Possibly but I don't know if that bothers me day-to-day. I'm essentially comparing it to pixel 5 and the main reasons I want to upgrade are:

Faster storage
Faster CPU
Better/more versatile camera(especially video)

If it ticks those boxes then I'm happy.

I think everything about the camera setup for the 6 will be an upgrade but we don’t have long to wait now to find out.

Has the size of the base model been leaked? Does it have 60hz refresh rate?

6.4”, 1080p 90hz refresh rate screen.

There was an article that Target in US is doing $99 off Pixel buds but could just be their specific offer but certainly make more sense to bundle their own stuff this time round.

Agreed.

Or you could just keep the headphones…. Lol

Someone on my Twitter feed that’s a Stadia content creator managed to get a Pixel 6.

 

[BMox81]

Maybe it does have face unlock but that bloke didn’t know about it? Might be an option to turn on in the settings.

Let’s not all get angry now shall we? 26 mins until the livestream and we’ll all know either way.

If I was to go non Pro, the Seafoam colour is where it’s at.

Nothing like a couple of influencers to be buzzkills. Lol

Google talked about performance in their keynote. They said “We won’t win any benchmarks”

Looks like it's only 3 years of OS updates: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705?p=pixel_android_updates&visit_id=637702597609619849-18118364&rd=1#zippy=,pixel-phones,pixel-pixel-pro-phones

Meaning the last OS the phones should get is Android 15. This matches Samsung except for the extra security year. Was hoping Google would squeeze in an extra OS update now that they're using their own chip.

This is year one don’t forget-could get longer OS updates the longer they do the Tensor chip.

 

[BMox81]

Thanks. That's okay I guess. Plus 5 years security.

They need to up it next year to 4 years. No reason why they can't now they have their own chips.

Yeah that’s what I said a few pages back-3 years with the year one SoC and then increase it as they go on.

 

[BMox81]

A few pages back 4 years was touted on pixel 6. Can't have it all I guess.

lol, it’s a good start.

Just had a quick look at the Pixel 6-very nice indeed! Love the matte sides and while the screen is tall the width is the same as my 11 Pro so should be easy to handle.

No Pro on show unfortunately.

 

[BMox81]

Does anyone know a shop that's got a live demo of these? I looked in EE earlier today but they only had a shell of the pixel 6.

I did the demo at a Three store.

Something fishy there as LDAC is royalty free.
