Editorial report

Google Pixel 6 8 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet

The Google Pixel 6 suits anyone looking for an all-round phone with a large main-camera sensor and standout connectivity. Its clearest trade-off is weight: at 207 g, it is heavier than most phones of its time.

The 6.4-inch AMOLED display has a density of 411 ppi, among the highest of its time, while its 90 Hz refresh rate is typical. Its AnTuTu result is better than that of most phones launched around the same time. This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 256 GB. Storage is not expandable.

The main camera’s 1/1.31-inch sensor is among the largest of its time, and the camera has optical image stabilization. Its f/1.9 aperture, however, is less bright than most phones of its time. There is no telephoto camera with optical zoom. Connectivity is among the best of its time. The 4,614 mAh battery and 30 W wired charging are typical, while 21 W wireless charging is among the most powerful.

With an overall NeoScore of 7.2, the Pixel 6 is among the best phones of its time. It makes sense for anyone prioritizing connectivity, a high-density display, and wireless charging, and willing to accept a heavier body and a less bright main-camera aperture.
