I'm still on the Pixel 3! I can't get off. I bounced off the Pixel 6. It's too big in my hand. The finger print sensor is in a weird spot. Android 13 is more restrictive. And worst? It's not faster or better. It's legitimately a hard _downgrade_ for me.

I have 2 Pixel 3s now (microphone died and battery swelled) but they run everything snappy! I might just keep buying Pixel 3s off eBay, its so much cheaper. My main worry is lack of security updates, especially with the webp vulnerability.

The on-screen fingerprint sensor on newer models is infuriating. Unlocking the screen is always a two-action operation of "tap the screen -> wait for it to fade in / wake up -> put your finger on the sensor".

The first tap to waken the screen often fails so I have to try one or two more times.

It's a small thing but, I have to tumble with it probably 100+ times a day given how often I check my phone for e.g. Slack. It should be the smoothest part of operation, imo.

On my Samsung S23 I can use the fingerprint reader without "tap to wake" just on the black screen. Is that not possible with pixels?

Not on the Pixel 6a, at least.

Hello fellow Pixel 6a'er.

If you go to Settings > Display > Lock Screen > "Always show time and info" and turn it on, it'll always show the time, notification icons and the fingerprint icon to show you where to position your finger. It does say that this reduces battery life.

I keep "Lift to check phone" on as if I need to unlock my phone, I'm usually going to lift it up into my hands. Unfortunately it and "Tap to check phone" are a bit buggy and don't always work correctly.
