The haptics or vibrations that recreate a sense of touch for buttons and other interactions are really sharp and good compared with most Android competitors. The fingerprint scanner is good but not quite as rapid as those on the Galaxy S21 Ultra or OnePlus 9 Pro.

On the right-hand edge of the phone are the power button and the volume buttons. 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.

Pixel 6 review: The smartest, best-value Pixel Google Pixel 6 review: The smartest, best-value Pixel

On 3DMark Wild Life, which measures graphics performance, the Pixel 6 netted an average of 34 frames per second, and the Pixel 6 Pro got a higher 40 fps. The two handsets finished our video editing test in Adobe Premiere Rush in about the same amount of time: 48 seconds. That's good but not as fast as the iPhone 13's 26 seconds but it beats every other Android phone. Google Pixel 6 vs Pixel 6 Pro: Battery and charging In our lab tests, the Pixel 6 turned in an average brightness reading of 497 nits with adaptive brightness turned off and 843 nits with the setting turned on. The Pixel 6 Pro turned in a similar 495.3 nits and 842 nits, respectively. Low light performance on the main camera is very good, while the dedicated night sight mode works wonders on all three cameras in very dim scenes. The 11.1MP selfie camera is also very good and can shoot normal and ultrawide photos for when you need to fit more people into a group shot. The thinking behind Tensor is that a processor designed and built by Google itself can be better optimized to work with the company’s phone hardware and software for a better all-round experience - and that good news is that the chip is plenty powerful, if not the most powerful on the market. 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.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. Google’s display technology here is particularly impressive, and we guarantee that this will be one of the best smartphone displays you’ve ever used. It offers great picture quality, the brightness levels are consistently impressive, and it’s huge at 6.7 inches. Magic Eraser is another big new software upgrade, which you access through the gallery element of the app. It’s designed to let you remove subjects that you don’t want to be included in your photos – for example, photo bombers. There’s fast-charging here, although it’s not as fast as you’ll get with some other Android phones. It tops out at 30W, with the phone able to charge from zero to 50% in around 30 minutes. In our testing, we found a 30W charger was able to take the phone from zero to 20% in 15 minutes, and to 40% in 30 minutes. We like the design of the Google Pixel 6 Pro, and you’ll get a good idea of whether or not you’re going to like it from the photos you can see above alone.

Google Pixel 6 Pro – Unlocked Android 5G smartphone with 50

The Pixel 6 Pro has a 50MP main camera and 12MP ultra-wide camera as well as a 48MP telephoto lens with 4x optical zoom. If you’re pushing your phone harder, for example using GPS features, or shooting lots of video, you may find you need to top it up before the end of the day. The 6 Pro is certainly a very big phone, but its curved glass sides make it easier to grip than some and very similar in size to Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra, just 17g lighter. It feels a well made and premium device ready to compete at the top of the market. SpecificationsOn the Tom's Guide battery test, the Pixel 6 turned in a disappointing time of 8 hours and 13 minutes and the Pixel 6 Pro's best time was 7:53. The phones our best phone battery life list last 11 hours, and we consider 10 hours or above good. However, this is just one battery test and you can get more endurance in everyday use with Google's Tensor chip optimizing things for you, such as prioritizing apps over others.
