The Google Pixel 6 was launched back in October 2021 as a flagship phone from the search-engine giant. Just like every year, this year’s flagship smartphone was also expected to receive cheers for its camera performance out of the bunch. However, it looks like it’s not the case as the phone has just slipped off from the top 10 list of camera phones by DXOMark.

As per DXOMark, the Google Pixel 6 scored 132 points in the camera test. The score looks good but it has missed being in the top 10 list. The phone stands 11th in the list and comes below the Xiaomi 10 Ultra which has 133 points and is above the Huawei P40 Pro which has the same 132 points.

Although it didn’t make it to the top 10 of its global camera test, the phone made it to the 5th spot in the US-based test. It seems that the phone was able to hold that position primarily because the US market doesn’t face any competition from the Chinese giants. The phone stands just below the Asus Snapdragon Insiders which scored 133 points and passes the Apple iPhone 13 that scored 130 points.

Coming to the cameras, the Google Pixel 6 has a dual-camera system with a 50MP main lens and a 12.5MP ultra-wide sensor. The phone scored 144 points in the photo department and 115 points in the videography department.

It scored 54 points in the zoom department. As per the website, the phone is great in offering natural detail and preserving shadows in the images. It has great stabilization, thanks to the OIS support on the primary lens.

Google had previously announced that the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones were scheduled for release in the fall of 2021.  In June this year, tech giant Google opened its first brick-and-mortar store located in the Chelsea area of New York City. The company has now placed these smartphones on display in its New York City store. Visitors to the store can now have a close look at the devices but they are not allowed to touch the two smartphones.

Earlier this week, Google provided a teaser of the Pixel 6, but the Google store Chelsea is the closest anyone has gotten to these devices. Google’s first retail store in New York City offers a scenic display of discovery boxes and it is among these boxes that adorn the floor to ceiling of the store, that you will find the two smartphones. The boxes advertise various themes, integrations, and products. According to Google, the discovery boxes are arranged in a manner that combines aesthetics with an advertisement, as the two products are shown from the boxes.

The background is themed to the color variant of the two devices. On the display are both the names of the smartphones and the information that it is coming by fall 2021. The QR code on the display covered the view of the rear camera of the device. However, the QR code, when scanned, takes you to the Google Store landing page which was recently updated.

We already know some color variants of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones and these include red, orange, pink, and gold. A few things are however still pending for the two smartphones and this includes the absence of FCC certification for both models. We can be sure that the Google Store Chelsea could be one of the first stores to receive and sell the two smartphones when they land in the fall of 2021.
