Introducing Pixel 6 — the smarter phone that gets you
Pixel is synonymous with great cameras, a fun user interface and the power, security and fun that Google is known for. This year, the Pixel family has been completely redesigned with a pro model (Pixel 6 Pro) and a premium edition (Pixel 6) to fit your style and personality. Here’s why they’re awesome:
Google puts the G in 5G. With 5G Ultra Wideband, you can download a movie super fast3. Gaming on the go is fast and smooth. And with Duo HD screen sharing, everyone on your call can watch the same video sports event together4. Both Pixels will also give you access to all Verizon’s 5G flavors, including upcoming enhancements to 5G Ultra Wideband using C-band spectrum.
Pixel’s most powerful camera system. Using next-level magical Google software and state-of-the-art camera technology, Pixel cameras revolutionized video and photography on smartphones. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro continue to raise the bar with greater accuracy, finer detail and richer colors — even in low light. With Pixel’s most advanced camera yet, you can remove the blur from faces, so you can see your subject clearly5, removes photobombers and distractions from your photos with Magic Eraser in Google Photos6. And portraits on the new Pixel phones can capture all people and skin tones beautifully and accurately. On the rear, both Pixels include wide and ultrawide pro-level cameras with a new main sensor that captures 150% more light7, and the Pixel 6 Pro adds a telephoto lens with 4x optical zoom for even sharper photos.
A brilliant display, in more ways than one. Pixel 6 is just as durable as it is beautiful. The 6.4” Pixel 6 and 6.7” Pixel 6 Pro displays8 are made with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus™, the toughest Gorilla Glass yet, with up to 2x better scratch resistance than previous Pixel phones9. The Pixel 6 Pro intelligently adjusts up to 120 Hz for smoother, more responsive gaming, scrolling and moving between apps. And with LTPO technology, it can lower to 10 Hz to save battery. With IP68 protection, both Pixels can take a little water and dust10, and with high brightness mode, you can watch and play in bright sunlight.
The smartest and fastest Pixel yet. The new Pixel 6 Pro is reimagined on the inside to be more modern and intuitive, making it the perfect productivity partner for your business. Google Tensor is Pixel’s powerful processor, the first ever made by Google, which makes this phone the smartest and fastest Pixel yet — up to 80% faster than Pixel 5. With adaptive battery, both Pixels adapt to your lifestyle, so they save power for apps you use most. The reimagined interface is a whole new way to experience Pixel, with colors that reflect your personal style.
Live Translate helps you understand and communicate in languages other than your own11 with the ability to translate chats automatically, securely and privately12. Pixel can even translate your face-to-face conversation. Just say, “Hey Google, be my interpreter.” At a Glance shows you what you need, right when you need it — like your boarding pass before your flight13. And it even makes you look good by checking your spelling and grammar as you type14.
Your protection, built into Pixel. Your life is on your phone, so Pixel is built with layers of hardware security, including the new processor and the next-gen Titan M2 ™ security chip. Every day, Pixel helps you feel safe with five years of security updates15, the Security hub, and protection from hackers and phishing. You can turn the mics and cameras off and choose when apps can use them16. Pixel doesn’t just protect your data, it also protects you. With the Personal Safety app, Pixel helps you reach emergency contacts or services if you need them17.
