is there a particular reason for that? I got my Ps5 through FedEx international shipping

Google announces the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro

In my neck of the woods (rural north Florida), my problems with FedEx this year alone include:
- Routinely damaged packages (including damaged contents), handling rough enough to either partly crush the box or rip reinforced tape.
- Packages damaged enough prior to being loaded on the delivery vehicle that FedEx just marked them as destroyed.
- Packages left near the road, on the grass, even when it's raining.
- On that note, 99% of the time the delivery drivers won't bring the package to my front door.
- Drivers claiming they tried to deliver a package when they didn't (and I was outside at least half an hour before AND after the time the tracking was marked as such on several occasions). This has happened for the same package several days in a row.
- Delivering packages to the wrong address. I've even received a package for someone who lives where I suspect they are leaving some of my packages at on the same day they misdelivered my package (same house number, but a mile away on the other side of a state highway).
damn, well I'm sorry to hear that you've had such rotten luck this year. I don't mind doing in store pickups as long as that method can be trusted, but if it's a shipping service other than FedEx then I don't think I'd mind having it delivered either
The Pixel 6 series may bring back Active Edge, keep Battery Share
Active Edge was missing on the Pixel 5, but Google introduced Battery Share (reverse battery sharing). Active Edge – launching the Google Assistant by...
I like that this will still be here. I love using it on the Pixel 4 XL
I'm late to this post but I had a terrible experience with FedEx when I got a Pixel 3A a couple of years ago.
Asked to have it left at the store and somehow it never made it there. FedEx even tried to pull a fast one and say they delivered it to my house and never did. Had to call Google and have them ship me another one.
I'm so glad Apple uses UPS.
Edit: Also in north Florida.
It still blows my mind that Google's not debuting a Pixel watch along with the phones. They must hate money lol.
Anyway, I'm hyped to hear more about the Pixel 6 Pro. I'm eyeballing the Silver model. I really wish Google Fi's pricing structure was heavily revised. I love a lot of the features it offers, but compared to other local MVNOs in the US, their pricing model is on the high-end for what you get, especially since T-Mobile now owns Sprint, and Sprint's network is basically being sunsetted. I recently decided to switch to Visible as it's much cheaper.

It's Pixel leak season

Unofficial Pixel 6 Pro video hands-on shows off that glossy back glass in all its glory
We've been (im)patiently waiting to get our hands on the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro since the surprise announcement back in August. Outside of a glass-covered

Honestly, it's been dead for so long now I didn't even think about it.
Yeah, I realize I am in the minority, but it's still a deal breaker for me. I might grab the 5a.
Sooo how does this work usually? Do we expect another "Google Direct" in lack of a better word before the thing launches? Will we only know launch date and price on the literal launch date? A random news drop days before? Leaks?
I really would like some final words on price and other details soon lol.

Pixel 6 launch date just tipped by Google's own app
The Google Pixel 6 could be with us soon, according to code within the company's camera app

I'm extremely excited to see what Google will do with the new camera hardware, especially with video! I'm really hoping they'll knock it out of the park.
I know some people are worried that the Pixel 6 phones are using the GN1 instead of the GN2 or GN5, but I think Google has proven that they can deliver near miraculous results with really old camera sensors. With their excellent software processing, along with dedicated machine learning silicon, I think the GN1 will deliver results that are more than fantastic.
The real question I have now is how much will their Super-Res Zoom improve with the updated telephoto hardware and Google Tensor?

Jesus christ, almost 2 minutes to get to the actual topic of the video, lol.
Some german sites are running a leak/rumor that we'll get a pretty sweet deal for pre-ordering the pixel 6 in germany: 650 Euro and free Bose 700 headphones on top (Which I don't really need since my Sony WH 1000 XM2 still rock, but hey... You can always sell them.)
Got to say I'm tempted to make the jump from my old trusted pixel 2. Maybe even to the Pro,, if that one gets a deal as sweet as that, too. I'd like the better specs, but I'm kind of worried that the added size and curved screen will get on my nerves. Decisions, decisions.

I think the advertising slogans/messaging for the Pixel 6 has been pretty lame... "The first phone that adapts to you," it's kinda like ... Eh, seems like it's still pretty much the same experience as the previous Pixels + Android. Not sure if there's really anything unique there, at least with the new hardware.
I'll be a little bummed if they're close in price. But so far the 5a has been great for me.
I think the zoom lens will be impressive and the main camera won't be as much of an upgrade as people are expecting, but I'll happily be proven wrong!
curious, why do you say that? this is the first time a Pixel phone series is getting new hardware since the 2
I'd still like to see more in the new chips performance, but coming from the PXL3 I'll be seeing a jump anyways.
Really excited for the camera upgrade, I've long loved what Google has done with their camera tech. It's crazy to think 10 years ago we were walking around with much worse point and shoot digital cameras than now can be had in these tiny devices.

Only because 50 megapixel photos get pixel binned down to 12.5 megapixel photos and most of the 50mp phones I've seen don't seem to really preserve that much extra detail or anything during this process. But this is Google and their software for the cameras is top notch, I'm not sure if pixel binning is done by software or the sensor but if it's software I'm sure they'll be doing it really well.
I have seen that they're advertising the camera captures 150% more light so that should make a big difference in lower light situations to be fair, especially with how good Night Sight already is.
So I'd say I'm already being proven wrong and I'd love to be absolutely blown away on all fronts come Tuesday.
I suppose I'm not as tech savvy as you because I don't even know what binning means. You lost me there, lol. But like you said, we'll see soon enough what we're really getting on the 19th.
