What Else is Google Working On?

Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro Charger

In other Google news, although the Google Pixel 6 series is making the rounds online in the form of images, speculations, and leaks, a hands-on video of a prototype was still missing. The hands-on video divulges more details about the Pixel 6 Pro smartphone.

M. Brandon Lee shared the video featuring what seems to be a PVT (Production Validation Testing) unit of the Pixel 6 Pro. In other words, the handset seen in the video is not a commercial model. In the short clip, we get a clearer view of the phoneā€™s glossy body.

Furthermore, it appears to sport a 6.7-inch OLED display with slim bezels and curved edges. Thereā€™s a pinhole cutout on top of the display to accommodate a 12MP front shooter.

Moreover, the video gives us a glimpse of the phoneā€™s back panel. Google is still mum on the phoneā€™s camera specifications. However, previous reports suggest that it will house a 50MP main camera, a 12MP wide-angle lens, and a 48MP telephoto lens that supports 4x zoom.
