It can improve voice recognition and image interpretation among other handy features like translating messages and videos without the internet. It brings massive new machine learning capabilities greater than anything we’ve seen on Pixel phones so far.
The Pixel 6

The Pixel 6 features a 6.4-inch display with IP68 protection and Gorilla Glass, plus a 90 Hz refresh rate with Smooth Display and LTPO technology. With the new Tensor chip, the Pixel will be 80% faster than before. It also includes 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage.
New privacy features are here, along with a bigger adaptive 4,614 mAh battery. The phone will ship with Android 12 onboard. The Pixel 6 comes in 3 colors with polished unibody metal: Stormy Black, Kinda Coral, and Sorta Seafoam.

The Pixel 6 Pro will carry much of the same feature-set as the Pixel 6; however, there will be some additional upgrades. For example, the Pixel 6 Pro will come with a 6.7-inch display that can reach a 120 Hz refresh rate.
It will have a triple rear camera array with a 50 MP wide lens, a 48 MP telephoto lens, a 12 MP ultrawide lens, and an 11.1 MP front-facing camera. It will have 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage. The battery capacity for the Pro model is 5,003 mAh.
