Design
Visually, the Pixel 6 Pro is unique. This is achieved with the help of a rear camera module, which makes it stand out from the competition. Several cameras are placed in a horizontal line, and a place for a microphone and a flash has been found. This site also has a practical application - when the smartphone is placed on a table, it does not shake.
Pixel 6 Pro is not thin. It may seem big to many. The body is slippery but stylish. We recommend that you put it in a case.
Turning the camera over, you will notice that the screen has minimal frames. The space is used most efficiently. The microphone and the slot for the front camera stand out.
Display
Pixel 6 Pro will win you over at first sight with its quality and colorful 6.71-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The brightness up to 800 km / sq.m is enough to read information from the screen even on a sunny day. The good news is that you can make it dark enough to handle the device comfortably at night.
Below the Pixel 6 Pro screen you will find the fingerprint scanner. It will impress you with high responsiveness and accuracy.
Productivity

Cameras
After Google has long pinned its hopes on the Sony IMX363 sensor to stand out in the market, we see a change in the Pixel 6 Pro. The company has chosen Samsung GN1. The sensor will leave you with positive impressions.
The rear camera is triple. The main module is 50-megapixel and is complemented by a telephoto 48 MP module and an ultra-wide-angle 12-megapixel module, which significantly improves photo quality. The photos with the Pixel 6 Pro surpass everything you know from the company's older smartphones.
As for the selfie camera, it is a single, 11-megapixel camera. With it, as well as with the back, you can record videos with 4K resolution. Overall, the Pixel 6 Pro does an excellent job of recording video, especially with the HDR algorithm.
Autonomous work

One of the advantages of the Pixel 6 Pro is the speed of wireless charging. The device also supports reversible wireless charging.
