitely harder to unlock and the distance between your pocket and your
face like you used to do with the capacitive scanner because of the position in the speed.
On the back is just what you're thinking naturally fell.
00:04:06:22 - 00:04:23:14 Unknown
Whereas it'll take a bit of practice to get it fluid on the P6P, but it can be done.
The screen on the P6P is miles ahead of the one found on the three XL.
Not only is it much brighter, bright enough to easily be seen in direct sunlight, but
it also has 120 hertz refresh rate compared to the 60 hertz of the three XL.
00:04:24:00 - 00:04:45:22 Unknown
This is a massive jump up and very noticeable whenever you doomscrolling through either
Instagram or Twitter.
It's also much better for gaming, not only improving the fluidity of the game, but making
you better at it...
Probably...
All this being said, don't buy the Pixel 6Pro, at least not right now.
The Pixel seven is only a few months away and the Pixel 6A even closer.
00:04:46:08 - 00:05:07:02 Unknown
The value of the 6a seems pretty good if you're definitely after a pixel but are a less demanding
user.
But want to keep the cool features like text to speech or Google's camera.
There's a good chance the seven pro will beat the six pro in every category, and as with
all their phones, Google will probably give the P6P a pretty heavy discount once the new
option comes out, which they've literally just done.
00:05:07:12 - 00:05:25:02 Unknown
You can currently get the pixel six base model for only $500.
That's insane value in my opinion.
And might actually be the go over the 6a.
Do you want a pixel?
Which one do you plan on going with?
Or do you think they're a big old buggy mess?
Let me know down below in the comments.
Thanks for stopping by and you'll see me in the next one.

Cya!
