Google will soon launch its fresh smartphones and there have already been several reports about this new series. There will be two smartphones in the Google Pixel 6 series. This will include the Google Pixel 6 and the Google Pixel 6 Pro. As the official launch date approaches, more and more information about this series appears online. The latest information about the Google Pixel 6 series claims that it will receive an update to Android 16. This series will receive at least 5 years of support for major Android updates.
A report from @OXIR claims that the Google Pixel 6 series will come pre-installed with Android 12. And the 4-year major Android update means that the Google Pixel 6 series will have Android 13, Android 14, Android 15 and Android 16 updates. It is also the first flagship phone with a confirmed update to the Android 16 operating system.
It's worth noting that prior to the Google Pixel 6, Google typically provided three-yearly Android updates to Pixel models. Now that the Pixel 6 series will receive 5 years of Android update support, Google has yet to officially confirm whether the previous generation Pixel 5 will receive the same update. Also, other Android mobile phone brands besides Google provide Android updates for up to 4 years . This move by Google will increase the backlog of its competitors. This is also the main argument in favor of the Pixel 6 series.
Speculations about Google Pixel 6
The Pixel 6 sports a 6,4-inch FHD+ display, while the Pixel 6 Pro uses a 6,7-inch QHD+ panel. Both phones have three rear cameras, but the Pixel 6 Pro has a telephoto lens with 4x zoom. According to available data, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will receive software updates for five years. This includes four years of major Android updates.
The company has officially confirmed that these flagship smartphones will appear this fall. However, some reports claim that they will appear in October. On the software side, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will get support for Google Material You, a dynamic theme for Android 12. Also, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have the most built-in hardware security layers, which are very effective in terms of protection.
Judging by the Pixel 6 renders, there are some differences between the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro. The front panel of the Google Pixel 6 is wider than that of the Pixel 6 Pro. This means that the Google Pixel 6 Pro has a better display effect than the Pixel 6. Also, it seems that the hole of the Pixel 6 is smaller than the Pixel 6 Pro.
In addition to the slimmer bezels of the Google Pixel 6 Pro, it also sports a premium hyperboloid display. And it has a very high overall screen-to-body ratio.
