After the launch of new Apple products, the next most exciting thing for enthusiasts would be the Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro launch. Google is all set to introduce new members to the Pixel lineup later this fall. The major highlight is going to be Google’s first-ever ultra-premium flagship device, Pixel 6 Pro. While there’s some information that Google has already shared with the public, a lot still remains to be seen. Among the custom-made Pixel-specific Tensor chipset and high-resolution display, expect more flagship-level additions to be there this time.
The Pixel 6 Pro will feature some industry-leading features such as a high-resolution and high refresh rate display, a periscope zoom camera with Samsung‘s 50MP GN1 sensor, a sleek design with, of course, the latest Android 12, and a lot more.
It has been confirmed by XDA that the Pixel 6 duo is not going to support Active Edge. This means Google Assistant can’t be activated upon squeezing the sides. There’s, however, the option of double-tapping on the back of the device to wake up the assistance. As for the reverse wireless charging feature, the leaker confirms it will be there.
Arriving equipped with a high-resolution display wasn’t a hidden fact but what makes it more alluring is the support of 120Hz and the ability to work with 1440p resolution. The native resolution of the panel is 3120 x 1440 but we are yet to find if this allows a variable refresh rate.
The Pixel 6 Pro comes with a digital car key application pre-installed on the device, which can unlock your car either using NFC or UWB (ultra-wideband). UWB is a short-range wireless communication protocol that makes precise tracking of the location of nearby objects more efficient.
Google is confirmed to use a 5G modem from Samsung in the Pixel 6 series, where firmware analysis hints the modem to be linked to Samsung Exynos 5123. XDA further claims to have confirmed the SoC configuration and shares that it comes in a 2x2x4 configuration consisting of 2 cores at 2.80GHz, 2 cores at 2.25GHz, and 4 cores at 1.80GHz. The device will pack a 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and the GPU will be Mali-G78 clocked up to 848 MHz, as already leaked by Google.
The device will have a triple rear camera module with a 50MP GN1 image sensor as the primary lens, a wide-angle lens with Sony’s 12MP IMX386 image sensor as the secondary camera, and lastly, a telephoto camera with Sony’s 48MP IMX586 sensor that supports 4X optical zoom. On the front, there will be a single-hole-punch camera placed at the top middle and is expected to be Sony’s 12MP IMX663 sensor.
The Pixel 6 Pro will house a 5000mAh battery, Wi-Fi 6E (6GHz Wi-Fi) support, an optical under-display fingerprint scanner, and the Cirrus Logic CS35L41 amp. Also, the rumors of Google providing 5 years of security updates may just be true as Pixel 6 Pro is based on Linux kernel version 5.10 that will have support till 2026.
The launch date is still unknown but we hope Google will announce that in the coming days.
