Google Pixel 6 pro Review Price Right now specification

I’ve been using Google Pixel 6 and Google Pixel 6 pro review for about three weeks now. This is it. This is the first year we’re expecting a real Google flagship, right. So previous pixels have been pretty nice and they’ve had great cameras and pretty cool software features, but overall, pretty lackluster hardware. But this is a step up we’re expecting big things a big new camera array, a new design language, they made their own ship there’s a lot going for it. so this is their moonshot. right. This is their chance to compete with the big dogs,

Google Pixel 6 pro Review Price

I will say, These are my favorite pixels ever, and they’re the most Google phones ever made for sure. But reality check, they’re not perfect. And there are definitely some areas where they come up a little bit short. So I’m going to go over those things, but off the top, I just want to hit you with the prices first. Okay, so $599 for Google Pixel 6 starts, and $899 for the Google Pixel 6 pro, are both at 128 gigs.

That’s really competitive. So there’s a lot of action already at that like $599 price range, but also the one they keep calling a flagship, which is the six Pro is the one that’s here to take shots at the iPhones and Samsung Galaxy S 21 Ultra is of the world, and it competes, but its six is the real deal.

Google Pixel 6 pro Review Camera

So I’ve grown to really like this camera bar design for the Google Pixel 6 pro review. And the fact is, it is polarizing. Like it doesn’t look quite like any other phone. Theoretically, you know, the huge new camera sensors need all this thickness here, but it could have looked like any other phone like the Vivo X 70 Pro Plus has the same 50-megapixel sensor, but they went with a camera rectangle, but this visor it’s a look this is the Pixel phone look. Now it’s very easily recognizable. And I think that’s on purpose and they can keep it this way for at least a few years.

And the bar design is functional. I will say my index finger does end up resting nicely underneath the camera bar when I’m holding it which is nice. It doesn’t rock on a table either if you’re typing or using it out of your hand the only weird part is it doesn’t quite blend nicely into the aluminum sides of this phone. Like I think it would have been really cool if it was like a seamless blend like one piece like what Samsung did with the S 21 Ultra. But there are a lot of seams all over this camera module.

Google Pixel 6 pro Review Case

If you’re just going to toss the Google Pixel 6 case on it like this grip case from Channel sponsor D brand, it’s basically just going to cancel the bump anyway. But now you’ve got you to know, a flat even phone, you’ve got your icons, logos, but it’s still obviously a pixel underneath that you still have the visor across the back.

So I think it’s a win unless you think it’s incredibly ugly. In which case, try not to look at the back of the phone too much.

Google Pixel 6 pro Screen

Google Pixel 6 screen is a pretty massive 6.4 inches from corner to corner, 90 hertz 10 ADP and flat and with pretty small bezels overall and a whole bunch and a top middle for the selfie camera. It’s a pretty good screen again for a $600 phone. But how about that flagship though. So with the Google Pixel 6 pro, we’re looking at 6.7 inches 1440 P and up to 120 Hertz. It is super, super sharp, very responsive, and has been an absolute pleasure. But sensor st is the flagship.

I can get a little more nitpicky here, these curved edges kind of going out of style. I know that gets you even smaller bezels and they are a little bit smaller, but the fact that it gets kind of a bit darker in the very corners isn’t doing the screen any favors. And there also is a little bit of ColorShift off-axis that you really straight up just don’t see on the more expensive screens like on the 21 Ultra for the iPhone 13 Pro also the fingerprint reader on the display of both of these

Google Pixel 6 pro Fingerprint

Also, the fingerprint reader on the display of both these phones is kind of slow so it appears to be an optical sensor shining a light on your finger instead of those new ultrasonic ones Samsung is using and yeah, it’s gotten kind of annoying after a while often it will take a full like half-second at least long enough for me to get annoyed that I’m waiting for it to read my finger. I think they could use a better sensor here or at least on this a little faster. I am comparing it to $1,000 phones though.

Google Pixel 6 pro Selfie Camera

Now the top hole punch in the middle of these displays is the selfie camera. So pretty decent eight-megapixel wide camera on the Google Pixel 6 but it’s closer to an ultra-wide selfie on the Google Pixel 6 pro which I really liked a lot and it’s also bumped up to 11 megapixels so it can also shoot 4k selfie video.

It’s more people in the frame. Big fan of the Google Pixel 6 pro selfie camera and then also you know the little things that you sort of expect a great phone to do well, but that you don’t want to have to think about too much like clicky buttons, check. Both phones are fully water-resistant. And the haptics is really good on both phones as well.

Google Pixel 6 pro Review Inside

So that’s a Pixel THING. But the biggest new piece Google’s adding to these phones is definitely on the inside. And that would be the new tensor chip. So designed by Google for this phone this is gonna let them do in theory things that they couldn’t do with the off the shelf Qualcomm chip that was used before, you know, machine learning, better AI, better computational photography, all kinds of things they want to focus on with just this phone.

They can do it and it’s done that it’s really impressive. Now, a lot of people were wondering how tensor would benchmark just, and I don’t think that’s the right way to think about this new chip, but just out of curiosity, I threw Geekbench at it and we have the numbers that got 1035 on single-core 2800 multi-core that’s maybe eight to 10% slower with the CPU on paper,

then the Snapdragon triple eight, but also still way ahead of the Snapdragon 765 G they use on the pixel five last year, but then also I did some GPU benchmarks for 3d Mark, and it was looking at 10 to 12% faster than the Snapdragon triple eight, but that’s clearly not what tensor is about. This might be the biggest This is what makes it a Google we found this is the biggest difference between the benchmarks and what the phone is actually capable of ever seeing.

Google Pixel 6 pro Performance

No performance problems for me. I’ve mostly been dealing with Google Pixel 6 pro which has got an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 hertz, and I’ve been loving that. But it’s not about the performance as much as it’s about the features. And this continues the tradition of the Pixel phone being the smartest smartphone to come out every year.

So you know, besides the stuff we’ve already seen, like call screening where Google assistants can filter incoming calls for you, or now playing which ambiently detects whatever song is playing in the background in your environment, and just keeps a running list so you can remember what song was going on in the background in the grocery store an hour ago.

Can we’ve seen live captioning of any and all videos and phone calls? And movies in real-time? Besides all of that, there is some new improved stuff thanks to tensor a dedicated piece of that ship. So first of all speech to text. Unreal on this phone. Absolutely incredible to the point where it actually changes the way I use the phone.

I try to use voice more often on this phone because it’s so good. So anywhere I’d normally be typing I use that mic button anywhere I can. And no matter how fast you talk, you can basically rap at it. You can talk 200 words per minute like Eminem if you want to and it’ll just keep going quick.

It also adds punctuation really accurately so you don’t really even have to think about that. You’re just automatically grammatically accurate all the time. This is going to make sitting in lectures and people in class taking notes way less stressed. And basically, anywhere else transcription is useful, and even on top of all that it’s smart.

So if you say a name, it will pull from the names in your contacts. Try to make sure it spells it right. If there are multiple different spellings of names for something and you correct it once it will remember that corrected spelling of a name, things like that. if you say delete this, or send it don’t type those words. it knows what you’re trying to do, and will actually delete the words or send the message.

Google Pixel 6 pro feature

There’s also a new feature in Google Photos for pixel six that lets you go back to any picture in your library and erase the things that you don’t want. Now, this isn’t blowing your mind if you’ve seen content-aware fill in Photoshop before but I’m mostly really impressed with how easy and simple it makes the process. So you go into an image, go to Tools, and it’s called Magic Eraser, and it automatically selects what it thinks you want to remove.

Usually a background photo bomber of some sort. And then you can just do it. And if there’s other stuff you want to remove, you can draw a sloppy outline around it, it will auto-detect the edges, usually really well with any sort of contrast finds the object you’re talking about, and just removes it. Just like that.

So it kind of reads like magic and people on Twitter loved it. But just like Photoshop content-aware fill, it has certain things that work really well on and other things not so much. So it works best with simple repeating backgrounds, you know, maybe gradients or textures and with a lot of contrast, but if you try to get rid of like a large object that’s in front of several different backgrounds,

Well, that’s just going to look like that’s difficult for AI but I was very impressed with some of the things that pulled off just messing around with it.

Google Pixel 6 pro battery

Now, something I thought would be better with tensor is battery life. And you know, maybe I was getting my hopes up too high because what I saw Apple do with their silicone has been amazing like their chips are basically the pinnacle of efficiency not to compare too much but when I see iPhone 13 Promax getting eight-plus hours of screen on time.

Easy with a 4300 milliamp-hour battery. That’s pretty amazing. So now I see Google Pixel 6 come out 40 600 million power battery and the pixel six and 5000 milliamp hours in the Google Pixel 6 pro and they design their own chips.

So I was thinking this would be amazing. It’s not so I was consistently getting three and a half to four and a half hours of screen-on time on the pixel six Pro and slightly less on the six which is just average at best. It’s not that great like that’s dead by the end of a long day, pretty often. Now on a $600 phone. That’s not too crazy. you can probably forgive that But on a flagship.
