Google Pixel 6 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Google Pixel 6 - expensive and tasteful

What should a modern camera phone be like? Among the proposed options, with a high degree of probability, there will be such epithets as productive, beautiful, autonomous and ergonomic. The hero of today's review meets all the specified qualities, however, the manufacturer's price tag for such a device is far from being very humane.

Already the past generation of Pixel smartphones has made significant headway in terms of design, while the phablet in question has become even more attractive. If the front panel is still not ready to boast of complete framelessness, then behind we see an excellent combination of an unusual block of two photo modules and multi-colored elements made of tempered glass. The side frame is made of durable metal, which will definitely please every customer. The applied AMOLED panel meets all the standards of the flagship segment. It has both an increased image refresh rate of 90 hertz and an impressive supply of brightness, coupled with an incredible color contrast. The image retains clarity at FullHD + resolution, of the positive properties of the AMOLED screen, I would also like to note the oleophobic coating and the good performance of the fingerprint sensor. But the developer decided not to fight with the PWM effect, people who are sensitive to it may experience discomfort.

Technical characteristics evoke double emotions. On the one hand, the Tensor processor from Google is the latest chipset that provides good performance in all games (only Fornite and Genshin Impact will have to screw graphics settings to medium-high presets), and good energy efficiency, on the other hand, many opponents have top-end devices installed solutions in the face of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chip. In any case, the Android 12 interface is reproduced without minimal lags, the launch of applications is almost instantaneous. Of course, such a result would not have been achieved without 8GB of RAM and a Mali G78MP20 graphics adapter. The battery capacity has reached 4600mAh , with not very active use, the charge will last for a couple of days with 8-10 hours of screen time. The volume of internal storage is limited to 128 / 256GB of ROM.

Photographic abilities have been improved. The role of the main sensor is performed by the excellent 50-megapixel Samsung GN1, aided by a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens. The sophisticated software and excellent hybrid stabilization allow you to get flawless daytime photos and extremely detailed and clear night images without any difficulty. There will be no problems with 4K video recording. These advantages are harmoniously combined with NFC contactless payments, stereo sound and support for 5G networks. It is impossible not to indicate the features of the flagship, such as moisture protection ( IP68 standard ) and wireless charging . Thus, the gadget turned out to be very balanced and functional, only the inflated price somewhat distributes it from the title of a hit.
