Google Pixel 6 Pro – Unlocked Android 5G smartphone with 50-megapixel camera and wide-angle lens 128 GB – Stormy Black

Product Information

For that price, you're getting a very capable handset, featuring a 6.4-inch OLED display and 4614mAh battery. Google has fitted the device with its new 'Google Tensor' processor - a chip Google has promised big things from. We’ll start by talking about the camera tech, but the software here is another highlight, and something you won’t experience on any other current phones – although we might see Google roll some of these features out to older Pixel phones, while we might see other brands imitate them on future devices.

Magic Eraser is another big new software upgrade, which you access through the gallery element of the app. It’s designed to let you remove subjects that you don’t want to be included in your photos – for example, photo bombers. Unlike on previous Pixel devices, this update is particularly noticeable here. With its gorgeous display, the Pixel 6 Pro is the perfect showcase for Android 12’s new Material You feature, and it's one of the true highlights of this smartphone. While the Pixel 6 Pro isn’t the best smartphone money can buy right now, it comes pretty close. Google has stepped up its smartphone game lately, and this next-gen Android headliner is its crowning achievement.

On the right-hand edge of the phone are the power button and the volume buttons. The Pixel 6 Pro is disappointingly only available in 128GB or 256GB variants in the UK (a 512GB model is available elsewhere, such as the US and Australia). Considering that this is the brand’s first real attempt at a top-tier phone, with plenty of high-end specs elsewhere, we would have liked to see the option of 512GB more widely available, or even 1TB of storage for true power users.

Then again, it's worth noting that the Pixel 7 Pro will probably be out in October, so this won't be the latest Pixel flagship for long. As for the cameras, you're getting a 50MP wide angle and 12MP ultrawide, plus a wide range of improvements around lighting, skin colour detection and more.

Google Pixel 7 Pro

The Pixel 6 Pro has a 6.7-inch QHD+ display, which is suitably large and offers crisp picture quality – the resolution of 1440 x 3120 is a remarkable step up compared to 2020’s Pixel 5 and its 1080 x 2340 screen. At the time of writing, buying from AT&T or Verizon will get you a version that comes with mmWave technology built-in. This is something worth investigating before you buy your handset, mmWave technology is now more prevalent in the US.

The 50MP main shooter, which has an f/1.9 aperture and 1.2µm pixels is the camera you’ll likely be using the most. We found it was able to take high-res photos with good detail and true-to-life colors.
