Here’s what we expect to see, and don’t expect to see, at the October 19 Google event.
It’s official: the Google Pixel 6 is getting an official unveiling on October 19 at a bespoke event – though we already know lots of information about the phone and its Pro relative due to Google teasing them copiously. So the Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro will definitely show up (well, you’d hope, at their own event) but what else could we see? Some rumors point to some likely additions, and others dream of some more unlikely surprises. We’ve made some guesses, and categorized them below by how likely they are: some are almost definite, some are possible, and some are less-than-likely. If the Google Pixel 6 doesn’t show up at its own launch event, something has gone seriously wrong on Google’s end. Did it stay out too late the night before and wake up with no memory of the night before, and have to go through some Vegas-themed comedy set pieces to find the Pro before the launch event? Less has come out about the Pixel 6 than its big sibling. It’ll possibly have a 50MP main and 12MP ultra-wide camera, a screen with a 90Hz refresh rate,8GB of RAM and 33W charging. We know the device will have the same Tensor chipset as the Pro, which is one made by Google itself, but we don’t actually know how good this is just yet. We know a bit more about the Pixel 6 Pro than its basic counterpart – it sounds like a flashier phone, making it a better target for leakers. Apparently it’ll have a 6.67-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, the same cameras as the standard phone but with a 48MP telephoto snapper, a 5,000mAh battery and perhaps up to 12GB of RAM.
