Another difference is the cameras.

The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro both have a 50-megapixel main sensor, and a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens, but the Pixel 6 Pro will also have a true quadruple zoom lens, based on a periscope lens (similar to what Samsung does in the S21 Ultra), And a monstrous 48-megapixel image sensor, and a capture area that is actually larger than the main camera's sensor.

Meaning: 20x digital zoom capability, and excellent images even in poor lighting conditions.

Combined with the new processor and Google's computing capabilities, the two phones feature amazing capabilities such as the ability to delete objects from the image smoothly, smart facial blur cleaning and even the creation of automatic and intentional motion blur when shooting a waterfall or subject in motion.

The new computing capabilities that the tensor processor brings to the Pixel 6, now also allow for completely live translation in 48 languages, which is also integrated in a series of instant messaging apps for typing, as well as an amazing capability introduced at the end: full voice translation from language to language.

For the purpose of the demonstration, an English-speaking interviewer interviewed the Japanese Marie Kondo, as she was speaking to Pixel, and he was speaking in English.

The processing by the way, is done entirely locally.

impressive.

These abilities also exist in faster and better dictation, with understanding the context.

You can even dictate to Pixel 6 in the voice of emotions that will be added to the messages.

Google also emphasizes security and privacy: all sensitive information is now processed in a core "sandbox" separate from the main application processing cores, and in addition, with a separate security processor, the Titan M2 and everything local.

Google also gives a privacy snapshot and real-time alerts about the uses of apps in things like the camera and microphone, and for added peace of mind, as we reported here, also 5 years of software updates (compared to 3 in the past).

Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are already available for pre-order, and will be on the shelves on October 28th.

Prices, by the way, were also a surprise in light of current trends: Unlike phones that cost over $ 1,000, the Pixel 6 Pro will sell for $ 899, while the Pixel 6 starts at $ 600.
