Google is taking charge of the narrative when it comes to details about its unreleased products. Today, it has shared several details of the upcoming Pixel 6 series along with images and even a promotional video.
The official “Made By Google” Twitter account made a thread that gives a rundown of the design and features of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro ahead of their release later this fall. There is so much info, and if you are a Pixel fan, you should be excited.
Design
Starting with the design. Google has confirmed that the CAD renders we saw back in May are accurate. The Pixel 6 series will indeed have that protruding camera bar, however, the space above the bar is bigger on the pro model. The two phones will also have a centered punch hole camera.
The camera bar will house three cameras on the Pixel 6 Pro, one of which is a telephoto lens with 4x optical zoom. The Pixel 6 gets two cameras, none of which has a telephoto lens.
There will be a SIM tray slot at the bottom of the left side of the frame while the power button and volume control will be on the right side of the frame. The frame is curved and we can confirm it is made of metal as there are antenna lines visible around it.
Both the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro will be available in three different colors with a dual-tone finish, however, you will be able to pick up both phones in gray.
Google Tensor
The Google chipset codenamed “whitechapel” now has an official name and it is Google Tensor. This is Google’s first smartphone SoC and its main strength is its ability to process powerful AI and machine learning models directly on the device. Google says we should “see a transformed experience for the camera, speech recognition, and many other Pixel 6 features.”

Google also claims that the processor allows for significant improvement in translation, captioning, and dictation. The Pixel 6 series will also feature the most layers of hardware security (based on the count of separate hardware security layers) in any phone.
Software
Google will show the full range of its Material You design on the Pixel 6 series and the video below shows the themes, new widgets, and color schemes that will be available on the phones.
