Google Pixel 6- Dual SIM (e-sIM) 128GB 8 GB RAM, 5G Kinda Coral - (Renewed)

Product Information

Other improvements within Android 12 include changes to widget settings, a one-handed mode and a new AppSearch feature. This allows you to search for stuff within an app in the phone’s settings menu, rather than launching the app itself. If you really push it with intensive tasks, especially gaming, it depletes a little faster than I would expect, however standby time is excellent. Forget to put it on charge overnight and it’ll only lose a couple of percentage points come morning. The most important thing to note is that the Pixel 6 is the very first handset to be powered by Google’s in-house Tensor chipset. Ditching Qualcomm and avoiding Exynos and Kirin, Tensor promises a handful of performance and efficiency improvements over last year’s mid-range Snapdragon 765G, and it represents a bold new future for Google. Pixel Fold: Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby and the use of other features. Average battery life during testing was approximately 33 hours. Battery testing conducted on a major operator network. Battery testing based on mix of inner and outer screen use and conducted in California in early 2023 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower. Despite being initially wowed by the revamped design, my impression was tainted slightly when I first took it out of the box. Maybe seeing it in so many images, both leaked and official, ahead of release made me accustomed to the looks but I wasn’t as impressed as I was expecting.

If you’re comparing this against the Pixel 5 (which actually launched at the same UK price) then it’s one of the biggest year-on-year jumps I have ever seen in a phone.

What's most impressive about the Pixel 6's modem, however, is its connectivity. We tested it in dozens of urban and rural locations across two states never encountered a poor signal. It consistently reached higher speeds than the iPhone 13 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra we tested in the same locations.

All the zoom skills on the Pixel 6 come via digital zoom and while the results are actually not bad (see the images of the coffee beans) it’s not a match for an actual folded zoom lens like the Pro. For digital zoom, it’s not too bad But that release is finally here and the Google Pixel 6 is now available to buy. I’ve had the Pixel 6 for about 10 days now and I have many thoughts about the direction Google has taken. There’s an obvious missing feature here, and that’s any kind of optical zoom lens. Like Apple, with its iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, the telephoto zoom camera is exclusive to the pricier model. If you want the 4x optical zoom, you’ll have to opt for the Pixel 6 Pro.

What you need to know about the Google Pixel 6

Let’s start with regular daytime snaps. Most phones can handle these well, but the Pixel 6 certainly impresses thanks to that big sensor. There’s a wonderful shallow depth of field look when you’re up close to an object, like the tacos below, and this gives a real professional look to snaps. There’s loads of detail in the fur Bright colours pop

Google Tensor’s custom image processor lets the all-new Pixel Camera capture fun times and starry nights exactly how you remember them. OLED display - 2400 x 1080 pixels - 6.4" - 411 ppi - (90 Hz) - 20:9 - OLED - HDR - fingerprint-resistant coating, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus (scratch resistant glass)The all-day battery, reimagined interface and Smooth Display all adapt to the way you use your phone. Plus you get powerful 5G and enhanced Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There’s a Motion Photo option, too, which adds some spark to snaps of fast-moving objects such as cars, although this doesn’t seem to be accessible on my Pixel 6 review unit. Google has also worked on skin tones, with Real Tone adapting the white balance to better suit diverse skins types. This isn’t something you can turn on or off, it’s just always there and it’s great to see.
