Afterward being teased with it for and so long, the Google Pixel 6 may finally have appeared in the existent world.

Equally shared by M. Brandon Lee on Twitter, the mystery video seems to bear witness a pre-product Pixel half dozen Pro being turned over in a user'southward paw. The expect of this phone isn't a surprise since Google'southward already shown the Pixel half dozen off in renders, in a display in its New York City shop and in an YouTube promo video.

All the same, we've non seen the Pixel 6 in real life until this point, so seeing information technology in the metaphorical flesh is an heady moment.

On the front, aside from the welcome interface, it's possible to run across the relocated front selfie camera in the elevation center of the brandish, shifted over from the left corner. The brandish itself is a half dozen.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED panel, which we know since information technology was confirmed by Google itself. The base of operations Pixel vi uses a smaller 6.4-inch brandish with a 90Hz max refresh rate.

I remember this may exist the first hands on video leak of a Google Pixel 6 Pro. FYI: The logo would signal that this is probable an early on production test unit, so that means there may exist some differences between what yous see hither and the actual production device. #teampixel pic.twitter.com/4QSvdktqA7September 21, 2021

As the person in the video turns the phone over, we tin can see the photographic camera bar, the new location for the phone's rear cameras and the Pixel 6's nearly distinctive blueprint chemical element.

The cameras within the Pixel vi Pro's camera crash-land are thought to be a combination of a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide photographic camera and a 48MP telephoto camera with 4x optical zoom. Put together, this would be the most cameras e'er on a Pixel phone. The bones Pixel half dozen ,on the other paw, is said to be getting just the principal and ultrawide cameras.

If you're wondering why there'due south an unfamiliar logo in the centre, it's as Lee explains in the tweet: it's a disguise. Earlier phones proceed sale, they need existent-world testing, only to practise so without prematurely revealing the phones, companies use imitation names and logos to keep things under wraps.

The most heady affair about the Pixel 6 that nosotros tin can't see in this video is its new chipset. Rather than using Snapdragon silicon similar it has before, Google's designed its own scrap for the Pixel 6, named Tensor. It says that this new chip is focused on AI and machine learning features, and these will impact every element of the Pixel experience. We're peculiarly looking forward to how it impacts photo processing, which has already earned Pixel phones a identify on our best camera phones list.

We're expecting Google to bear witness off the Pixel 6 official in Oct, potentially on October 19, a date that's been rumored multiple times. It'll be ane of the last major phones launched this year, but the major changes promised for its hardware should help it compete confronting the best phones around, like the newly released iPhone 13 or the Samsung Galaxy S21.
