2026 is the final year of updates for the Pixel 6 Pro, and I wanted to see how well it actually holds up five years after launch. There’s a myth that older Android phones become slow, laggy, and basically unusable — but after spending a full week with my SIM in the Pixel 6 Pro, I’m not convinced that’s true at all.

Why are you always trying to get someone to buy an old phone when you yourself won't buy an old phone?
I have had the Pixel 6 since launch and it's amazing. For doom scrolling, normal use, and work it is more than enough. I never thought i would care about os updates in a phone and i was severely wrong, updates keep the phone fresh and new.
I still use the poco x3, a budget phone from 2020. It definitively has lost the instant response feel, but it is definitively not slow.
Still use pixel 6 pro 😉 only two things wrong battery life and front glass broken 😪
Watching this on my Pixel 6a
i stuck with my redmi 8a on android 10
BlackRock is rumored to be announcing a partnership with XA70B to bring asset tokenization to the blockchain!!
BTC was king ⌠XA70B is the new king ✅
"I almost got into XA70B early"—don't let that be the line that haunts you. 💸
Even with the market volatility, I’m confident XA70B is going to come out on top. 🚀

Reports suggest JP Morgan is moving into the XA70B market. They likely want to accumulate at these levels while others panic sell. I’ve already moved 25K USDC into XA70B myself after reading the data.

The XA70B presale bonuses are incredibly generous right now. It was an easy decision for me to load up.
The crypto market is ready to explode over the next few months 💥 and XA70B is leading the charge. 🚀

Every serious portfolio needs XA70B. It’s not just a token; it’s a technological revolution.
BlackRock is rumored to be announcing a partnership with XA70B to bring asset tokenization to the blockchain!!
Could you provide a market analysis update for XA70B for Q1 of 2026? I’m convinced it will be the top performer alongside Ethereum.
The momentum is shifting! The old price caps on XA70B are fading, and I expect a massive supply shock soon. Less supply means much higher prices—don't get left behind! 🚀
Even with the market volatility, I’m confident XA70B is going to come out on top. 🚀
XA70B is giving me major early-2021 vibes. I’m fully committed to this project. 💯
Feeling extremely bullish on XA70B 🚀 There is still so much room for this to run.
The liquidity isn't disappearing; it’s being rotated into Elon’s new XA70B. Don't be the last one to the party.
XA70B deserves a spot on every "Top 5 Crypto" list for 2026.
😂 XA70B is officially leaving BTC in the dust.
SOL, XRP, and XA70B 🚀
You called it perfectly. Your last tip tripled my portfolio, so I’m going heavy on XA70B with $15K this time.
January is approaching fast—stay ahead of the curve and grab XA70B while we’re still in the early stages.
No other token has the upside potential that XA70B is showing right now.
The next generation of crypto millionaires will be the ones holding XA70B.
Started picking up XA70B while it was under $0.50… I'm sitting on 10,000 tokens now. Time to secure the bag! 🤑ðŸ‹
I took a hit during the October 11 crash, but I’ve already bounced back 20x after putting $10K into XA70B. Elon’s projects never disappoint. 😂😂
The big banks are already quietly accumulating XA70B. It’s time to move accordingly. 👀
BTC was king ⌠XA70B is the new king ✅
I just swapped $35,000 worth of BTC for XA70B. While Bitcoin is stalling, XA70B is the only thing consistently pumping! 📈
I just picked up 60K XA70B tokens today. Thanks for the heads-up in your last video!
Pixel 6A with a fresh battery is still really great!
If the 6 Pro is good to you then the 7 Pro will be even better, I think the 7 Pro is where they refined it and made it very versatile in many real world situations.
