That was confirmed by Google itself on August 2, when it revealed a first official peek at the new smartphone series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:\">Renders released by tech tipster Jon Prosser showed a raised camera bump strip on the back of the device, which appeared in a striking two-tone colour choice of orange and white. The designs were ultimately the same as Google eventually unveiled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:\">The bezels look small, and the screen glass curved nicely around the edges of the phone. Unlike the 5-series, which has a fingerprint scanner on the back of the device, the new Pixel 6 will reportedly have an in-screen fingerprint scanner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" style=\"padding-bottom:\"> <img class=\"&quot;wp-image-1306198\" align=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2021\/08\/Google-Pixel-6-Pro-Alt-Angle-a794dc7.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;Google\" title=\"&quot;Google\" \/><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:\">According to <a href=\"\/\/www.frontpagetech.com\/2021\/07\/08\/exclusive-full-final-specifications-for-pixel-6-and-pixel-6-pro\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Prosser\u2019s report<\/a> \u2013 which should still be taken with a degree of scepticism as it\u2019s not verified at this stage \u2013 the Pixel 6 will have a 6.4 inch AMOLED display, a 4,614mAh battery, a dual-camera setup and either 128GB or 256GB storage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:\">The Pixel 6 Pro version will reportedly have a 6.71-inch OLED display, 5,000mAh battery, a triple camera setup, a better selfie camera, and 128GB, 256GB or 512GB storage options. Both will use Google\u2019s custom chipset, now named as Tensor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:\">In another big plus for potential owners, leaks suggest Google is committing to five years of software updates for the new Pixels \u2013 so they will be futureproofed.
