According to a recent announcement from Google, the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will come with its self-developed Tensor chip. The company also officially confirmed that these smartphones will arrive this fall. This means that the Google Pixel 6 series will launch anytime from mid-September this year. Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro each have three colour schemes. From the appearance point of view, they are the same as the previously exposed renderings and the real images. They use a three-stage back design and a raised camera module. This design is unofficially called an "explosion-proof shield" by netizens.

Google Pixel 6 / Pro specifications

The Google Pixel 6 comes with a 6.4-inch FHD+ display with a refresh rate of 90Hz. However, the Pixel 6 Pro uses a 6.7-inch QHD+ panel with a refresh rate of 120Hz. Both phones have three rear cameras, but the Pixel 6 Pro has a 4x zoom telephoto lens.

From the official publicity and naming point of view, the Google Tensor chip on board should be an AI chip. This means that it can directly process AI and ML models on the phone. This will allow users to have a better camera experience, voice recognition, and other functions. The emphasis has been on voice assistant, translation, subtitles, and dictation capabilities. We expect these features to significantly improve in this device.

In terms of software, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will get the best experience under the support of the Material You dynamic theme of Android 12. In addition, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have the most built-in hardware security layers, which are very powerful in terms of security protection. As of now, the official website of the product is already active.

According to reports, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will get five years of software updates. This includes four years of major Android updates. The company has officially confirmed that these flagship smartphones will launch this fall. However, some reports claim that they will launch in October.
