Screen-wise, the Pixel 6 features a 6.4-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate constructed of 2.5D Gorilla Glass. The Pixel 6 Pro’s display is a bit more eloquent, with Google stating that its design was inspired by jewelry and watches. It’s built with a polished metal unibody that transitions fluidly into 3D glass on both the front and the back of the devices. The Pro offers a 6.7-inch dynamic display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Thanks to Google’s Tensor processor, the Pixel 6 series includes features like ‘Live Translate for messages,’ which lets users speak to their device in one language and then the phone types out the words in another language. This feature works on Google’s Messages app, Hangouts, Instagram, WhatsApp and Snapchat.
Google also added innovative new features to its camera. With skin tone and face detection models, Google says that the Pixel 6 series offers the most equitable shooter on the market when it comes to snapping great pictures of people of colour.
The camera also offers a ‘Magic Erasure’ feature that is capable of removing different subjects from a picture.
Thanks to the addition of the Tensor chip, the Pixel 6 series also sports new security features. For example, the smartphones’ security core also sports a Titan M2 security chip, with five years of security updates, a new ‘Security Hub’ and a ‘Privacy Dashboard.’
The Pixel 6 starts at $799 and the 6 Pro starts at $1,179. Both smartphones release in Canada on October 28th.
