Google Pixel 6 Pro Review
The Google Pixel 6 Pro has arrived, yes, finally. and it is a significant step forward for Google. This is a phone that means business, with enhanced cameras, a big 120Hz dynamic display, and the all-new Tensor chip. The new processor allows for faster and more efficient on-device language processing, as well as faster computational photography from Google. Another highlight of the Pixel 6 Pro is its camera arrangement, which is a versatile array that allows you to shoot a wide range of things in a variety of ways. In the previous year, Google has improved its smartphone game, and this next-generation Android flagship is its finest achievement. Let’s begin with the detailed Google Pixel 6 Pro review.

Google Pixel 6 Pro Design and Build
Google Pixel 6 Pro is the breath of fresh air you’ve been waiting for if you’re tired of the same old design and devices with frankly stale aesthetics. The Pixel 6 Pro is a stunning handset with a curved display, a three-colour glass back which I absolutely love, and a camera bar that runs the length of the phone. Isn’t that too big of a camera module, you guys had to beat Apple in here, man. Sorta Sunny (yellow and gold), Cloudy White (white and grey), and Stormy Black are the colour options for the Pixel 6 Pro (black and grey).
The glass on the front also curves at the corners, as does the display beneath it, giving it a more premium appearance and making it feel like a true flagship smartphone in my hands. So glad I borrowed it from a friend just to feel this premiumness.
If you’re worried about dropping it because of the glass, consider one of Google’s protective cases. The wide camera bar that runs across the back is a unique design choice. It protrudes from the phone by around 3mm, so it doesn’t lay completely flat on a table, but it also doesn’t rock from corner to corner like phones with only one camera hump (like the Galaxy S21 Ultra). The Pixel 5‘s rear-mounted fingerprint scanner has been replaced with an in-screen scanner in Google Pixel 6 Pro; which I found to be accurate and quick the majority of the time.
