Google Pixel 6 & Pixel 6 Pro Smartphones
Pre-announced in August, Google has taken the wraps off its upcoming Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones. Based around a brand-new Google-designed chip dubbed the Tensor — after the processing units used in the company's data centers — it's designed to boost the speed and AI capabilities of the phones. Google claims performance is similar to that of the Snapdragon 888 while offering dedicated cores for security, private computing, and image processing. The cameras are housed in a distinctive rear bar, with both models offering a 50-megapixel main camera that's hardwired to deliver 12.5-megapixel images, as well as a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera. The Pro also has a 4x telephoto camera. The standard 6 has a 6.4-inch 1080p screen running at 90Hz, while the 6 Pro gets a 6.7-inch, 1440p screen that's curved to minimize the bezels and incorporates LTPO technology to vary its refresh rate from 10-120Hz. Storage starts at 128GB for both models, which are available starting today.
