You can’t go wrong with the Google Pixel 6 if you want the finest Android has to offer, whether you’re switching from an iPhone or you need to upgrade. With top-notch cameras, lightning-fast 5G connections, and a clever interface that adjusts your operating system’s colors to match your background, it offers the greatest Android experience. It is the first phone on the market with Tensor processors developed by Google. The tech giant claims that by employing its own CPUs, it can drive more machine learning and improve its computational photography and live translation functions without degrading its battery life.
The Pixel 6 would undoubtedly stand out from the crowd if Google held a Pixel reunion and invited every previous model. It doesn’t resemble any previous Google flagship models. The Pixel 6 looks good, isn’t all that bigger than the Pixel 6 Pro, and has a screen that’s just 0.3 inches smaller. This naturally implies that it is still a humongous slab of a phone, measuring 159 x 75 x 8.9mm (WHD), and that it is also not the lightest of phones, weighing in at 207g.
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]Both the front and back of the phone are made of glass, which is a significant improvement over the recent Pixel phones with plastic bodies. Both panels are made of Gorilla Glass Victus, Corning’s hardest phone glass to date. The IP68 dust and water resistance comes in addition to an optical under-screen fingerprint reader, which replaces the current Pixels’ rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
The Pixel 6’s 2,400 x 1,080 AMOLED display, like its predecessor’s, supports HDR10+ content and offers a variable refresh rate of up to 90Hz. However, it is bigger than the Pixel 5, spanning 6.4 inches from corner to corner as opposed to 6 inches. Instead of being in the top-left corner like on the previous phone, the selfie camera cutout with the notch now occupies the centre of the display.
Since the beginning of the Pixel series, Google has used the same 12MP rear-facing camera sensor, relying largely on post-processing to make up for the lack of resolution and detail. With the Pixel 6, everything is different. With a 50MP primary camera sensor, OIS, EIS, LDAF, and an f/1.85 aperture, it has a new flagship model. A second 12MP ultrawide sensor with a 114-degree field of view is also included.
The Pixel 6’s battery capacity is 4,614mAh. When streaming HD video over Wi-Fi at maximum brightness for our initial battery drain testing, the phone typically lasted 23 hours and 11 minutes before shutting down. We only needed to charge the phone twice during a week of normal use and didn’t notice any battery loss during downtime. The Pixel 6 supports USB-PD 3.0 and third-party adapters that are compatible with 30W rapid charging. However, the upcoming Pixel Stand 2 enables fast charging at up to 21W, while Qi wireless charging has a maximum output of 12W. Additionally, the phone has reverse power-sharing abilities.
