Google Pixel 6 and 6 pro front light mode

Google is gearing up to release the Pixel 6 series phones later this year. Although quite unusual of Google, the firm has released a slew of information on the phones weeks ahead of their official release. The names, designs, release dates, and many of the specifications of Googleโ€™s upcoming Pixel 6 series were announced today. Hereโ€™s a rundown of what they tease.

Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro Release Date

As we already knew, Google was launching two Pixel series phones this year. There was a bit of confusion on the name or the larger and more costly variant called Pixel 6 โ€œProโ€ or the Pixel 6 โ€œXLโ€. According to official twitter account @madebygoogle, we have confirmed that โ€œProโ€ will be the name for the ultra-premium edition.

According to the official Google press release, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will both be releasing this fall; though Google havenโ€™t set a date. However, if history is any guide, the launch will most likely take place in mid-October. We have more information about the new features, tech specs, pricing, and availability from the blogpost, Google Camera 8.3, and Android 12 beta!

Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro Specifications

Google also has a Pixel 6 and 6 Pro store listing available to purchase once they are launched.

As for the specifications, Google Pixel 6 series will feature an โ€œindustrial design,โ€ with the Pro sporting a โ€œlight polished aluminum frameโ€. The regular Pixel 6 will sport a โ€œmatte aluminium finish.โ€ Surprisingly, the non-Pro appears to be available in a wider range of colours, whilst the Pro will only be available in three.

Google is reported to ditch Qualcommโ€™s Snapdragon CPUs in favour of its own in-house chips co-designed with Samsung for this yearโ€™s Pixel phones. Google today confirmed that its new custom chip will be named โ€œGoogle Tensor.โ€

Google Tensor Chip

The Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) on the Tensor chip can perform HDRNet on every frame of a video at up to 4K at 30 frames per second. By concurrently stacking several images from the primary camera into a single HDR image and collecting information from photos shot by the ultra wide-angle camera, the Tensor chip helps decrease blurriness in photos. The primary camera illuminates the scene and records it.

Pixel 6 Software

Of course, Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro will launch with Android 12 out of the box with Material You design. Here are the dark and light mode with dynamic wallpapers.
