The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro can take a stunning photo, but the design of the camera bar can eventually lead to some shots being blurry.
Google’s Pixel phones have long been highly regarded for their camera performance, and the Pixel 6 series is no different – in fact, they’re the best performing to date. And yet, I’m excited for the Pixel 7 because it looks to fix one of my biggest complaints with the Pixel 6’s camera, the blurry photos that have plagued my library over the past several months.
The Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro introduced a whole new design language for Google’s smartphones, and it’s a great look in my opinion. The two-tone colors, the matte black rails on the Pixel 6, it’s all quite nice.
But the distinct feature of Google’s design is the “camera bar,” which runs across the entire back of the device horizontally and houses all of the camera hardware. The two or three camera sensors, the flash, the autofocus hardware, it’s all in that one spot which doesn’t cause the phone to rock on a table, or stick out like a sore thumb from the rest of the design.
However, as my own Pixel 6 Pro has aged, I’ve noticed a flaw to the camera bar’s design.
