Google returns to the flagship market with the new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro phones

At its Pixel Fall Launch event, Google finally announced the details of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Some of the biggest changes to these new flagship phones are updated camera modules. The main cameras of the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro house a 50-megapixel sensor that is larger than its predecessors and bins the images down to a 12.5-megapixel output. Google claims it can capture 150 percent more light than the Pixel 5 with its 1/1.31” size image sensor and f/1.85 aperture. Both the Pixels feature ultrawide lenses with 12-megapixel sensors, while the 6 Pro adds a third telephoto lens with 4x optical zoom coupled to 48 megapixels of resolution. On the front, the Pixel 6’s selfie cam is 8 megapixels with an 84-degree field of view, while the 6 Pro is 11.1 megapixels and 94 degrees for easier group selfies. Google claims its reengineered Portrait Mode can better render different skin tones of wider, more diverse groups of people, naming the feature Real Tone. Google says it is dedicated to building a more equitable experience across its camera and imaging products, which will hopefully be a welcome departure from past omissions in its algorithms.
