In a surprising move , Google today revealed a bunch of information about the new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Prothat are “ coming this evenfall . ” As you could see in the pics above , they ’re quite unique and seem like something ofan court to the Huawei - made Nexus 6Pthat launch in 2015 . Pixel fans will surely debate the design for month to come in but one thing ’s for sure : no one will err it for an iPhone .
But when you get over its two - tone up , television camera - heavy design , you ’re go to findmore than a few similarities with the rumored iPhone 13that will set up at around the same clock time .
Pixel 6 vs iPhone: Processor
One of the big changes in the Pixel 6 is the new Tensor chip , which is Google ’s first scheme - on - chip . No longer will Google be using an off - the - ledge silicon chip from Qualcomm and it should make the Pixel 6 find faster and more fluent than the Pixel 5 , which used a lower - last Snapdragon 765 G processorthat was enough capable but felt slow at time .
The Google Tensor chip will power the Pixel 6 this declension .

The custom chip should bring the Pixel 6 up to the degree ofthe iPhone ’s A - serial chip , if Google is to be believed . Google has n’t released much in the means of specific , but since it ’s “ custom - made for Pixel , ” we can expect Google ’s new phones to finger much faster than they have in the past , even when they still used Qualcomm ’s flagship processors . In addition to the processing power , Google also says Tensor is loaded with neural abilities to “ central processing unit Google ’s most powerful AI ( artificial intelligence ) and ML ( machine acquisition ) mannikin . ”
Pixel 6 vs iPhone: Display
Google showed off the design of the front of the phone , which has a centered camera cutout but did n’t divulge any actual specs for the presentation . However , the Verge spent some time with the devicesand has more information : The Pixel 6 Pro will have an iPhone Max - sized 6.7 - inch Quad HD+ show with a 120Hz refresh rate while the Pixel 6 has a 6.4 - inch Full HD+ screen with a 90Hz refresh rate , slightly bad than the iPhone 12 .
The Pixel 6 Pro will have a 6.7 - inch display like the iPhone Pro Max .
Similarly , the iPhone 13 is bruit to last take ProMotion support with a 120Hz refresh pace , so the two Pro phones will likely equalise up very well . The non - Pro iPhone 13 will likely have a stock 60Hz display so technically low-spirited than the Pixel 6 , but ground on our experiences with the Pixel 5 ’s 90Hz presentation , the two phones will perform similarly .
Pixel 6 vs iPhone: Security
Apple has always congratulate itself on having the most private and unafraid phones on the grocery store , but Google is up the ante on the Pixel with the new Tensor bit . While detail are idle , Google claims that the Pixel 6 is “ build with the most layers of hardware security measures in any headphone . ” It bases that arrogate on the “ count of separate computer hardware security measures layers , ” which is an curiously specific claim and could convert once Apple releases the A15 chip in the iPhone 13 . But for now , Google is staking claim to having a telephone with better hardware protection than the iPhone . Of course , hardware security and software privacy insurance are very unlike things .
Pixel 6 vs iPhone: Camera
All Google Pixel phones have had fantastical cameras , so we expect the Pixel 6 to be even good . Google has revealed that the Pixel 6 Pro will be its first tri - camera phone , with a new 4X telephotograph lens to go along with the wide and radical - all-inclusive cameras . Apple separates its sound exactly the same fashion , with a telephoto television camera on the Pros , a differentiation that is expected to continue on the iPhone 13 . However , we ’re not sure if Apple will be bumping the optical zoom on the camera ( which is 2x , or 2.5x on the iPhone 12 Pro Max ) , but as they say , the proof of the pud is in the eating , so we ’ll ask to quiz out the two cameras to see which is superior .
The camera cake put up two lenses on the Pixel 6 and three on the Pixel 6 Pro .
Pixel 6 vs iPhone: Design and UI
At first glance ( and second and third ) , the Pixel 6 is very unlike from the iPhone . The back of the telephone set has a feature Google calls the photographic camera bar and it ’s essentially an elongated bulge that stretches across the entire phone near the top of the back . Google has embraced it as a major design element , going so far as to make the people of colour above the barroom unlike than the coloring material below it . The Verge report that the Pixel 6 Pro will have “ shiny , milled aluminum track ” while the 6 brings a design that ’s “ perfectly flat , with matte - finished rails . ” That sounds very like to the new design introduced with the iPhone 12 that will likely continue to the iPhone 12 . And as we can see from the photos Google bring home the bacon , both will have thin , uniform bezels around the display .
Google will also color - catch Android 12 to the back of the phone so when you turn it on you ’ll get a seamless colouring material - equalize experience . The accent , wallpaper , and color dodging will deport from the back of the sound to the front as Google seeks to create “ a single , fluid experience ” that seems to be a draw like how Apple craft iOS , and specially similar to the new24 - column inch iMac . Google has always saved some new Android features for its own telephone , but with the Pixel 6 , it seems to be lean into the innovation of Android and crafting an experience that ’s as unique on the inside as it is on the outside .
Pixel 6 vs iPhone: Price
Google has n’t declare pricing information for the novel Pixel , but with the features announced as well as the ones rumor , it ’s clear that the new French telephone is n’t a mid - tier sound like the Pixel 5 . Hardware chieftain Rick Osterloh admitted to The Verge that Google has “ definitively not been in the flagship tier for the past duo years ” and that the Pixel 6 “ will certainly be a premium - priced mathematical product , ” so we can wait the Pro to be in the same conference as the iPhone 12 Pro Max , possibly starting at $ 1,099 . That ’s a variety from the Pixel 5 , which begin at $ 699 and does n’t really compete at the same spirit level as the flagship iPhones . With the Pixel 6,Google is intelligibly looking to make an Android version of the iPhonethat offers a premium experience within and out — but like the iPhone , it wo n’t come trashy .
