Our Google Pixel 6 Pro Review

The standard Pixel 6 is already a superb smartphone but Google has managed to make it even better. The tech giant has made several seriously impressive upgrades to all of its key features which combine to create a top-of-the-range smartphone experience. 

Google Pixel 6 Pro: Display

On the Pixel 6 Pro you’ll find a 6.7-inch OLED display with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440x3120. It’s a noticeable upgrade from the standard Pixel 6’s 6.4-inch display and an excellent size for those who enjoy doing a lot of mobile gaming and streaming video.  

Further enhanced by an impressive 512 pixels per inch, all of this results in an ultra-crisp picture quality with fantastically bright, vivid colours. The Pixel 6 Pro also has a 120hz refresh rate which makes scrolling through web pages and app feeds feel significantly smoother.   

Google Pixel 6 Pro: Camera

Google has equipped the Pixel 6 Pro with another incredibly versatile camera set-up that’s capable of capturing some seriously stunning images. They’ve bumped up the rear lens count up to three, adding a 48MP telephoto camera alongside the 50MP main camera and 12MP ultra-wide camera.

They’ve also included plenty of great camera software which helps to enhance your images even further. Along with Night Sight that lets in 2.5x more light than the Pixel 5 and Face Unblur, the best new addition is the Magic Eraser which lets you remove any unwanted subjects from your photos. 

Google Pixel 6 Pro: Design

The Pixel 6 Pro is a quite large phone, weighing a hefty 210g and being 8.9mm thick, but it manages to feel well-built and solid rather than too bulky. The front and back are covered in glossy, curved sheets of super-strength Gorilla Glass Victus with a shiny aluminum frame. 

Rather than the usual squared cluster of camera lenses, Google has opted for an entirely new black camera strip that stretches horizontally across the rear of the device. It’s a unique choice and one that definitely helps the Pixel 6 to stand out in the crowded smartphone market. 

Google Pixel 6 Pro: Performance

The Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro are the first Google smartphones to run on the tech giant’s own custom chipset known as the Google Tensor. The idea being these devices will be much better equipped to work with Google’s own software and so able to offer an improved user experience. 

This definitely proves true with it feeling pleasingly slick and smooth to navigate around and apps and games running faultlessly. In terms of battery life, the Pixel 6 Pro doesn’t offer anything that remarkable but will be able to get you through the day with a tiny bit to spare. 

Google Pixel 6 Pro: Features

The Pixel 6 Pro runs Android 12 which is the latest version of Google’s OS and boasts 12GB of RAM. Android 12 is a fantastic piece of software that’s packed with a huge variety of interesting new features including a significant visual overhaul with Material You and an improved Google Assistant. 

Google has promised three years of software updates and five years of security updates to enhance the longevity of the Pixel 6 Pro. You can also choose between two storage options with the either 128GB or 256GB model. The 512GB model isn’t available here in the UK yet. 

How much is the Google Pixel 6 Pro?

Buying the Pixel 6 Pro outright starts at £849 for the 128GB model which, while it’s not quite as eye-wateringly expensive as something like the iPhone 13 Pro Max at £1,049, is still in the top-end price range for a smartphone.

Opting for a pay monthly contract will be the best option for the vast majority of people so you can receive your texts, calls and data in one convenient package. 

Google Pixel 6 Pro: Our Verdict

The Pixel 6 Pro is a truly excellent smartphone and boasts enough upgrades and brand-new features, including a beautifully glossy 6.7-inch display and dynamic three lens camera set-up, to make purchasing it over the standard model worthwhile.
