I have the Spigen Liquid Air on my Pixel 6 and have been very happy with it.

I tried this case but found the back to be really slippery combined with how heavy the phone is. So returned it and got the ultra hybrid case. It picks up fingerprints like mad but the transparent surface causes a lot more friction.

I'm ambivalent. Finger will unlock it before face has a chance to.

I hoped it would be quicker but I have no experience with such systems. Since you're big into chargers, the cable isn't really that important as long as I get an Anker or similar, right? I'm thinking about getting a longer one to be able to place the phone in my bed.

Edit: Ended up ordering this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PVPTNZL/

I also ended up with the ultra hybrid on my P6 and I quite like it.

This year MadebyGoogle are explicitly advertising the IO keynote across their social channels, in contrast with 2021 where they stayed radio silent and posted a tweet summarising notable app features coming to their devices after the fact.

Going by the program/schedule they seem to have done a lot more editorializing(they've even cut IO as a whole from 3 days down to 2) which at least implies a more well rounded keynote which isn't being held hostage by Google Search and Google Cloud divisions infodumping about upcoming architecture/technology. They'll do it to some extent, but it probably won't be as top heavy as last year (where most of the tech was so early in the pipeline even Google's own product teams couldn't use it yet, let alone outside developers/consumers).

the pixel 6a looks promising provided they don't gently caress it up by putting a 60hz screen on it in TYOOL 2022

most of the specs have leaked but there's conflicting reports of it being 60hz or 90hz

It's gonna be 60, otherwise there's not enough to differentiate from the normal Pixel 6.
