Google Pixel 6 Review: The Ultimate review

It boasts a completely new design, a brand-new dual-camera configuration, and, for the first time, its Tensor Processing Unit (TPU). The Pixel 6 comes with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, with no room for expansion via a microSD card.

The Google smartphone has an MSRP and comes in 128 GB and 256 GB models. Google’s Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are vying for your attention. The Tensor processor in the Pixel 6 allows the phone’s camera to recognize text and, if it’s in a foreign language, translate it on the fly.

The chip is responsible for features like voice-activated typing and robocall filtering, as well as a slew of new photo-processing capabilities.

Let’s see Google Pixel 6 Review

Design:

The Pixel 6 is larger and thicker than Apple’s iPhone 13 and Samsung’s Galaxy S21. The 6.4-inch display sports an 8MP selfie camera in the centre and a fingerprint sensor behind the glass layer on the bottom. The Pixel 6 is also somewhat heavy at 7.3 ounces; the OnePlus 9 has a smaller form factor.

Features:

The Pixel 6’s main camera has a 50MP sensor, while the ultrawide angle camera has a 12MP sensor and a 114-degree field of view. Battery life varies, with poor performance over 5G connections and good performance over LTE.

Display:

The Google Pixel 6 boasts a 6.4-inch OLED display with a 2400×1080 pixel resolution and a high pixel density. With a uniform distribution of bright and dark areas, the brightness reaches 1,128cd/m2 (APL50).

The display flickers between 176.1 Hz and 376.6 Hz at minimum brightness, indicating that Google doesn’t have a solid handle on OLED flickering. At 367.6 Hz, the display flickers (Likely utilizing PWM).

At a brightness setting of 100 percent and below, flickering is noted. An average of 21090 (minimum: 5 – maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured if PWM was identified. Instead of the more popular DCI-P3, the Pixel 6 uses an extended sRGB color range.

The 6.4-inch AMOLED display on the Google Pixel 6 features a 2400 x 1080p resolution and rapid response times. It’s neither too huge nor too small, yet it’s just right.

Cameras:

The Google Pixel 6’s front-facing camera takes excellent selfies. The results appear detailed and uniform despite the lack of a monstrous resolution. Since Google updated the main sensor for the first time in years, a lot has changed on the rear.

In low light, the photography performance is still good, but it falls short of Apple and Samsung’s rivals. The Pixel 6 and the iPhone 13 are currently two of the greatest camera phones on the market.

Apple’s latest phone features a telephoto lens and an ultrawide camera, whereas Google’s phone has a main lens and an ultrawide camera. Google’s customary assortment of tricks powered by computation photography is available on both phones’ cameras.

This year’s tools include the ability to simply remove people and objects from your photos’ backgrounds. Both phones performed admirably at night, with their various night settings capturing some crisp images.

Games:

In our Gamebench tests, the Google Pixel 6 maintains a solid gaming performance at high detail levels. At 90 Hz, the related titles are even smoother than on other devices. The Gaming Dashboard is a new feature that allows users to immediately stream games to YouTube or adjust performance parameters.

Telephone and Call Quality:

When the Google smartphone is held to the ear, the voice quality is excellent. An additional eSIM can be used by those who desire to use twin SIM cards. The results appear detailed and uniform despite the lack of a monstrous resolution.

The Pixel 6 takes detailed and color-consistent photos that aren’t overly crisp. The main camera of the Google Pixel 6 sports a 12MP5 ultra-wide-angle lens with an optical image stabilizer (OIS) for video shooting.

In decent lighting, the phone has a slightly warmer white balance, but not to an excessive degree. When it comes to blues and dark skin, however, the deviations from the DeltaE value are a little too large.

Software:

The camera on the Google Pixel 6 Pro is what drew me in, but the Android software has also contributed to my excellent impression of the phone.

Material is a Google product. Your layout is unobtrusive, makes good use of space around fonts and selections, and straightforwardly presents everything. When you hit the power key, a lovely fade-in animation exposes more detail on the always-on screen, which shows symbols for current alerts.

Performance:

Many of the machine learning capabilities that distinguish the new Pixel 6 phones are powered by the Google-built Tensor processor. The Pixel 6 achieved single and multicore scores of 1,029 and 2,696, respectively, in Geekbench 5.

The battery on the Pixel 6 performed brilliantly in real-world testing utilizing a combination of 5G, LTE, and Wi-Fi and the OnePlus 9.

 The Google Pixel 6 can convert 4K video to 1080p in 49 seconds, compared to more than a minute for the Galaxy S21 and the OnePlus 9. Even if my aim wasn’t great, the graphics looked sharp and the response times were good.

Other games, via the Game Dashboard, offer Pixel 6-specific optimization, allowing you to pick whether you want the greatest graphics or want to save battery life.

Security and Updates:

The security and privacy features on Google’s new Pixel 6 and 6 Pro phones have been upgraded. The Pixel 6 will now receive five years of security upgrades, according to Google.

The new Privacy dashboard shows you which apps have used the phone’s location, camera, and microphone in the past. To turn access on and off quickly, add a camera/microphone toggle to quick settings.

Battery and Charging:

With the 90Hz refresh rate enabled, Google’s Pixel 6 flagship phone lasted an average of 8 hours and 13 minutes over T-5G Mobile’s network. That’s nearly two hours less than the smartphone average.

The Pixel 6 lasted 10 hours and 52 minutes in numerous testing without the power needs of 5G. That’s more my style. The Google Pixel 6 has a wired charging speed of 21W, which is just slightly faster than the Pixel 5’s 18W.

The battery gauge on a drained Pixel 6 came back to 29 per cent after 30 minutes of charging. In that time, the Galaxy S21 reaches 55 per cent, and the OnePlus 9 comes close to 65 per cent. The battery on the Pixel 6 performed brilliantly in real-world testing utilizing a combination of 5G, LTE, and Wi-Fi.

Pros:

• Unique design.
• Excellent value for money.
• Android 12 is a much-needed upgrade.
• Features for photo editing that are second to none.
• The phone’s intelligence is enhanced by a tensor chip.

Cons:

• Slow fingerprint sensor.
• Over 5G, battery life can be below.
• photos can have colour difficulties.

Conclusion:

With outstanding cameras, clever photo editing features, and new Google Assistant powers in Android 12, the Google Pixel 6 offers the best Android experience for the money, although the battery life could be improved.
