DESIGN
The Google Pixel 6 Pro is Google's first flagship phone ever made, and it's the flagship phone.
The Google Pixel 6 looks quite different from most current phones, with a horizontal camera bar taking up a large portion of their backs.
This bar has somehow slipped off the back of the phone, which is likely to remove some - it undoubtedly gives the mobile phone a unique look. This means that your phone will not be flat on a desk, as it sits at a slight incline, even if you do not get the rocking motion that you do with a camera bezel on one side of the device.
Corning Gorilla Glass Victus is equipped with technology-protected glass backs that ensure it is not easily scratched.
It is also IP68 resistant to water and dust, so it should be able to easily sink into the water, but for a long time it is difficult to completely submerge your phone.
Color options for the Pixel 6 Pro are Sorta Sunny (yellow and gold), Cloudy White (white and gray) and Stormy Black (black and gray).
DISPLAY
The Pixel 6 Pro has a 6.7-inch QHD + display, which is reasonably large and offers picture quality - 1440 x 3120 resolution, a significant step compared to the 2020 Pixel 5 and its 1080 x 2340 screen.
It turned out that in 2021 it will be one of the sharpest looking displays we will ever see in a smartphone. Its 512 pixels per inch is a rarity in smartphones with QHD displays, which we have only seen in phones like the Sony Xperia.
The screen is capable of impressive brightness levels, and we did not bother to see the screen of the phone in bright sunlight. You will sometimes need to adjust the brightness manually, but we found that the automatic brightness often works well.
The display has a 120Hz refresh rate, which means that the picture on the screen will refresh twice as quickly as on a 'standard' 60Hz screen for a smoother experience while playing or scrolling social media.
The screen also has a fingerprint scanner on Google's first screen.

Built around Google's smartphone camera technology, the Pixel 6 Pro's camera design on paper still looks the company's best, with a 50MP wide camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera and a 48MP telephoto shooter.
SPECS
The Pixel 6 Pro is the company's first phone to run on Google Snow Silicon, more than Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipset. The chipset here is called Google Tensor.
The idea behind Tensor is that a processor designed and built by Google can be optimized to work with the company's phone hardware and software for a better, lasting experience.
In benchmarking, the Pixel 6 Pro gave the Geekbench 5 a typical multi-core score of 2760. It lags far behind the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 3440, OnePlus 9 Pro 3685 and iPhone 13 Pro Max 4549.
The Pixel 6 Pro is disappointingly only available in the 128GB or 256GB variants in the UK (the 512GB model is available elsewhere in the US and Australia). Considering that this is the brand's first attempt at a top-of-the-line phone, with a number of other high-end specifications, we'd love to see a 512GB more widely available option or 1TB of storage for real power users.
There is also no microSD support here, which is not surprising, but will minimize the storage issue.
