Pixel 6/Pixel 6 Pro

[Aneres11]

I wanted to thank you so much for sharing your art with us. I still have the dark crazy swirly 4th one on that I installed this morning. It provides much needed cheer as I am prone to seasonal depression when the weather turns as suddenly as ours did this year.

Because the Pixel Pro display has that interesting attribute of making content appear to be painted on the surface of the display, especially in bright ambient lighting, it looks like my 6Pro is actually painted! I love it.

Despite the colors being so bold and contrasty, I can see my icons and print just fine. It really livens up my phone in its plain black cases and is exactly the look I wanted for a Pixel. Thank you again!

Ahh that is so amazing to hear! I wanted to give my iPad Mini and Apple Pencil a role outside of taking notes for work, so downloaded ProCreate which has been fun!

I want to make some more but there's so much to the app that I need to get my head around! I will definitely share more soon!

What browser is everyone using on the pixel? I’ve been using chrome but it just feels clunky compared to safari on ios. I also miss having the address bar at the bottom. Much easier to reach that way.

Firefox has the search bar at the bottom

Pixel 6 Pro arrived today - absolutely love it. Been on iOS for 3 years, so I'm very happy to return to the Pixel line again. ?

Samsung Browser.
Best by a mile. Chrome is ass.

Received my Kinda Coral. This is the color I really wanted. I know I was all over the place with the colors.
Setting it up now. I have to be careful. My case is arriving tomorrow.

Hey @Tig Bitties

Not sure if this was the kind of thing you wanted... Sorry if not. Perhaps it's not as stealth as you wanted. I can try again if so!
But here's something I put together:

So I installed this app and I LOVE IT!

This app brings back notification LED lights to Google Pixel phones

A blast from the past

www.androidpolice.com

Reminds me of my Pixel 2 which had an OLED notification dot. I purchased the paid version of the app to set individual colors for different notifications, and set my custom animation for those. Super nice to see what notification is waiting for me.

Random but super cool on the pixel IMO.

So there's a pretty SWEET way to get a Pixel 6 Pro in the UK from Vodafone for the grand total of £722.

Basically, take out a new contract with them and once you receive the phone call up to pay off your device plan and cancel your contract. The device plan is coming in at £703 for the 6 Pro minus your £19 upfront fee (so £684).
You then have to pay one month of your data plan (also £19) as it takes 31 days to cancel so one payment will be due. That means it's £722 for a shiney new Pixel 6 Pro.

Not bad at all. A bit of a faff having to take out a contract etc but for those looking to save some money then it's not a bad deal at all.


Works the same for the regular 6, which will cost you £460. A DAMN good price.

Found the strategic white Volvo SUV stash located in a secret location that I can't share within Pittsburgh. All I can say its that it is near Smallman Ave just NE of the strip district.

Pixel 6 ultra wide is nice, though for closer images I wish it wasn't fixed focus. That was the one thing I didn't like about the 11 Pro Max I used to have, as wide shots sometimes looked muddy. Pixel does better with fixed focus, but hoping for AF in the Pix 7.

Samsung Browser.
Best by a mile. Chrome is ass.

Giving it a try, hasn't won me over so far, but neither did Android back when I first played with a nexus years ago. Ran into a browser freeze on Android Authority already, something that happens on Chrome often, and so far hasn't thwarted Firefox.

AA's website, and quantity of ads is a test for any browser. Garbage website IMO, but I like their articles lol.

Anyone find a case similar to the Caudabe Sheath? It's the only case I'll use on my iPhones. But, they don't have one for the Pixel. I did email them to ask if they plan on bringing one out and they said potentially.

I'm having a hard time finding a case I like.

Ditched the stock Pixel launcher for Lawnchair 12 which is basically stock Pixel launcher with tweaks and more options.

I've been using:

Firefox with uBlock origin add-in.
Samsung Internet Browser with AdGuard.

Niiiiice!

This thing with recommended apps showing up in the dock sounds cool, do you guys use it?

I use the suggestions in the app drawer, but not in the dock.

Went with Material You pastel theme. And with Lawnchair launcher I can hide the status bar, looks very clean;

I use Duck Duck Go, but the address bar is on top. However, it seems to have ad blockers and tracking killers built in. This site and others I've been on that can heat up iPhones on Safari run cool and smooth on Duck Duck Go. I have put it on all my phones.

Received my Kinda Coral. This is the color I really wanted. I know I was all over the place with the colors.

Congrats! It's gorgeous. It actually matches my new Apple Watch with a coral-ish stripe on the band. I have a lot of coral colored clothes and accessories. If this color had been on the Pro, with that black trim, I probably would have gone for it. But I was torn among all the colors.

My favorite combo was the one on all the leaks that wasn't released. That was the one that was red/coral on top and white on the bottom. This coral 6 is very close to that.

I hope you enjoy your new phone.
