I have used Pixel phones for the last 6 years. I had a pixel 2 and upgraded to 6. It performs as you would expect. It does have the ability to listen to you though so conspiracy theorist beware. I like it overall. The worst part of the phone is the fingerprint unlock feature. It's very inconsistent. Previous version with fingerprint on back of phone was much better. Often I have to use my pin code instead. Other than that I'm pleased with the phone.
