The Google Pixel 6 has no more secrets: a leak reveals all its details and characteristics

The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro will be unveiled on October 19, 2021. Pending this announcement, new information has been published by leakers and a British retailer has posted the product sheets... enough to reveal the latest details of smartphones from Google.

We never stop leaks and other indiscretions about the Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. We were able to discover their accessories, including a dock, last week. They will be revealed on October 19, 2021, but will we have the opportunity to learn new things during the event planned for the occasion? Not sure… the leaks are intensifying in addition to the dumplings of some online merchants.

Pixel Pass: a subscription like Apple's iPhone Upgrade Program

Google would plan to accompany the launch of its new smartphone with a new subscription: the Pixel Pass. It would be a subscription similar to Apple's iPhone Upgrade Program… to enjoy a new device every year.

But so far the leaked information doesn't point to any particular details about how Pixel Pass will work in Europe, it could be a US exclusive, at least initially.

Confirmation of technical characteristics

We now have new confirmation that the Pixel 6 will use a 6.4-inch Amoled screen whose refresh rate can go up to 90 Hz. For its part, the Pixel 6 Pro a 120 Hz Amoled LTPO screen. able to decrease its frequency down to 10 Hz, like the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max.

Both are protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. The first will be powered by a 4614 mAh battery and the second by a 5000 mAh battery. Both will be compatible with 30 W wired charging (50% in 30 minutes). Wireless charging is also part of it thanks to a new Pixel Stand. This wireless charging provides a charging power of 21 Watts on the classic model and 23 Watts on the Pro model. Google would also introduce an "Extreme Battery Saver" mode that would offer up to 48 hours of battery life.

One of the biggest curiosities about these new smartphones is the Google Tensor SoC. The latter would be much more efficient than the Pixel 5, we are talking about +80% more than the Snapdragon 765G of the Pixel 5. This SoC will integrate the new generation Titan M2 security chip. The smartphone would thus be able to make translations in 55 languages ​​without being connected to the Internet.

A big focus on cameras with promising software functions

According to this latest information, they come directly from a technical sheet published by the CarPhoneWareHouse brand, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro would indeed use a 50-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL GN1 sensor. This sensor would collect up to 150% more light compared to the Pixel 5. It's very promising on paper. There would then be a second 12-megapixel sensor with an ultra-wide-angle lens and the Pro version should be equipped with a third camera with a 48-megapixel telephoto lens in x4 optical zoom and x20 “Super Res Zoom”.

As expected, these new Pixels rely on computational photography to dramatically improve their performance. We could thus benefit from a new function “Magic Eraser”, which performs essentially the same functions as its famous variant in Photoshop. It will allow you to erase objects and even people.

The new portrait mode would improve background blur to highlight the subject in a "professional" way, according to Google. And if a face finally appears blurred in the image, there would be a new function called "Face Unblur" to correct the blur.

Finally, the front camera would be equipped with a lens that would allow very wide photos, we are talking about 94 degrees. Something to make groupies.

As a reminder, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro will be officially unveiled on October 19 and they should be marketed on October 28. The expected prices are relatively low, compared to the competition, 649 euros and 899 euros. Another detail on this launch, Google should offer you a Bose Headphones 700 headphones. There was a similar offer last year when the Pixel 5 was released.
