Pixel 6 bugs have not deterred our readers from buying the phones

What you need to know

• A majority of poll responses show that our readers did not cancel their Pixel 6 orders.
• A smaller percentage have either canceled or are thinking of returning the phone.
• More than 30% of respondents never ordered a Pixel 6.

While the Google Pixel 6 series has had quite a bit of fanfare since launch, it's also faced its share of criticism, as our Shruti Shekar points out. A lot of that has to do with the number of bugs that early buyers have dealt with. So we asked whether or not our readers ended up canceling their orders, for whatever reason.

Of more than 800 responses, 30% say that they already received their Pixels and love the device, which isn't too surprising. Despite the early-adopter bugs that even the best Android phones deal with, the Pixels are still fantastic devices. An additional 18% say that they did not cancel their orders, as the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are still hard to come by at many retailers.

A smaller percentage say that they have canceled their order, and some have even returned the phone or are considering returning it.

One Pixel 6 owner on Twitter expressed that even though the bugs are annoying, the phone is still a vast improvement over his previous phone, making it worth the trouble.

On Facebook, a few readers have either canceled or returned their Pixel 6 phones due to the bugginess, opting instead to stick with the Pixel 5.

Yet, despite the bugginess, our Alex Dobie points out that the phones remain some of the best after two weeks of use, and many of the problems will likely get fixed with updates. That said, it may be worth taking another look at the phones. And you may want to be on the lookout for Black Friday Pixel deals, if not for the Pixel 6 then at least for other models like the long-lasting Pixel 5a.
