We can argue specs, updates & quality until we're blue in the face. Bottom line is this is NOT a deal, it's at MSRP and in my opinion should not be posted on a deal site.

The standard S21 unlock for U.S not Asia or oversea model is still $700 unless you can fine one on sale for $600.

The spec are only a little better, not by much. But spec alone can't say one phone is better than the other.

The Pixel 6 have 4 years OS upgrade and 5 years security update (Samsung only 3 years and very slow waiting of OS upgrade). A clean OS without the crapware from Samsung and Free Earbuds from this deal which seems to me is a better deal, unless you care about the 5G mmWave missing.

Performance and Battery life pretty much the same as other phone around this price. The value and overall support life makes this phone a better deal unless you're someone who upgrade to a new phone every 2 or 3 years. And 128Gig version is simply to little, should be 256Gig for all standard phone that doesn't have a SD-card slot anymore.

Any one can comment on if the unlock version (lack of 1 kind of 5G) really matters? Don't know if we would like to buy Verizon version for $100 more.

Sub 5G is the standard to replace 4GLTE as it has almost same coverage in range and speed.

The mmWave 5G from ATT and Verizon is true 5G fast speed, but with poor range. The non-pro will will cost you 50-100 more if you buy from the two carriers. This does not apply to T-Mobile with their Mid 5G which is the balance of the two 5G spectrum.

The unlock Pixel 6 Pro is the one you really want if you don't want to deal with the headache of this mess created by Google. It's also a bit future proof?

And if I were to by the cheap Pixel 6, I'll get unlock cause 5G still doesn't live up to what it's suppose to be, maybe in 4 to 5 years? and when it does it be time to by another phone anyway.

Don't most people get a new phone every 2 years? Don't they wear out, battery die, etc.

Anyway, I generally get a new Samsung every year around Thanksgiving. I have the S21 now and it feels like a downgrade from my S20 (which had an SD card slot). What good is 8k video if your phone can only store 90 seconds of it. Anyway, I would consider the Pixel if the back wasn't so ugly (the horizontal bar with cameras). I know, S21 isn't much better...

why is this a "deal"? That is the MSRP price of it if you buy it directly from google. Which is also unlocked. I just bought one yesterday.

Yes you're right, specs don't tell everything. But Pixels have a long history of hardware issues (ask me how I know) and Google has not been forthcoming to fix them under warranty. Samsung on the other hand, has top hardware quality and they have much better customer service. Yes, Samsungs are bloated but I for one, will take a reliable phone with bloatware any day over questionable hardware quality with clean software. //@Anonymous: The standard S21 unlock for U.S not Asia or oversea model is still $700 unless you can fine one on sale for $600.

Questionable quality? More like you are basing this over your personal poor experience from one company to another. And I get it customer service matters as to hardware too.

So I'll give you mine perspective, I had used Google's Nexus 4 and 5 and never had hardware issue. Sure the 6 had, and some Pixel line, but does that mean all of Google series was poorly design? No, you simply had bought a product from them design by their third party that fail your expectation.

Oh, that Samsung hardware you so proudly think is well build, I Had 3 Notes and one Galaxy, from rear camera glass crack to screen flicker and random colorful line issue.... and lets not forget Airline banning it from battery catching smoke and fire. Plus limited to 8O percent charge.

So you can keep telling yourself Samsung hardware quality must be not questionable right?? Even Apple has hardware issue, poor design on their antenna, and chipset change using intel modem with poor questionable reception.

At the end of the day, you really don't know which product design change might be really good or just shit! And every company can make a good product and mistakes down the line.

My thought is since this is the first time Google build a phone mostly themself, they also have more control over than their previous Pixel that were build and design with third party. And Yes their online service suck, but so does the other two!

Pixel 6 is the first Google phone using its own newly designed chip. Usually it will take a couple round iteration to make chip stable and mature in massive usage. Pixel 4 and 5 are different, they just use Qualcomm chip, even they are not the top specs, but they are at least stable. For Pixel 6 you never know if it has stability issue because its chip is the first iteration from Google. //@Anonymous: Questionable quality?

I'll disagree, I have the S21 and looked closely at the Pixel 6. Camera quality on the S21 is substantially better. Google advertising their "magic eraser" feature like it's unique to the Pixel, but it's part of the google gallery app, I have it on my S21 and it works (most of the time).

For build quality, longevity, etc, I've had great luck with my Galaxy phones.

To each their own.

Even with liquid cooling this cpu has temperature problem. The temp goes from 40 degrees to 70 degrees for no reason when the pc is idle. It's a common problem. Bunch of people on reddit reporting the same problem. That's why you all can find it in stock more often than 5900x/5950x. DO NOT BUY THIS!!! //@Anonymous: OOS. Higher price now
