The Google Pixel 6 will likely land in Fall 2021. Here’s what we know already about the next flagship from the company.
Update, May 14, 2021 (03:00 PM ET): We’ve recently updated the Google Pixel 6 rumor hub below with new leaked renders. The renders appear to show the vanilla model as well as an alleged “Pro” variant. Read on for all the details! Original article: The Google Pixel 5 marked a return to form for Google’s flagships. It sought to put the polarizing Pixel 4 series behind it and deliver a well-rounded and affordable flagship phone. With the Pixel 5’s first year winding down, all eyes now are on the follow-up, tentatively known as the Google Pixel 6.

Be sure to bookmark this page, as we will update it with Google Pixel 6 information as soon as it lands! Since the first Pixel launch in 2016, Google hasn’t altered its naming strategy. Even when it introduced the first “a” series device with the Pixel 3a, it kept to the numbered naming system it’s had since day one. As such, we are pretty confident the Google Pixel 6 would be the name of the next entry in the line. However, there is a significant change expected for the processor of this next phone (see further down). There are also rumors the design could see a wild revamp. These could be sizable enough changes that Google would feel it appropriate to start a new naming scheme. We haven’t heard anything to suggest that, though, so we’re sticking with the Pixel 6 name until we hear otherwise. As far as a release date goes, Google has launched every single Pixel phone in the Fall, usually in early October. The only anomaly in this trend is last year’s Pixel 5, which launched at the very end of September. Regardless, a launch date around the end of September or early October is what we’re betting on for now.
