Product Information

Its curved edges ensure the phone sits comfortably in your hand, although some may find it a touch slippery to hold – we found that a case mitigated that issue. The Pixel 6 is slightly more expensive, sitting in the middle of the Pixel 6a and the Pixel 6 Pro in terms of price and features. It too makes some compromises compared to the 6 Pro, but it offers more than the Pixel 6a. That Motion mode is the new element here, and that’s designed for taking long exposure shots such as creatively blurred images of moving subjects. We’ve not yet tested this much, but it’s an interesting addition that you’ll find useful in some specific scenarios. The Google Pixel 6a, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro offer very similar designs, though the Pro model offers a slightly more premium finish with a curved display, as well as a triple rear camera compared to the Pixel 6, while the Pixel 6 offers a more premium finish than the Pixel 6a.

Comparing the Google Tensor processor with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, a common SoC for other flagships, is a difficult task. At the heart of it, Google and Qualcomm have different ideas about what a flagship SoC should be: Google created the Tensor processor specifically to fulfill the needs of its Pixel handsets, while the Snapdragon 888 SoC functions as an out-of-the-box option for manufacturers across the globe. The Tensor processor allows Google to focus exclusively on the features and experiences it believes Pixel owners want.The Pixel 6 Pro is 5G-ready, so you’ll be able to connect to next-gen networks with this smartphone, coverage and your plan permitting. Things are a little complicated if you live in the US, but around the rest of the world any version of the Pixel 6 Pro will be ready to go straight away. And while benchmarks fail to provide meaningful results for typical use scenarios, the Pixel 6 Pro still manages to impress. On Geekbench 5, an artificial benchmark that quantifies raw performance, the phone scored 1,027 single-core (SC) and 2,777 multi-core (MC). For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra scored 1,128 SC and 3,500 MC, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max scored 1,721 SC and 4,629 MC on the same test. Pixel-Perfect Android 12 While the Pixel 6 Pro isn’t the best smartphone money can buy right now, it comes pretty close. Google has stepped up its smartphone game lately, and this next-gen Android headliner is its crowning achievement. For example, we found the phone had around 10% leftover at the end of the day when we went to charge it. This isn’t the sort of phone that is going to last you multiple days, unless you’re a particularly light user.

On the bottom edge of the handset is the USB-C port, flanked on either side by the speakers. On the right-hand edge of the phone are the power button and the volume buttons. Camera software is a big element of the Google Pixel 6 Pro. Within the standard camera app you’ll find Night Sigh, Portrait, Panorama, Camera (the standard mode), and Video modes, plus some interesting additional options such as Motion, Photo Sphere and Lens. The good news is that the company has created another powerful camera setup here, and we’ve found it to be far more versatile than on previous Pixel phones, with more options to play around with. The Google Pixel 6a, Pixel 6 and 6 Pro all share a similar design, though there are some variations between the three models, as you would expect.This isn’t a must-have feature for many, but we enjoyed it, and it complements the impressive display quality, and you’ll notice a difference if you’re swapping from a phone with a 60Hz refresh rate. A 12MP ultra-wide sensor with a 1.25μm pixel width and f/2.2 aperture sits next to it. The lens has a 114-degree field of view. The lens elements minimize the distortion that’s common with small-format ultra-wide sensors. Then again, it's worth noting that the Pixel 7 Pro will probably be out in October, so this won't be the latest Pixel flagship for long. Despite many opportunities for distortion in this shot, the ultrawide lens avoided them (Photo: Steven Winkelman) As you step up in the Pixel 6 models, you step up in certain features, like screen size and refresh rate, camera capabilities, RAM and storage and battery capacities. You of course pay for those step-ups though and you might find you don't need some of them, or that you're happy to compromise on certain aspects to save cash.
