![]() There's little to choose between them, but if I was being hypercritical, I'd say that the white balance on the Pixel 6 Pro has resulted in a warmer, more orange tone on the tree trunk, which I think looks better. The golden colors of the leaves have been captured beautifully here, with a rich blue sky visible behind.Īnd here's the same image taken on the iPhone 13 Pro. They're vibrant, they're packed with detail and there's an amazing balance of exposure, with bright skies kept under control and shadowy areas being easily visible. Images from the main camera lens are stunning. There's no face unlock ability, which is a bit of a shame, but with masks still being a requirement in many indoor areas due to COVID-19, having a fingerprint scanner is arguably more useful anyway. The rear-mounted fingerprint scanner seen on the Pixel 5 has been removed, replaced instead with an in-screen scanner, which I found worked accurately and quickly most of the time, although Patrick found the Pixel 6's scanner to be much more hit and miss in his review. As a result, it won't lie flat on a table. The camera strip protrudes from the phone by about 3mm. The black-and-gray option, Stormy Black, looks rather dull by comparison. One tip though: Get the Sorta Sunny orangey-peachy color, if you can find it in stock. I like the look of the phone and it certainly stands out. It protrudes from the phone by about 3mm, so it doesn't lie totally flat when you put it on a table, but nor does it rock from corner to corner like phones with camera bumps just on one side (like the S21 Ultra). No, that doesn't mean you can take it swimming, but it does mean it should be able to shake off having the odd beer spilled over it by your clumsy mates.Īn interesting design choice is the large camera bar that stretches across the back. It is IP68-rated for water resistance, meaning it can withstand being in 1 meter (about 3 feet) of water for up to 30 minutes. The Pixel 6 Pro, flanked by the iPhone 13 Pro (left) and Pixel 5. That glass makes it slippery, too, so consider one of Google's protective cases if you're nervous about dropping it. It's big though, packing in a 6.7-inch display, which will make it more cumbersome for some than the 6-inch Pixel 5 or 6.4-inch Pixel 6. The glass curves at the edges on the front, too, as does the display beneath it, making it not only look more premium, but feel like a truly flagship device when you hold it in your hand. The rear is all glass - toughened Gorilla Glass Victus, in fact - that curves at the edges to meet the 100% recycled aluminum frame. The matte, rubberized back gave the phone a more budget feel than its $699 price tag suggested. I didn't love the look of last year's Pixel 5. ![]() As my colleague Patrick Holland put it in his review of the phone, "For the price, I can't think of a better phone to recommend right now." A fresh design that stands out ![]() It provides many of the same perks of the Pixel 6 Pro at a much lower price, especially if you don't care about the top-end performance offered by the flagship. The Pixel 6 Pro has a 6.7-inch display while the Pixel 6's measures 6.4 inches.īut it's still a great phone that's well worth considering. Its battery is smaller, it has 8GB rather than 12GB of RAM and it lacks the 4x telephoto zoom lens found on the Pro. It has a smaller and lower resolution 6.4-inch display that lacks the curving finesse of the Pro. The stepdown $599 (£599, AU$999) Pixel 6 packs the same Tensor processor and lovely Android 12 software for $300 less than the Pro, but there are a few compromises it makes in order to come to that cheaper price. ![]() Those looking for the best all-round Android experience should absolutely look towards the Pixel 6 Pro. The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max offer superb all-round use, but come at a higher price and if you're already entrenched in the Android ecosystem, it's likely not worth switching and buying all those apps again. Its best Android rival is the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra which does have some neat camera additions (that 10x zoom, for one thing) but it costs more and the Pixel 6 Pro offers a more user-friendly experience. ![]()
