This is similar to the Google Pixel 5’s ability to brighten dark scenes, but you’ll need to keep the camera still for this to fully work. It’s a look you’ll either love or hate, and Google has paired the design with some bold color choices for those who are bored of smartphones that look like small gray rectangles. Don’t let those benchmarking scores put you off; the Google Pixel 6 Pro is still a powerful phone, and the Tensor chipset isn’t a poor choice. It sometimes leaves some digital artifacts, so this won’t be useful for every type of photo you want to take.

It means your phone won’t sit flat on a desk, as it’ll sit at a slight incline, although you don’t get the rocking motion that you do with phones that feature camera bumps on one side of the device. Some retailers allow you to spread the cost of your phone - untick the "All Upfront" payments box to see these. Wireless charging is supported up to 23W, and while we weren’t able to hit that speed during our testing, if you’ve got a compatible charging pad you should expect to be able to fully charge your phone in around an hour and a half. The ultrawide camera gives you a 114-degree field of view, for when you want to get more people, or more of a sweeping vista, into the frame.

It doesn’t sport the best battery life or power, but those minor shortcomings aside, the Pixel 6 Pro finally sees Google take its place at the smartphone industry’s top table, with the device easily ranking among the best Android phones. The Google Pixel 6 handsets look strikingly different to most current phones , with the horizontal camera strip taking up a large portion of their rears. Launched alongside the standard – and considerably cheaper – Google Pixel 6, this new Pro variant is designed to be the very best from the company, packing its new Tensor chipset and other high-end internals, a great camera setup, and a variety of other improvements. Material You allows you to pick your wallpaper for the device, and the colors of that wallpaper will then accent the menus around your phone.

Unless you want a particularly wide shot, you’ll be better off sticking with using the main camera here.It’s designed to let you remove subjects that you don’t want to be included in your photos – for example, photo bombers. We’ve yet to test that, and we don’t think you’ll be able to do a great deal with the smartphone in that mode, but it’ll likely come in handy in an emergency.
