'Pixel 6' 'Pixel 6 Pro' opening ceremony & photo review



Google's latest Pixel series models, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, were released on Thursday, October 28, 2021. I received a flagship smartphone equipped with Google's first original SoC 'Tensor', so I immediately opened it and took pictures.

Kinda Coral and Stormy Black from 'Pixel 6' and Sorta Sunny from 'Pixel 6 Pro' came in an outer box like this.



When you open the box, the main body appears.



Accessories are common to both models, such as a 1m USB Type-C cable and a quick switch adapter ...



Two quick start guides and a SIM tool.



Both quick start guides are written in Japanese.



When you take it out of the box, it looks like this.



The biggest feature of the Pixel 6 is the camera bar on the back.



The camera bar houses a wide-angle camera with 50MP pixels and an ultra-wide-angle camera with 12MP.



In addition to wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle cameras, the Pixel 6 Pro's camera bar also features a 48MP telephoto camera.



At the top of the display is the front camera. The number of pixels is 8MP for the front camera of Pixel 6 and 11.1MP for Pixel 6 Pro.



Pixel 6 (width 74.8 mm x height 158.6 mm) on the left and Pixel 6 Pro (width 75.9 mm x height 163.9 mm) on the right look like this.



The Pixel 6 Pro has a slightly longer upper part of the camera bar.



Both models have the same thickness of 8.9 mm and the same height of the camera bar.



The screen of Pixel 6 is a 6.4 inch display with 1080 x 2400 pixels.



The screen of the Pixel 6 Pro is 6.7 inches, which is slightly larger than the Pixel 6, but the number of pixels is 1440 x 3120, which improves the resolution. In addition, although both are

OLED , the display of Pixel 6 Pro is compatible with LTPO , so power saving is also improved.



Both have a large display size, so it is a little difficult to operate with one hand. In particular, the Pixel 6 Pro did not reach the top of the screen unless it was held in the middle of the main unit as shown below.



On the right side of the Pixel 6 (top) and Pixel 6 Pro (bottom) are the power and volume buttons.



There is a SIM card slot on the left side.



There are no buttons on the top.



At the bottom is a USB Type-C port sandwiched between speakers.



The Pixel 6 weighs 205g.



The Pixel 6 Pro weighed about the same as the 209g.



The camera bar overhangs the back of the Pixel 6, so the display is angled when placed on a desk.



The lens won't rub, but it's a little worrisome.



That's why I also bought

a dedicated Google Pixel 6 case and a Google Pixel 6 Pro case.



Below is the case out of the box.



Attach the case to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro and the corners and frame will be well covered by the case.



There is no problem with accessibility to the charging cable and buttons.



The edge of the case is higher than the camera bar, reducing the risk of rubbing the camera.



The total weight including the case is 239g actually measured by Pixel 6.



The Pixel 6 Pro weighed 244g.



Prices for the Pixel 6 at the Google Store start at JPY 74,800 including tax, and the Pixel 6 Pro starts at JPY 116,600 including tax. After that, we will compare it with the previous generation model and perform benchmark measurement.
