The Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are both finally here, bringing with them an improved camera and Google’s own chip. But which is better?
The Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are finally here. The two new phones offer a unique design, Google’s self-developed chip, and one of the best cameras in the business. But it can be a little tricky to tell the differences between the Google Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro. Both devices have a similar design and similar specs. They’re not even that different in terms of size. So, which one is right for you? We put together this guide to help you determine which phone is better for your needs. The overall design of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro is similar, and as a result, you don’t necessarily need to decide which one to buy based on the way it looks. The Pixel 6 both have a kind of two-tone color-scheme, with the colors separated by a large horizontal camera module that extends across the entire back of the phone. While the designs of the devices are similar, they’re not the same. The standard Pixel 6 has a little less space above the camera module, and it’s shorter in general. Not only that, but the standard Pixel 6 has a flat display, instead of the slightly curved one found on the Pro. And, the Pixel 6 has a matte frame, instead of the glossy one found on the Pro. Generally, both phones offer a pretty unique look, and some might not love it. I don’t actually hate it — it takes some getting used to, but lots of phones have large camera modules these days. I got used to the look and feel within a day of using the phones. Both devices offer an IP68 water-resistance rating, meaning that they both should survive the accidental dunk. As you would expect, the standard device is smaller than the Pixel 6 Pro. It has a 6.4-inch display, while the Pixel 6 Pro steps things up to a 6.7-inch display. We’ll get into that display quality in the next section. Speaking of the display, it’s another point of difference between the two phones. The standard Pixel 6, as mentioned, has a 6.4-inch display, with a 1,080p resolution. The Pixel 6 Pro, on the other hand, steps up its 6.7-inch display to a 1,440p resolution. That means that text should be a little crisper, while images may be slightly more detailed.
