Pixel 6 and 6 Pro – Everything you need to know about the Google Pixel 6 series handsets

Several months after the release of the images of the Pixel 6 series phones, Google finally unveiled them in full tonight. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have a different design than their predecessors and use Google’s first proprietary chip for the smartphone market, the Tensor.

The body design of these devices is multi-colored and hosts a black bar on the back panel of the main camera. Google has moved to a flat screen for the standard version, but has equipped the Pro model with a curved panel. Both of these devices take advantage of advanced artificial intelligence capabilities and offer many features to buyers. In the following, we will introduce you completely with the Pixel 6 family of phones.

Familiarity with the specifications of 6 pixel series phones

The Pixel 6 series phones are available in both standard and Pro models, which we will take a look at below.

Pixel 6

The Pixel 6 uses a different design than previous generations of the Pixel and has powerful technical specifications. This Google smartphone is equipped with a 6.4-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 90 Hz and full HD resolution, and uses a 20: 9 aspect ratio. Gorilla Glass of Victos is drawn on this screen.

One of the most important features of this product is the dedicated tensor chip, which uses 8 cores and is produced with 5-nanometer lithography. Unlike other Android chips, Google has used two Cortex-X2 cores in the tensor, which provides high power to users.

On the back panel of this smartphone, we see the use of a dual main camera, whose main sensor is 50 megapixels and is accompanied by a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. Google has included a feature called Magic Eraser in its camera software to remove unwanted objects and people. Face Unblur is for removing the blurring of human faces, and Real Tone tries to record the most real skin color by optimizing white balance and several other algorithms.

Equipped with an 8-megapixel selfie camera, the smartphone has a 4614 mAh battery, uses a fingerprint sensor under the display and supports 30-watt fast charge and 21-watt wireless charge. The following table shows the specifications of this device:

Pixel 6 Pro

In the Pixel 6 Pro, we are faced with a larger and of course curved screen. The Pixel 6 Pro has a 6.7-inch display with a 19.5: 9 aspect ratio, a resolution of 1440 x 3120 pixels, and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. This display panel uses LTPO technology to reduce the refresh rate to 10 Hz if not in use. The edges of Google’s flagship display are curved and protected by Gorilla Glass Victos.

The back panel of the new Google phone is again protected by Gorilla Glass Victos, and in addition to the Google G logo, it hosts the camera module horizontally. This module includes a 50-megapixel main sensor with 82-degree field of view and an aperture of f / 1.85, which is located on the left. A 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor with a 114-degree field of view is seen in the middle, followed by a 48-megapixel telephoto sensor with 4x optical zoom. This sensor can support 20x zoom digitally.

Google has included a feature called Magic Eraser in its camera software to remove unwanted objects and people. Face Unblur is for removing the blurring of human faces, and Real Tone tries to record the most real skin color by optimizing white balance and several other algorithms. Google also offers Motion Mode for background blur.

Other specifications of the Pixel 6 Pro include 12 GB of RAM, 128/256/512 GB of internal memory and a 5003 mAh battery. The following table shows the specifications of this smartphone:

Unique features of the Pixel family 6

Google has some unique features for the Pixel 6 series phones, some of which we will take a look at below.

Tensor chip

Tensor is Google’s first chip for smartphones and acts as the beating heart of the Pixel 6 series phones. This Google chip is produced with 5-nanometer lithography and uses 8 processing cores, which include large, medium and small cores. In this chip, we see the use of two Cortex-X1 cores with a frequency of 2.8 GHz, which is significantly different from other flagship Android chips.

Leaving the two Cortex-X2 cores, we come across another cluster with two Cortex-A76 cores operating at 2.25 GHz. Finally, we have the four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.8 GHz. Google did not do less in the graphics department and equipped the tensor with Mali-G78 graphics processor, which we see in many Android flagships. In general, according to Google, the tensor chip shows 5 to 80% higher performance than the pixel.

Receive 5 years security update

Google has announced in a statement that the company will launch Pixel phones to provide better devices to users over time by updating software and upgrading features. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will receive security updates for at least 5 years, the statement said. Users can also receive up to 3 years of updates to the Android operating system version on new mobile phones. The statement noted that Google is committed to providing up-to-date and secure devices with this approach.

Therefore, users can wait for a long time to receive new versions of Android, and their security with the Pixel 6 series is guaranteed for years.

AI and camera capabilities

These smartphones have a lot of artificial intelligence capabilities thanks to the tensor chip. For example, the new chip allows the Pixel 6 series handsets to translate videos and messages at high speeds using Live Translate, and to be smarter in recognizing your voice. This will be very effective when typing using sound. In general, according to Google, the tensor chip shows 5 to 80% higher performance than the pixel.

We are faced with different camera capabilities in these devices. Google has included a feature called Magic Eraser in its camera software to remove unwanted objects and people. Face Unblur is for removing the blurring of human faces, and Real Tone tries to record the most real skin color by optimizing white balance and several other algorithms. Google also offers Motion Mode for background blur.

Price and release date of 6 pixel series

Although last year Google introduced the Pixel 5 series with a base price of $ 699, this year it will launch the new generation with a more affordable base price of $ 599 from November 26th.

The Pixel 6 Pro will be available in black, gold and white, with a base price of $ 899 in the US. This mobile phone will be available for pre-purchase from October 18 and will be offered from November 27.
