It offers almost all the same features as the Pixel 6 Pro, minus the 4x telephoto camera, but is considerably cheaper, making this premium smartphone seriously good value for money. In our review we found that the battery life wasn’t the best, but that aside this is the best Pixel you can buy.The Google Pixel 6 may be the bargain of the year when it comes to smartphones. This is designed with AI and machine learning in mind, and it’s built specifically for the Pixel 6 range.Īdd in a versatile triple-lens camera, with a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide and a 48MP telephoto (with 4x optical zoom), plus a 6.71-inch QHD+ screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, and this is an enormously exciting handset. Google has also taken the unusual route of equipping the Pixel 6 Pro with a home-made chipset called the Google Tensor. It won’t be to everyone’s taste with its big visor-like camera block, but it will certainly turn heads. Its design is all-new, and very different to other phones from any brand. Yet it takes a different approach to most flagships, and to most Pixels. The Google Pixel 6 Pro is arguably the first truly top-end phone Google has ever made, and certainly the first one in a while. If you want a cheaper model, check out the Pixel 7a instead. The biggest shortcomings are most notable in areas where this phone, by design, trails behind the Pixel 7 Pro, with its slower display and the absence of a telephoto zoom lens.Įven so, the user experience feels polished, the AI-supported features are unique and competent, and the promise of more functionality via forthcoming 'feature drops' mean this Pixel is only likely to get better with time. The cameras sit within an imposing aluminum band that helps the phone stand out from the crowd, especially in its price range, and the smaller 6.3-inch display size and thinner bezels (compared to the Pixel 6) mean the Pixel 7 is more comfortable to hold, and more pocketable, than before. The Pixel 7 sports a design that, while divisive, feels considered and premium. Like the Pixel 7 Pro, the Pixel 7 arrives with Google's latest Tensor G2 chipset, which, paired with Google's own take on an Android 13, delivers a satisfying user experience, with everyday tasks made that little bit easier.
