I tried to verify 'Is Google Pixel 6 a model that should be upgraded from Pixel 5?'
The 'Google Pixel 6 ' and ' Google Pixel 6 Pro ' that appeared on Thursday, October 28, 2021 are, so to speak, Google's serious smartphones equipped with Google's original SoC 'Tensor' for the first time. So, I checked how the Pixel 6 differs from the previous generation Pixel 5 that appeared in 2020 from both the appearance and internal specifications.

In this article, we'll compare the Pixel 6 and Pixel 5. You can see how the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have been checked for appearance and accessories in the following articles.

◆ Comparison of appearance
First, let's check the appearance. If you put Pixel 6 (width 74.8 mm x height 158.6 mm) on the left and Pixel 5 (width 71.1 mm x height 144.7 mm) on the right, it looks like this.
If you put the Pixel 5 on top of the Pixel 6 and look at it from above, you can see that the width is almost the same, but the Pixel 6 is longer in the vertical direction.
The basic design is the same, with a power button and volume button on the right side, and a USB Type-C port on the bottom ...
The presence or absence of the camera bar gives a very different impression.
The thickness of the main body is 8.9 mm for Pixel 6 and 8 mm for Pixel 5, which is not so different, but there is still a difference in the overhang of the camera bar.
The difference in body size also appears in the size of the screen. The Pixel 6 (left) has a display size of 6.4 inches, while the Pixel 5 has a display size of 6 inches. The numbers are not so different, but when you actually open the same page and compare it, there is a difference in the range that can be displayed.
However, it does not mean that it should be large. With the Pixel 5, my thumb manages to reach the top of the screen ...
Since the Pixel 6 was strict, it may affect usability such as 'whether you can operate the status bar while holding it with one hand' depending on the size of your hand.
In addition, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro support Android's 'one-handed mode' function that opens the status bar by pulling the bottom of the screen as standard, so if you got 'Pixel 6 but after all If the screen is too big to use, you can use this function.
◆ Comparison of specifications
The following are the performances other than the appearance of the three models. Except for the fact that the Pixel 5 has a higher pixel count for the ultra-wide-angle camera, the overall hardware performance of the Pixel 6 series is higher than that of the Pixel 5.
| Pixel 5 | Pixel 6 | Pixel 6 Pro | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| battery | 4080mAh | 4614mAh | 5003mAh | |
| memory | 8GB | 8GB | 12GB | |
| storage | 128GB | 128 / 256GB | 128 / 256GB | |
| Processor | Snapdragon 765G | Google Tensor | Google Tensor | |
| camera | Wide-angle camera | 12.2MP | 50MP | 50MP |
| Super wide-angle camera | 16MP | 12MP | 12MP | |
| Telephoto camera | --- | --- | 48MP | |
| Front camera | 8MP | 8MP | 11.1MP | |
Even if it was said that 'Snapdragon 765G became Google Tensor', I could not pinpoint how much difference there was, so I actually measured the CPU performance of each model twice with the standard benchmark application Geekbench 5, and the score was high. I chose the results and compared them.
The result is below. From left to right, the Pixel 5 has a single core of '588' and the multi-core is '1354', the Pixel 6 has '1041' and '2833', the Pixel 6 Pro has '1027' and '2808', and the Pixel 5 and Pixel 6 Then I found that the scores are almost doubled. For this reason, those who are feeling the limits of the Pixel 5's specs should upgrade to the Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro.
After that, we will thoroughly check the performance using benchmark software other than Geekbench 5, and review the accuracy of the fingerprint authentication system placed under the display and the usability of the photo correction function 'Magic Eraser'.
