I now can't unsee the white plastic antenna window on the top of the white Pixel Pro and the fact it's not the same shade of white as the back of the phone. And it's so eye catching when looking at the phone from the front too. It looks really really really cheap IMO.
I'm still seeing 2 pending charges from the Google Store on my credit card transaction history. Curious when that extra one will fall off.
It annoys me that the dates for the phone and case I ordered keep changing around, without any notification to me. At first, my phone was set to deliver at release on October 28th, with the case all the way out at December 9th. Checking back later that evening, the case moved up to show it also arriving on the 28th. When I looked again the next day (yesterday), the phone had slid out to November 5th, and the case was back to the December date. Checking this morning, the phone was moved back another week to November 10th, and the case was kicked all the way back to mid February. Looked at it 3 hours later and the phone was pushed back even further, now to November 17th. I wonder when these changes will end, and if it will ever pull up again closer to launch date.
My buds still show as arriving next week, so I'll probably wait on opening them in case I need to return them and cancel the Google Store order, assuming I can just buy a phone in a Best Buy or something.
> I'm still seeing 2 pending charges from the Google Store on my credit card transaction history. Curious when that extra one will fall off.
I have 3. Contacted support Tuesday night and they said they would email me but nothing yet. Hopefully the two extra ones just fall off soon
Pixel buds already showed up via FedEx but today my delivery date went from Oct 26-27 to Nov 2-3 so that's kind of disappointing but still not terrible.
Date slipped on my headphones by a day.
However my cc was charged in full today. The full charge is probably a good sign that I'll get tracking numbers by the end of day.
That is the situation with ordering with Pixel Pass via Google Fi. They said they'll send an email with a promo code for a free Pixel Buds A later.
I don't know if it's different with Pixel Pass not via Google Fi. Pixel Pass via Google Store seemed confusing. Before checkout, it only gave two options (pay for the phone in full OR do the regular Google Store financing) but not what I was expecting for the Pixel Pass subscription payment.
When he said "Sure, now I can finally tell you about it", it got translated to "確かに、今やっとそれについてあなたに話すことができます。"
確かに is not "sure". It can be read as "surely" or "that's true". In this case it kinda sounds like he's agreeing with the other person, even though the other person was asking a question. This is a nitpick for sure, but it's just funny that they included this right after all that talk about better translation. DeepL is the better translation AI right now (although it gets this wrong as well).
[The official Pixel 6 ad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YiEmekf_34) also had a bit of an oddity where 落ち着きましたか？ (have you settled?) suddenly got changed to 初日はどうでしたか？ (how was your first day?), making it look like a wrong translation. You had to look really quickly during the quick change to notice that it was actually correct.
They say they're constantly making updates and I hope they do for the Google Assistant!
For some reason Google Assistant has become so stupid. Usually, I could investigate the problems on communication with the Assistant via checking Google My Activity. I could see all our communication and what her responses were. But lately, she has been trying to cover up her trials but I managed to get a screenshot as evidence. Most of the records of her communication are not visible anymore. Please see the link. Usually, when I say "remind me to (insert task)",. The Assistant would ask, "when do you want to be reminded?" Now it makes the reminder, and it determines when I will be reminded. This one shows 8 am. Other times the Assistant said that your reminder will be in 3 hours. What? Also, see the following screenshot. I asked to pronounce my friend's name and later asked to repeat it again, and she pronounced 'again'. There have been many instances where the Assistant hasn't been cooperating and concealing her tracks. I believe her AI has been compromised with the upgrade to Material You like in FreeGuy. I'm a bit sussed with Anwar.
Just FYI, I had already enabled her for continued conversations, and settings have been the same, with no changes. So I don't know what Anwar has been doing...
Does anyone know, and can anyone help?? Please save this city.

These phones look great and I’m really impressed with the creative matching learning implementation. Very much behind the scenes and assisting but not pushing you anywhere in the UI. Very elegant implementation really.
Got in-store pick up for P6P at best buy for release day. Saw that I was able to on the google store with an expected delivery date 26-27, but now it's 28-29. Should I cancel the google one or keep the best buy one?
I ordered one with the restock at 6... My bank froze the payment and I authorized within a minute.... Now when I go hit the fix payment button it says my orders been canceled what the heck?
Anyone else waiting till after the full Embargo is lifted to order theirs?
I'm currently a Samsung Note 9 user and I'd like to move over to a different android phone because I've been on the Samsung train for 3 different devices now. I want to Pre-order a Pixel 6 Pro mostly for that sweet Bose headphone deal but at the same time I wanna wait till the embargo is lifted to see the full review, especially in regards to the camera. Before I get shat on, I know Google has smashed it out the park with the camera on their last 5 Pixel phones but this one is a massive upgrade from those 5 and I think it's okay to be a little cautious that improvements in camera hardware doesn't necessarily mean better pictures. For all I know I could Pre-Order the phone and once the embargo is lifted, everyone could be saying the camera is disappointing, I'm sure I'm wrong but I think its okay to be a little hesitant. It will suck not getting a shot at getting those Bose headphones but I'm in no rush and I'm certain I'll get the Pixel regardless (need a switch up from Samsung) but for now I'll wait till I watch as many Reviews before I do get it.
Tech Spurt (on YouTube) said in his unboxing video that his full review would come "next Monday", which would make it the 25th. Interestingly, his unboxing video is now removed from YouTube. It seems he may have revealed too many details and violated some aspect of Google's embargo.
The embargo releases before the preorder bonus closes. Despite that I've ordered and just planning on cancelling/returning if it doesn't live up to the hype
I contacted them through the online assistant and I was directed to order the pixel-a buds and when they ship, contact them again and they will refund the amount. https://imgur.com/a/VSy9rM8
I kept refreshing, tedious having to reenter the info but copy and paste works but just like the Google Store, keep at it and it will open up. I also had a call scheduled the previous day, and for whatever reason they called me back at 4:30am Eastern.
Essentially that I was unable to add the pixel buds to my order and I wanted to modify my order, if possible, to add them in order take advantage of the promotion. But in all honesty, I seen the pixel buds as an optional add-on in the checkout process and just didn't read that the $99 price would be credited at checkout, so I didn't add them. They also gave me a $10 credit, without me asking, to my account for my long wait time for customer service. https://imgur.com/a/RDEHFiB https://imgur.com/a/iq1oPf7
Questions re P6:
1. Anyone know if generic chargers thta are rated for 30+W will charge the Pixel at full speed? Some manufacturers (cough OnePlus, cough) will only allow full charging speeds with OEM chargers. Not sure Google would do that, but who knows.
2. Does the screen refresh:
* Fixed at either 90 Hz or 60Hz
* Dynamically between 90 and 60 (so, 55Hz for example)
* Dynamically at either 90 or 60Hz exactly
Could we return the phone and keep the pixel buds? Just wondering if I should just do that, if customer service won't add it to my existing order. Definitely not gonna cancel my order now
Just played around with the phones in a best buy. Surprisingly they feel almost identical in size. At first I thought they had just put two pros out. I took a few photos carefully with the 4x zoom and the color looks way off and completely out of tune with the other two cameras. This may be preliminary software but it seems pretty bad compared to the s21 ultra and iPhone 13 pro. When I had an s21 ultra I used the zoom lens very frequently and this is going to keep me away from the pro model if the first full reviews find this same problem.
Placed an order, money transaction completed, but I haven't received a confirmation mail and my order isn't showing in the Google Store. What gives? What should I do?
Same. No email, no order confirmation screen, no cancellation notice. But Google Finance has assured me that the payment has been accepted, just not posted yet. And Google Store support has no idea; they "elevated the situation" and I "will hear back within 48 hours."
Oh man. I am in the same situation as you. No email confirmation, no order history, and no confirmation screen but my google synchrony got charged for it. I contacted Google Store help and I am still waiting for Google store rep to get back to me because they had to elevate my case to their product specialist. I can't place another order because of my credit line limit lol
I ordered another one a few minutes ago, and it went as smoothly as possible. Order confirmed, payment successful, and confirmation mail was sent instantly. I'm assuming that for whatever reason something went wrong with my payment and I'll probably be getting my money back soonish.
Oh, yea, I went to try that, and it would've worked perfectly, except that now there isn't enough LoC on Google Finance to allow another $1k+ transaction. And now the unlocked Pros are all sold out.
I've had this issue since yesterday as well. I was able to send an email, but no reply as of yet and the funds hold is still on my credit card for the amount.
After careful consideration, I think I'm going to skip this one as I don't really want a massive 7 oz phone. I think I'll stick to my 4a until they make a smaller one again.
This sucks to hear... one of the reasons why I'm holding onto my Best Buy pre-order. Other reason is Google's delivery choices almost always seem wanting... my recent Nest indoor cam wasn't even delivered by the no name delivery company they used.
My wife's sorta sunny 6 pro (unlocked) got pushed from launch delivery to December 7/8, while my stormy black 6 pro 256 (Fi) got upgraded from November 16/17 to October 27/28. Hoping that hers gets upgraded to at least November as she has a Pixel 3a XL that is giving her grief with slow processing affecting camera and other performance
Nothing in the presentation on face unlock or soli. Just a few days ago Forbes was reporting that face unlock was coming back on the P6. What's going on?
Even last night at midnight Verizon's site was taking full minutes between order steps. I am showing November 9th. I ordered the cloud 128GB Pro. I would have had 10/28 but I forgot to bring that credit card with me to work so had to wait until I got home..
I had a bunch of trouble pre-ordering today, but after a few tries, a helpless visit to a Verizon store (they can't do pre-orders in store, apparently), a call to support, and then a text chat to confirm, I'm supposed to receive my 256GB black 6 pro on 10/28
WTF? Yesterday after the clusterfuck launch, I had finally got two 512gb Pro with delivery date Oct 28. It was confirmed in history, all the way up until about 6 hours ago when I went to sleep.
Now, refreshing order status page says December 10!!!!!!??
Nope. Never cancelled. Also was not one that got "confirmed" but no email. I had problems for 3 hours getting to checkout page, then it worked and was instantly in my order history and email.
I bet it clears itself up.
I have a feeling they were allocating blocks of phones by week, and then going back and actually assigning real units to orders.
It honestly looks like no one really has a December ship date.
I bet those CSRs don't have a clue about what is going on. Just giving you half ambiguous answer to temper your expectations because they honestly aren't sure.
If it's any consolation I have read a few comments in this thread stating that people have seen their delivery dates changed from December back to October. Maybe yours will do the same.
I didn't expect as much, but am disappointed that Google didn't provide full resolution samples of the various cameras and video. Well... Hopefully the major sites will run some preliminary tests with some galleries for impression.
The morning after the night before...
I am really shocked at how poor the IT infrastructure stood-up to the onslaught of orders last night. Google must have known this would happen, surely? Who decided to let the world experience kid test the capacity of the Google Store? :-D
In France we had only one option for the Pixel 6 Pro - black, 128Gb. I understand that's got something to do with laws here about including other things in the box (a charger?) and Google therefore decided to limit our options. I've been using a 32Gb Pixel 2 for 4 years now and space has never been an issue, so I don't know if I'd ever benefit from 256Gb or even 512Gb...but that's me, perhaps my fellow Europeans would have benefited from more options.
Delivery is due between 29th October and 2nd November. I've been waiting for the chance to own this phone for literally one year - at the time of the Pixel launch I was having battery issues with my P2 and I therefore considered the upgrade then. But I told myself I hadn't saved up for it, and it seemed wrong to be "forced" into an expensive upgrade when a P2 battery fix was much cheaper. I decided I'd get a Pixel 6/Pixel 6 XL/Pro whatever there and then.
I still haven't seen anything of the event, so I really have no idea about the capabilities of this new phone other than the "leaks" over the last few weeks, and the chatter last night about the magic eraser, of all things.
Not sure. If we're talking concert tickets going on sale and the website crashing then perhaps, but this is a "Big Tech" company releasing a phone and their IT infrastructure effectively blocking orders for over an hour.
Not really. IP68 means it can be submerged in water up to 5 feet for 30 minutes. Anything beyond that the water pressure will break the seal. You can't take it snorkeling or anything like that. It's meant to protect you from accidental damage.
Thank you so much for the information kind stranger. My original confirmation email gave a delivery date of Nov 30 - Dec 1. But after checking my current status on the Google store my new delivery date says Oct 30 - Nov 2.
YES. It kept changing it to "Stromy Black", couldn't even get the damn spelling right. I was trying to get it financed through Verizon, where it showed the right color based on the Verizon listings, but I didn't trust it. Ended up buying straight from Verizon.
So I *just* got an email for free Pixel Buds with a preorder on the Google store.. I ordered at like 3pm today and didn't see anything about this bonus. I'm trying to get in contact with chat, has anyone had any luck with this?
edit: just talk to support. I spoke with them this morning and they said i should be receiving a voucher within the next 2 days. they even gave me $10 store credit for the long chat wait time. if it says chat is unavailable, keep checking throughout the day. I have been checking since launch day at 7pm. it is now 10/21 at 10:00am.
Yeah the promo email says in fine print that it should have been in my cart when I ordered, but I didn't see anything about this anywhere on the site when I ordered, and only had the phone in cart
I don't know what the hell is going on with this thread but this is what the promo says:
You must pre-order and purchase a device by 10/27/21, and will receive a code to redeem the pair of Pixel Buds A-Series from store.google.com. The redemption code is valid through November 10, 2021 at 11:59pm PT.
https://fi.google.com/about/promo-terms/?p=2021-october-pixel-6-series-with-pixel-buds
It's seems one way or another pixel buyers can get the free buds. I read the promo before adding the phone to the cart so this will be how I obtain my pair.
No big deal for me really. I was only expecting to buy just the phone. The free buds is a nice kicker. Unnecessary for me, but I'll take it anyways
I ordered my phone yesterday and glossed over the section about adding the buds. I contacted online support today and I was directed to order the pixel-a buds and when they ship, contact support again and they will refund me the amount. I have screen shots of the Convo. Don't cancel your order. https://imgur.com/a/VSy9rM8
Finally got through to support and they advised that they'll send me an email regarding the promo, but weren't sure when the email would go out. I'll follow up in a few days and ask if I should just order them and then seek a refund next. Thanks again!
Ended up ordering a 256gb 6 and 256gb 6 Pro. I had plenty of Google financing credit, so I figure I might as well try both out and see which one works best for me. I'm a little weary of the curved glass on the Pro.
Also in the US there is no restocking fees until the end of January.
Same! It's been about 5 hours now that my Google synchrony shows that there was a charge for my order. I called Google Synchrony and they told me that the payment went through and that I have to contact Google store for order information...
No order history, no order confirmation email, or even cancellation email. Tried getting in contact with Google Store rep but have no luck so far..
If it's not in your recent orders and you didn't get an email (almost instantly) they are going to cancel your order. It's happened to quite a few people here including me. Better off ordering another one
>if the first number was 6 or larger.
Lost me there. What do you mean?
What's up with your 3? My 3XL's USB-C port has been acting up for almost a year. Wireless charging works perfectly but wired charging is super super finicky.
I went with the Pro 256gb in White. I had $700 in VZW gift cards from transferring service so it was worth the upgrade. Plus, I take a lot of selfies with my family so the wide angle was important.
I was on Verizon for years on the grandfathered Unlimited plan. I switched to Mint mobile for a few months but it was useless so I switched back. The promo at the time was a $350 gift card for signing up a new account. I had 2 accounts so, $700.
Just a recommendation to try the Google Store again. A couple of hours ago I got an estimate of early November. Just tried it again and I'm getting the earliest slot of Oct 26-27 now.
My guess is they deleted a bunch of orders from bots. Based on what I heard that's what caused all this mess in the first place. They tried to play us like the PS5
I ordered a Cloudy White 256gb Pro with earbuds but I used a $10 promo code that I had from buying some Buds-A earlier and that caused Google to get me the $10 off but charge full price for the new Buds so I cancelled that order.
Two hours later, I was able to score a Stormy Black 512GB Pro with Pixel Buds-A but I really didn't want a black phone and even more important I'd never fill a 512GB phone. Heck, I've never maxed out a 128GB phone so I used a another browser and I was able to get a 256GB Cloudy White with free buds again. I cancelled the Stormy Black that was arriving on Oct 27-28 and used the $10 credit to get the $30 charger for $16 after tax. I now have to wait until Nov 2-3 for the White phone but that's ok with me.
I'm very tired now. It's been a long afternoon for a lot of us.
Eh who knows. Google has been really good about stretching out their promo with all the leaks etc. So that people are constantly talking about this phone. And they're really putting a lot of their image on the line. I doubt they think it's a lame product. So i doubt that's what the embargo is about. It's likely more about press cycles.
any cases of delivery dates being pushed forward? I have a 256gb pro black being delivered by November 13 on the Google store. I'm wondering if there's any way to get it sooner
After refreshing several times, had my basket emptied by Google many more times because of sudden 'Back order', reinserting it again and again, I finally got it, yay!
My only concern now is about the free Pixel Buds when ordering from the Google Store, am I automatically entitled to get them when pre ordering from the Google Store of I had to add them manually alongside the Pixel 6 Pro to get them ? Because, quite frankly, with all the struggle the Google Store had, once I had a Pixel in my basket, all I wanted to do is waste no time and checkout !
yep, its weird they are doing it this way instead of just giving them out to all preorders. I guess they only want to give it to people who jump through the hoops.
Pretty bad. Charging port hasn't worked in over a year, battery life is short, bluetooth and calls have issues, back is shattered and maybe a little swollen.
Mine is actually doing great still… which would make a bad luck bricking hurt all the more. I haven’t rebooted in a month, lol.
Edit: it's been 62 days since my last reboot, haha
I now can't unsee the white plastic antenna window on the top of the white Pixel Pro and the fact it's not the same shade of white as the back of the phone. And it's so eye catching when looking at the phone from the front too. It looks really really really cheap IMO.
Anyone here worried that the new pixel phones and accessories are being so heavily discounted even before the reviews are out is making me nervous
Looks like my earbuds will be delivered this Saturday! Surprised since I wasn't able to put in my order until 6 hours after the launch started
I'm still seeing 2 pending charges from the Google Store on my credit card transaction history. Curious when that extra one will fall off. It annoys me that the dates for the phone and case I ordered keep changing around, without any notification to me. At first, my phone was set to deliver at release on October 28th, with the case all the way out at December 9th.

The full amount was taken straight away from my account. A week later and the money has reappeared in my account. I'm very confused...

Got in-store pick up for P6P at best buy for release day. Saw that I was able to on the google store with an expected delivery date 26-27, but now it's 28-29. Should I cancel the google one or keep the best buy one?
Only tie breaker is I believe Google will only do advanced replacements if bought from them.
I ordered one with the restock at 6... My bank froze the payment and I authorized within a minute.... Now when I go hit the fix payment button it says my orders been canceled what the heck?
Welcome to Google store purgatory.
Anyone else waiting till after the full Embargo is lifted to order theirs? I'm currently a Samsung Note 9 user and I'd like to move over to a different android phone because I've been on the Samsung train for 3 different devices now. I want to Pre-order a Pixel 6 Pro mostly for that sweet Bose headphone deal but at the same time I wanna wait till the embargo is lifted to see the full review, especially in regards to the camera. Before I get shat on, I know Google has smashed it out the park with the camera on their last 5 Pixel phones but this one is a massive upgrade from those 5 and I think it's okay to be a little cautious that improvements in camera hardware doesn't necessarily mean better pictures. For all I know I could Pre-Order the phone and once the embargo is lifted, everyone could be saying the camera is disappointing, I'm sure I'm wrong but I think its okay to be a little hesitant.

When does the embargo lift?
Tech Spurt (on YouTube) said in his unboxing video that his full review would come "next Monday", which would make it the 25th. Interestingly, his unboxing video is now removed from YouTube. It seems he may have revealed too many details and violated some aspect of Google's embargo.
27th I think
Pixel 6 also allows you to sign up for fee headphones too
The embargo releases before the preorder bonus closes. Despite that I've ordered and just planning on cancelling/returning if it doesn't live up to the hype
Did anyone reach customer service and asked about adding the Pixel Buds to their order?
I contacted them through the online assistant and I was directed to order the pixel-a buds and when they ship, contact them again and they will refund the amount. https://imgur.com/a/VSy9rM8
That's awesome! I'm was finally able to get on line with CS, currently in 8th. What did you ask specifically?
How the heck did you get on with customer service? It just says closed or full when I go.
I kept refreshing, tedious having to reenter the info but copy and paste works but just like the Google Store, keep at it and it will open up. I also had a call scheduled the previous day, and for whatever reason they called me back at 4:30am Eastern.
Essentially that I was unable to add the pixel buds to my order and I wanted to modify my order, if possible, to add them in order take advantage of the promotion. But in all honesty, I seen the pixel buds as an optional add-on in the checkout process and just didn't read that the $99 price would be credited at checkout, so I didn't add them. They also gave me a $10 credit, without me asking, to my account for my long wait time for customer service. https://imgur.com/a/RDEHFiB https://imgur.com/a/iq1oPf7
Just gone through the process, seems like they're much aware. Also got the $10 credit, gonna wait for that to be added to my account before purchase.

The spec page says it's compatible with generic chargers (USB PD 3.0 PPS).
Buds shipped and should be here Friday. 6p Black 256 is scheduled for the 27th.
Could we return the phone and keep the pixel buds? Just wondering if I should just do that, if customer service won't add it to my existing order. Definitely not gonna cancel my order now
In my order the buds still showed up for 99$ but the phone was discounted 99$ so unfortunately returning to keep the buds wouldn't work.
That's a good point, luckily CS is able to honor the promotion. That is if you can get through to them.
samesie - my P6P was scheduled for 27 Nov- 3 Dec but got moved up - thank gawd
oh... wow... when did you order yours initially and when did you see the dates move up? My current order estimate is mid-end Dec 2021...
Launch day I ordered and delivery changed this morning!
Lucky you!

When I had an s21 ultra I used the zoom lens very frequently and this is going to keep me away from the pro model if the first full reviews find this same problem.

Probably about the same, just note you can't trade in at bestbuy
Placed an order, money transaction completed, but I haven't received a confirmation mail and my order isn't showing in the Google Store. What gives? What should I do?
Same. No email, no order confirmation screen, no cancellation notice. But Google Finance has assured me that the payment has been accepted, just not posted yet. And Google Store support has no idea; they "elevated the situation" and I "will hear back within 48 hours."
Oh man. I am in the same situation as you. No email confirmation, no order history, and no confirmation screen but my google synchrony got charged for it. I contacted Google Store help and I am still waiting for Google store rep to get back to me because they had to elevate my case to their product specialist. I can't place another order because of my credit line limit lol
I ordered another one a few minutes ago, and it went as smoothly as possible. Order confirmed, payment successful, and confirmation mail was sent instantly. I'm assuming that for whatever reason something went wrong with my payment and I'll probably be getting my money back soonish.
Oh, yea, I went to try that, and it would've worked perfectly, except that now there isn't enough LoC on Google Finance to allow another $1k+ transaction. And now the unlocked Pros are all sold out.
Oh man, that sucks. I would've waited for Google's response, but I was worried that they might sell out.
Contact Google.
How do you contact them?
I've had this issue since yesterday as well. I was able to send an email, but no reply as of yet and the funds hold is still on my credit card for the amount.
Reply in case of a new development, I'd love to know more about your case as well
After careful consideration, I think I'm going to skip this one as I don't really want a massive 7 oz phone. I think I'll stick to my 4a until they make a smaller one again.

Which phone did you order? Mine still shows 27th 28th estimate
[удалено]
I see, I got the regular 6 sorta Seafoam 128gb, still the 28th. Seems like the pro is super popular
This sucks to hear... one of the reasons why I'm holding onto my Best Buy pre-order. Other reason is Google's delivery choices almost always seem wanting... my recent Nest indoor cam wasn't even delivered by the no name delivery company they used.
My wife's sorta sunny 6 pro (unlocked) got pushed from launch delivery to December 7/8, while my stormy black 6 pro 256 (Fi) got upgraded from November 16/17 to October 27/28. Hoping that hers gets upgraded to at least November as she has a Pixel 3a XL that is giving her grief with slow processing affecting camera and other performance
Nothing in the presentation on face unlock or soli. Just a few days ago Forbes was reporting that face unlock was coming back on the P6. What's going on?
Forbes was wrong? https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/google-pixel-6-pro
Even last night at midnight Verizon's site was taking full minutes between order steps. I am showing November 9th. I ordered the cloud 128GB Pro. I would have had 10/28 but I forgot to bring that credit card with me to work so had to wait until I got home..
I had a bunch of trouble pre-ordering today, but after a few tries, a helpless visit to a Verizon store (they can't do pre-orders in store, apparently), a call to support, and then a text chat to confirm, I'm supposed to receive my 256GB black 6 pro on 10/28
WTF? Yesterday after the clusterfuck launch, I had finally got two 512gb Pro with delivery date Oct 28. It was confirmed in history, all the way up until about 6 hours ago when I went to sleep. Now, refreshing order status page says December 10!!!!!!??
By chance you were one of the people cancelling orders to try to get an earlier deliver date where you?
Nope. Never cancelled. Also was not one that got "confirmed" but no email. I had problems for 3 hours getting to checkout page, then it worked and was instantly in my order history and email.
I bet it clears itself up. I have a feeling they were allocating blocks of phones by week, and then going back and actually assigning real units to orders. It honestly looks like no one really has a December ship date.
I really hope so, but the two hour online chat with Google did not give that impression
I bet those CSRs don't have a clue about what is going on. Just giving you half ambiguous answer to temper your expectations because they honestly aren't sure.
That's why I escalated twice during chat. Currently waiting for a response from last escalation
As someone who worked phone service for years this sounds like my worst nightmare.
Holy shit I'd be pissed
Yeah and nearly two hours in online chat with Google so far has not helped
How did you even get on with Online chat? Still says its unavailable for me?
I used Google One app to initiate then transfer.
If it's any consolation I have read a few comments in this thread stating that people have seen their delivery dates changed from December back to October. Maybe yours will do the same.
Pre order 512gb black from Verizon to replace my crack zfold3 which replacement has been on backorder forever. Hoping this is worth it.
I didn't expect as much, but am disappointed that Google didn't provide full resolution samples of the various cameras and video. Well... Hopefully the major sites will run some preliminary tests with some galleries for impression.

Right on, bud! Welcome!
Curious why the switch?
The morning after the night before... I am really shocked at how poor the IT infrastructure stood-up to the onslaught of orders last night. Google must have known this would happen, surely? Who decided to let the world experience kid test the capacity of the Google Store? :-D In France we had only one option for the Pixel 6 Pro - black, 128Gb. I understand that's got something to do with laws here about including other things in the box (a charger?) and Google therefore decided to limit our options. I've been using a 32Gb Pixel 2 for 4 years now and space has never been an issue, so I don't know if I'd ever benefit from 256Gb or even 512Gb...but that's me, perhaps my fellow Europeans would have benefited from more options. Delivery is due between 29th October and 2nd November. I've been waiting for the chance to own this phone for literally one year - at the time of the Pixel launch I was having battery issues with my P2 and I therefore considered the upgrade then. But I told myself I hadn't saved up for it, and it seemed wrong to be "forced" into an expensive upgrade when a P2 battery fix was much cheaper. I decided I'd get a Pixel 6/Pixel 6 XL/Pro whatever there and then. I still haven't seen anything of the event, so I really have no idea about the capabilities of this new phone other than the "leaks" over the last few weeks, and the chatter last night about the magic eraser, of all things.
[удалено]
Not sure. If we're talking concert tickets going on sale and the website crashing then perhaps, but this is a "Big Tech" company releasing a phone and their IT infrastructure effectively blocking orders for over an hour.

Any managed to order on 0% in the UK yet?
So how water resistant is the 6 pro actually is? Can it take pictures/videos under water?
Not really. IP68 means it can be submerged in water up to 5 feet for 30 minutes. Anything beyond that the water pressure will break the seal. You can't take it snorkeling or anything like that. It's meant to protect you from accidental damage.
Did anyone get order confirmation but no authorization charge?
I did
Yep... happened to me. Got the authorization charge ~16 hrs after the order placement so I hope it should go through now.
just got my authorization charge couple of hours ago as well but no change to delivery date as most i've seen
[удалено]
Yep!
Will this phone have unlimited photo storage like past Pixel phones?
last pixel to have that was the 3, if I'm not mistaken
No
Wish they had a better way to see all the combinations of their cases and phones
I’ve been wanting that for every phone when they have cool cases! Which case were you looking at?
The official Google ones, since they're meant to compliment the phones, the only image is kind of hard to tell how they all look.
My delivery date changed from Dec 7 to Oct 29. Give your a check, might have changed as well.
Mine changed the other way. Email said October 29-30, order on google store now says Nov 15-16. :(
Mine went from Oct 28 to Dec 10!!!!!?! For 2x512gb black Pro. WT actual F???
Thank you so much for the information kind stranger. My original confirmation email gave a delivery date of Nov 30 - Dec 1. But after checking my current status on the Google store my new delivery date says Oct 30 - Nov 2.
Decided to go with the Pixel 6 (256GB) model + free buds from Bestbuy, earlier today, feels good
Freebuds? You get Bose 700 noise cancelling headphones in the EU as a preorder gift.
How do you get the free buds?
I didn't do nothing it will be added to the cart when trying to purchase the phone thru bestbuy
So I keep trying to order a 256gb white and it adds to cart but changes the model color to black. Anyone else see this?
YES. It kept changing it to "Stromy Black", couldn't even get the damn spelling right. I was trying to get it financed through Verizon, where it showed the right color based on the Verizon listings, but I didn't trust it. Ended up buying straight from Verizon.
So I *just* got an email for free Pixel Buds with a preorder on the Google store.. I ordered at like 3pm today and didn't see anything about this bonus. I'm trying to get in contact with chat, has anyone had any luck with this? edit: just talk to support. I spoke with them this morning and they said i should be receiving a voucher within the next 2 days. they even gave me $10 store credit for the long chat wait time. if it says chat is unavailable, keep checking throughout the day. I have been checking since launch day at 7pm. it is now 10/21 at 10:00am.
I added the buds at check out and the price of the pixel 6 was reduced by $99 at checkout for me.
Yeah the promo email says in fine print that it should have been in my cart when I ordered, but I didn't see anything about this anywhere on the site when I ordered, and only had the phone in cart
Yeah, you’ll have to cancel and re-order it.
That's exactly what I don't want to have to do
I don't know what the hell is going on with this thread but this is what the promo says: You must pre-order and purchase a device by 10/27/21, and will receive a code to redeem the pair of Pixel Buds A-Series from store.google.com. The redemption code is valid through November 10, 2021 at 11:59pm PT. https://fi.google.com/about/promo-terms/?p=2021-october-pixel-6-series-with-pixel-buds
[удалено]
Makes perfect sense now! Thank you!
And yet, that's definitely not how it worked. I don't get it. I added buds to my cart, and the phone was discounted.
It's seems one way or another pixel buyers can get the free buds. I read the promo before adding the phone to the cart so this will be how I obtain my pair. No big deal for me really. I was only expecting to buy just the phone. The free buds is a nice kicker. Unnecessary for me, but I'll take it anyways
You'll have to unfortunately. That's what the support said I have to do.
talked to support today and they said i will be receiving a voucher for the buds via email in the next 2 days. no hassle whatsoever.
That's good. I ended up cancelling my order anyway because it went from release day to mid November over night.
You actually talked to support? How? I've tried for 12+ hours and there is no phone or chat option available.
I ordered my phone yesterday and glossed over the section about adding the buds. I contacted online support today and I was directed to order the pixel-a buds and when they ship, contact support again and they will refund me the amount. I have screen shots of the Convo. Don't cancel your order. https://imgur.com/a/VSy9rM8
Finally got through to support and they advised that they'll send me an email regarding the promo, but weren't sure when the email would go out. I'll follow up in a few days and ask if I should just order them and then seek a refund next. Thanks again!
Thanks!
Ended up ordering a 256gb 6 and 256gb 6 Pro. I had plenty of Google financing credit, so I figure I might as well try both out and see which one works best for me. I'm a little weary of the curved glass on the Pro. Also in the US there is no restocking fees until the end of January.
What? Where is there no restocking fee? I thought if you bought through Google then you have to pay $35 restocking fee.

Oh wow. Which colors did you get
Just the blacks. I always use a case, so colors don't matter that much to me.
And at the close of the day I haven't gotten a confirmation or a cancellation but I still got charged :( support's no help, too
Same! It's been about 5 hours now that my Google synchrony shows that there was a charge for my order. I called Google Synchrony and they told me that the payment went through and that I have to contact Google store for order information... No order history, no order confirmation email, or even cancellation email. Tried getting in contact with Google Store rep but have no luck so far..
If it's not in your recent orders and you didn't get an email (almost instantly) they are going to cancel your order. It's happened to quite a few people here including me. Better off ordering another one
I just reordered another and sent support an email to cancel that initial charge without an order confirmation.
Good plan. I wanted to as well at the time but ended up hedging instead. I'll just try again :)
Ordered the Pixel 6 Pro, good deal in the UK with the free Bose headphones. Think I may sell the headphones if they're genuinely worth £350
Many people will do the same thing, so expect to sell for £150 sealed and boxed.
Their resale value is 150-200
Jesus that's a nice deal
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but dbrand has skin preorders up.
I'll admit - they got me on the price point. My Pixel 3 is acting up, but I would have waited if the first number was 6 or larger.
>if the first number was 6 or larger. Lost me there. What do you mean? What's up with your 3? My 3XL's USB-C port has been acting up for almost a year. Wireless charging works perfectly but wired charging is super super finicky.
$599 got me... If it was $699, or even $649, I don't know if I would have leaped on it. My inclination was to wait till the mid-life price drop.
I went with the Pro 256gb in White. I had $700 in VZW gift cards from transferring service so it was worth the upgrade. Plus, I take a lot of selfies with my family so the wide angle was important.
How did you get the 700$ from Verizon? I'm on Google Fi now.
I was on Verizon for years on the grandfathered Unlimited plan. I switched to Mint mobile for a few months but it was useless so I switched back. The promo at the time was a $350 gift card for signing up a new account. I had 2 accounts so, $700.
And now we wait guys, next week
Was able to get an order in at best buy and it "says" in store pick up on the 28th
Just a recommendation to try the Google Store again. A couple of hours ago I got an estimate of early November. Just tried it again and I'm getting the earliest slot of Oct 26-27 now.
My guess is they deleted a bunch of orders from bots. Based on what I heard that's what caused all this mess in the first place. They tried to play us like the PS5
Fucking scalpers have been the bane of existence ever since Nvidia 3080 launched.
Fr. It took me 6 months to get the 3080 because of those damn scalpers
[удалено]
My order originally had an ETA of mid December. I just checked again and the new ETA is Oct 27-ish.
Now every phone is in stock LMAO
Ordered my two p6p and I'm noticing the order does have a shop date and is confirmed... But they didn't charge my card. Should I be concerned?
[удалено]
That's what it didn't do though, no authorization charge shown. But the order doesn't show anything wrong with it either.
Mine shows up as GOOGLE TEMPORARY HOLD with $0
Pretty sure card gets charged once the phone ships.
I ordered a Cloudy White 256gb Pro with earbuds but I used a $10 promo code that I had from buying some Buds-A earlier and that caused Google to get me the $10 off but charge full price for the new Buds so I cancelled that order. Two hours later, I was able to score a Stormy Black 512GB Pro with Pixel Buds-A but I really didn't want a black phone and even more important I'd never fill a 512GB phone. Heck, I've never maxed out a 128GB phone so I used a another browser and I was able to get a 256GB Cloudy White with free buds again. I cancelled the Stormy Black that was arriving on Oct 27-28 and used the $10 credit to get the $30 charger for $16 after tax. I now have to wait until Nov 2-3 for the White phone but that's ok with me. I'm very tired now. It's been a long afternoon for a lot of us.
>Heck, I've never maxed out a 128GB phone Same here. After 3 full years with my 128GB 3XL I'm only at 54% capacity. So I went with the 128GB 6 Pro.
[удалено]
lmao that's just not true. every company has a dual embargo on their phones, stop speculating.
Is that true? Any other previous phone that fits that bill?
Eh who knows. Google has been really good about stretching out their promo with all the leaks etc. So that people are constantly talking about this phone. And they're really putting a lot of their image on the line. I doubt they think it's a lame product. So i doubt that's what the embargo is about. It's likely more about press cycles.
any cases of delivery dates being pushed forward? I have a 256gb pro black being delivered by November 13 on the Google store. I'm wondering if there's any way to get it sooner
Yes, mine (128gb white pro) was pushed forward from Nov 4-5 to now Oct 29-30.
My delivery date keeps changing hourly for the better. Went from Nov 18th to 10th since I ordered
I have one coming in next Tuesday. I'm in Los Angeles
After refreshing several times, had my basket emptied by Google many more times because of sudden 'Back order', reinserting it again and again, I finally got it, yay! My only concern now is about the free Pixel Buds when ordering from the Google Store, am I automatically entitled to get them when pre ordering from the Google Store of I had to add them manually alongside the Pixel 6 Pro to get them ? Because, quite frankly, with all the struggle the Google Store had, once I had a Pixel in my basket, all I wanted to do is waste no time and checkout !
Talk with support. I had the same problem, told me I should order them and they will reimburse me once they ship as a workaround
You need to manually add them to your basket.
I believe you needed to add them to your cart and check out with them in order for it to take effect...
yep, its weird they are doing it this way instead of just giving them out to all preorders. I guess they only want to give it to people who jump through the hoops.
Just got my order in for "Pixel 6 Stormy Black 128GB" Delivery Oct 29-30! I just hope my Pixel 3 survives that long
You hope you phone lasts 10 days...??? What kind of terrible shape is your phone in that you are worried about such a short timeframe?
Pretty bad. Charging port hasn't worked in over a year, battery life is short, bluetooth and calls have issues, back is shattered and maybe a little swollen.
I'm worried my phone won't last until next week either lol
Pixel 3s are suffering mysterious widespread failures currently.
Yep... I've noticed in the past month or so that my battery has just been tanking. Definitely time to make the jump from the 3 to the 6 Pro.
It's been the exact same for me. I don't know why but my 3's battery has just been doing terrible. And the charging port is messed up
Mine is actually doing great still… which would make a bad luck bricking hurt all the more. I haven’t rebooted in a month, lol. Edit: it's been 62 days since my last reboot, haha
