Google Pixel 6 Pro: what we like (so far)<\/strong><\/h2>\n ![\""pixel\"]( "\\"\"pixel\\"\/")
<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\nThe exciting new look<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe design overhaul is the first thing you will notice about the new line-up \u2013 and it looks great in person. The camera module strip runs along the width of the frame but despite protruding slightly the phone doesn\u2019t have major wobble when it\u2019s set on a flat surface. The older design was getting a little tired, so it\u2019s fantastic to see Google embrace a bolder new aesthetic \u2013 and it\u2019s certainly stands out from the crowd.<\/p>\n
The Android 12 software<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Pixel 6 series ships with Android 12 software and it\u2019s a lovely, snappy Android experience on the 6 Pro. When combined with the high refresh rates of up to 120 Hz, scrolling through social media and websites has been a joy. When you choose a wallpaper, apps will match the colour theme. Notifications are clear and fluid, and there\u2019s more widgets to choose from. First impressions are very promising.<\/p>\n
A variety of camera modes<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhile we will test the camera capabilities in our upcoming review, the Pixel 6 Pro\u2019s triple camera set-up appears to be versatile. Aside from the basic specs, however, we found ourselves rather amazed by the phone\u2019s AI modes. Magic Eraser lets you remove unwanted people or items from your images in seconds. The Motion Mode, meanwhile, lets you create long exposure pictures \u2013 which is stunning to see as it occurs in real time. With software updates, we may get more modes in future.<\/p>\n

<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\nOK, so opinions are still forming and it\u2019s early days with the new handset, but there are some aspects of the Google Pixel 6 Pro that didn\u2019t impress as much during our initial couple of days using the smartphone on a day-to-day basis.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s fairly slippy in the hand<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Pixel 6 Pro display curves slightly at the edges and forgoes the matte aluminium finish that runs along the sides of the standard model. We do get why \u2013 the bezels on the Pixel 6 Pro are tiny \u2013 but it does make the frame a little slippy in the hand and we believe that a case will be a necessary add-on to limit any unwanted falls.<\/p>\n
Wall charger sold separately<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe box of the Pixel 6 Pro is thin, telling us one thing immediately: there is clearly no charger bundled in there. In an Apple-like move, the handset is packaged with a 1m USB-C to USB-C cable alongside guides, a SIM tool and a Quick Switch adapter for data transfer. It\u2019s far from a deal-breaker, but the 30W charger that\u2019s needed to take advantage of fast charging is sold separately. Although you probably already have one in the house and there\u2019s likely an environmental reason, it\u2019s another cost to consider.<\/p>\n
Rear fingerprint scanner is gone again<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe new design sees the removal of the rear fingerprint scanner that was found on a number of the older handsets, including the Pixel 3a and Pixel 4a. It was something of a unique feature of the series \u2013 and we can\u2019t help but miss it just a little. In its place is a fingerprint sensor under the display that admittedly was just as useful \u2013 and it also has wireless charging. Change is necessary \u2013 and we will move on in time.<\/p>\n
Pixel 6 pre-orders are now open. The phones will be available via Google and select UK retailers \u2013 including Curry\u2019s, Argos and Amazon \u2013 starting on 28th October.<\/p>\n

The box of the Pixel 6 Pro is thin, telling us one thing immediately: there is clearly no charger bundled in there. In an Apple-like move, the handset is packaged with a 1m USB-C to USB-C cable alongside guides, a SIM tool and a Quick Switch adapter for data transfer. It\u2019s far from a deal-breaker, but the 30W charger that\u2019s needed to take advantage of fast charging is sold separately. Although you probably already have one in the house and there\u2019s likely an environmental reason, it\u2019s another cost to consider.<\/p>\n
Rear fingerprint scanner is gone again<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe new design sees the removal of the rear fingerprint scanner that was found on a number of the older handsets, including the Pixel 3a and Pixel 4a. It was something of a unique feature of the series \u2013 and we can\u2019t help but miss it just a little. In its place is a fingerprint sensor under the display that admittedly was just as useful \u2013 and it also has wireless charging. Change is necessary \u2013 and we will move on in time.<\/p>\n
Pixel 6 pre-orders are now open. The phones will be available via Google and select UK retailers \u2013 including Curry\u2019s, Argos and Amazon \u2013 starting on 28th October.<\/p>\n
