    Read that also. There's nothing concrete yet though. Supposedly it comes with 256GB and an under screen front facing camera. This would be a huge FU from google if they did this, but I haven't seen it pop up on any official android blogs yet. Would have to see the specs on it of it's real to see if I'd even want to upgrade

    In one way, I'm hoping it's real. Google not releasing a "proper" flagship doesn't make sense. But I'm also hoping this is just an early leak for their rollout cycle next year.
    Hopefully next year we go back to something like the P6 and P6XL. Or the Apple route and have a P6, a mini and a pro. Something for everyone.

    I'll happily upgrade next year in Sept/Oct and get a flagship model.

    Yeah I would have preferred an XL model with better specs and I would have happily paid more. P5 fits the bill for now though

    Welcome to the g---! I've had 3 Pixels now; 1, 2 and 5 and moved every one of them.

    Will 100% get the Pixel 6 this year if they dive into the "premium" market again.

    I also find the size of this phone perfect, I can't see myself going down the plus/xl/max route again.

    I don't miss the note 10 plus size but I would go for a pixel 6xl if it's a choice depending on if it has better features

    Assuming there is a Pixel 6 & 6XL, and assuming the o my differences are the size and batter mAh, I'll go with the standard 6. If there are multiple benefits to getting the XL rather than just the size then I'd consider the XL, I hope that's not the case though.

    Are you still e joying the P5? Only think I've noticed is my battery drains quick now. But I get that with all phones because I'm a "power user". I have 5+ hours of screen time every day. I don't have a desktop, laptop or tablet so literally everything is done through my phone.

    My battery life is still great. I don't use it as hard as you do as I do have a laptop. Working from home helps also since I'm on WiFi all day and only do one full charge a day before bed. Hopefully they take the Pixel line more seriously and invest more into it, because I really don't want to ever use a different type of experience through Samsung or another non vanilla Android

    Man I'm pissed...

    I was gonna pre-order it to get the headphones included in the deal but work has been crazy recently. When I finally had time to sit down and work it all out there wasn't any available.

    That pre-order deal was so good that nothing will come close to it until the 7 is out. My P5 still going strong so unless there is another great deal it looks like I'll be waiting until the P7 now.
