With the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro just about to arrive, getting a new Pixel 5 right now is bound to result in instant buyer’s remorse. Judging from all the rumors, the Pixel 6 platform will be a gigantic leap forward in terms of power, performance, features and design. That said, Google’s new flagship class phones will also likely have sky-high sticker prices to match. The question is though, just how far ahead of its predecessor will the Pixel 6 be? That fact is important because it’ll determine whether you should drop your older Pixel immediately for Google’s latest and greatest. Heck, if the Pixel 6 is all it’s cracked up to be current then Pixel 5 owners will be tempted too. Read more: Pixel 6 is coming, but should you buy a Google Pixel 3,4,5 or 5A instead? So no matter where you are in the Pixel phone upgrade cycle, knowing how well the Pixel 6 devices will stack up is an imperative. Here’s how we expect Google’s uber handsets will compare with last year’s model. When the Pixel 5 debuted last October it came with a $699 price tag. And at the time of this writing, it’ll set you back just as much. But with all the advanced components the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro should boast, all bets are off. Google typically offers its latest Pixel for the same price that the previous Pixel cost, but leaker Yogesh Brar speculates that the Pixel 6 could have a starting price of $749, while the Pixel Pro may cost between $1,049 and $1,099. This would make Google’s new smartphone more expensive than its predecessor. Google reportedly is angling to snatch premium phone market share away from Apple and Samsung.
