How Do the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro Compare?

At its event today, Google officially unveiled the Pixel 6 series, which features Google Tensor, the company's first in-house designed mobile CPU. With the Pixel 6 series, Google is starting over as it enters the flagship market to compete with companies like Samsung and OnePlus.

You've come to the correct place if you're wondering how the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro compare. Here is a brief comparison of the specifications of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro so you can see what each model has to offer.

1. Comparison of the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro

Please be aware that since the devices have not yet been released on the market, this comparison is not based on hands-on testing. The official specifications that Google unveiled at the Pixel Fall event have already been mentioned. Now that that is out of the way, let's compare the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.

How Do the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro Differ?

1. Chipset

The Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are the first products from the firm to come equipped with the inside Google Tensor processor. Tensor, not Qualcomm's Snapdragon, will power the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The ordinary Pixel 6 has a starting price of $599, so you could choose it if you wanted to try out Tensor without investing a lot of money.

2. Software

The Pixel 6 series will come pre-installed with Android 12. Additionally, these devices will provide five years of security updates and three years of Android updates. No matter which Pixel 6 model you choose, Google will provide priority software updates and security updates for your device.

3. Memory, storage, and additional generic features

The standard Pixel 6 has 8GB of RAM and is available with 128GB or 256GB of storage. The Pixel 6 Pro, on the other hand, comes in versions with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. Both phones come equipped with an in-display fingerprint scanner, 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.2.

4. Camera

While Pixel 6 equips dual rear cameras, the Pixel 6 Pro offers a triple camera setup. The additional sensor you are getting on the 6 Pro is a 48MP Sony IMX586 telephoto lens capable of 4x optical zoom and 20x Super Res digital zoom.

The Pixel 6 Pro features a primary 50MP Samsung GN1 sensor, a 48MP Sony IMX586 telephoto lens with 4x optical zoom, and a 12MP Sony IMX386 ultra-wide lens. The regular Pixel 6 sports the same primary and ultra-wide cameras but skips on the telephoto lens.

For selfies, you get an 8MP selfie camera on the Pixel 6 and a 12MP sensor on the 6 Pro with a 94-degree field-of-view. There’s a center punch-hole on the front that will house the selfie snapper.

5. Battery Capacity

The Pixel 6 packs a 4,600 mAh battery. On the Pixel 6 Pro, you get a relatively larger 5,000mAh battery pack. Both devices support 30W wired fast charging and 23W wireless charging. Regardless of the phone you get, you will have to purchase a power adapter separately if you don’t have one since Google no longer includes the charger in Pixel 6’s box.

6. Refresh rate and Display

The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have distinct sizes, as one might expect. The Pixel 6 features a 6.4-inch Full-HD+ flat AMOLED display. You get a 6.7-inch Quad-HD+ curved display with the Pro model. The Pixel 6 is a good option if you're not a fan of curved displays.

7. Which Google Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro Should You Buy?

The Pixel 6 is the correct pick if you desire a (relatively) smaller form factor, flat display, and are on a short budget. Those seeking the best of what Google has to offer and in need of a 4x zoom telephoto lens, 120Hz refresh rate, and a slightly larger battery should consider the Pixel 6 Pro.
