Google Pixel 6 Pro – Unlocked Android 5G Smartphone with 50-Megapixel Camera and Wide-Angle Lens 256 GB – Stormy Black

Product Information

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. It can also be fully charged at lightning speed, thanks to 30W fast charging which gets you from a dead battery to 50% in 30 minutes. In our Wi-Fi tests, it averaged speeds of 501Mbps down and 47Mbps up at a distance of 10 feet from a 802. It is a smaller device and does make some compromises on what it offers, especially in the display and camera as we detail below. The Tensor chip has been designed with security in mind, and all the artificial intelligence and machine learning applications run on it - from computational photography to real-time translation.

The phone supports most of the common Bluetooth audio codecs including SBC, AAC, AptX, Aptx HD, and, for high-resolution wireless audio, LDAC. The phone’s zoom features aren’t as high spec as far as some other top-end smartphones, but we found the Pixel 6 Pro’s zoom features were suitable for most tasks you’ll want the rear camera for.That said, it's not entirely accurate, and requires you to manually toggle on a setting hidden in the Phone app's menu. It’s a look you’ll either love or hate, and Google has paired the design with some bold color choices for those who are bored of smartphones that look like small gray rectangles.

Previously, he was Senior Phones Editor for TechRadar, and he has covered smartphones and the mobile space for the best part of a decade bringing you news on all the big announcements from top manufacturers making mobile phones and other portable gadgets. We’ve yet to test that, and we don’t think you’ll be able to do a great deal with the smartphone in that mode, but it’ll likely come in handy in an emergency.

With a design that toes a fine line between elegant and offbeat, it’s refreshing to see Google step away from the generic glass sandwich we've come to expect.
