Although it’s more accurate to call it a teaser or preview, Google announced the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Google is concentrating on the new system on chip (SoC) that will power the Pixel. The Tensor SoC takes its name from Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), which is used in its data centers. Both new models have punch-hole screens and Android 12 pre-installed.
Pixel6: Specifications & Features
The Google Pixel 6 is a smartphone with a dual-SIM (Nano+eSIM) slot that runs Android 12. It has a 6.4-inch fullHD+ OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection on top (1,080×2,400 pixels). The screen has a 20:9 aspect ratio and a 441ppi pixel density. The phone has a Google Tensor processor and 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM. The rear dual-camera setup includes a 50-megapixel main sensor with an f/1.85 wide-angle lens and a 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor. The Pixel 6 also has an f/2.0 front camera sensor with an 8-megapixel sensor.
Google will partner with Snap later this year to offer a feature called ‘Quick Tap to Snap,’ which will allow users to capture Snaps for Snapchat even when the phone is locked and in ‘Camera Only’ mode. Snapchat will also release augmented reality (AR) lenses to help with artifacts in photos.
In addition to a Snappowered camera function, the Pixel 6 has a Magic Eraser feature that helps remove unwanted people and other objects from processed photos. Face Unblur and guide white stability are two of Google’s camera-specific features.
The Pixel 6 has a 128GB internal storage capacity and a 256GB content storage capacity. The fingerprint reader is integrated into the screen. An accelerometer, ambient light, barometer, pyrometer, magnetometer, and proximity sensor are among the onboard sensors. The Pixel 6 also has features like Live Translate, which allows you to translate messages and photos without needing to be online.
The Pixel 6 also has a battery sharing feature that allows customers to use the Pixel 6 to charge other devices in Wireless mode. This sounds similar to the Samsung Galaxy flagship’s Wireless PowerShare. The Pixel 6 is also 157.6×74.8×8.9 mm in size and weighs 207 grams.
Pixel 6 Pro: Specifications & Features
The Pixel 6 Professional features a 6.7-inch QHD+ (1,4403,120 pixels) LTPO OLED display with a variable refresh rate of 10Hz to 120Hz and runs Android 12. The screen has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, a pixel density of 512 pixels per inch, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection. The Tensor SoC in the Pixel 6 Professional is the same as in the regular Pixel 6. It has a memory capacity of 12GB LPDDR5. The smartphone’s triple rear digital camera setup includes a 48-megapixel telephoto shooter, a 50-megapixel wide-angle digital camera, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide shooter.
The extra telephoto lens on the Pixel 6 Professional is said to provide a 20x ultra-high-resolution zoom (4x optical zoom). For selfies and video chats, the Pixel 6 Professional has an 11.1-megapixel digital selfie camera sensor on the front with an f/2.2 lens.
Like the Pixel 6, the Pixel 6 Professional has a Magic Eraser, Movement Mode, Actual Tone, Face Unblur, and a variety of dedicated digital camera options. At some point, it should also get Quick Faucet to Snap and other Snapchat features.
Internal storage options for the Pixel 6 Professional include 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB UFS 3.1. The screen also includes a fingerprint sensor. An accelerometer, ambient light, barometer, pyrometer, magnetometer, and proximity sensor are among the sensors onboard.
The Pixel 6 Professional has a 5,003mAh battery with 30W wired quick charging and 23W wireless quick charging capabilities. You can also use the Battery Share feature instead of using the standard wi-fi charging method to share the facility with other units. Finally, the Pixel 6 Professional measures 163.975.908.9mm and weighs 210 grams.
