Google Pixel 6: Release Date, Specs, Price, Leaks, Whitechapel Chipset

 

The leaked season of Google Pixel 6 has finally arrived. While we expected Google to announce or tease its in-house Whitechapel chipset as the keynote speaker for Google I / O 2021, it did not. From in-house Google chipsets to radical design leaks, the Pixel 6 Series is shaping up to be the company’s biggest flagship release since the days of the Nexus. In this article, we have listed everything we know about the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro before the official announcement.

Google Pixel 6: Everything We Know So Far

Like every year, the leaks and rumors so far indicate that Google will launch two variants of the Pixel 6: Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Interestingly, Google may be looking to replace its XL moniker with a Pro brand starting with the Pixel 6 series. That said. This, let’s look at the details of Google’s flagship Pixel smartphones for 2021.

Google Pixel 6 Release Date

Google has not yet officially announced the release date for the Pixel 6 series. However, given the past history of the Pixel launch, we can expect the company to introduce the Pixel 6 series in early October this year.

Unlike some brands, which announce products months before commercial availability (looking at you, Sony), Google generally brings the announced smartphone to market within two weeks. If all goes according to plan, the Pixel 6 series should be available to pre-order immediately after the launch event. However, there are also rumors that if the chip shortage continues into the second half of 2021, the availability of the device may increase in November.

Google Pixel 6 Price in India

With that, we can expect the Google Pixel 6 to start at $699 (Rs 50,843) and the Pixel 6 Pro model will be priced around $999 (Rs 72,665), beating out Android flagships from Samsung, OnePlus and Xiaomi. If a new price is leaked from a trusted source, we will update this post, so stay tuned with us for more information.

Google Pixel 6 Specifications

Pixel 6 Design

As you may have seen in a recent leak, the Google Pixel 6 lineup will bring a massive change when it comes to the overall hardware design aesthetics. Moving away from the standard design that Google has been using for years, the company will opt for a modern design that includes a curved screen and a thick camera bar. The camera bar, which runs along the entire horizontal length of the rear panel, is reminiscent of the Nexus 6P camera glass housing.

Turning our attention to the front, the Pixel 6 series will feature a full-screen bezel-less display with a focused punch-hole selfie camera. Leaked renders also point to the presence of an under-display fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 6. This will be the first time that the Pixel smartphone will have an under-display fingerprint sensor, which will replace the long-running rear-mounted physical sensor. Android 12 now basically supports under-display fingerprint scanners, as demonstrated by XDA’s Mishal Rahman.

Apart from the color combinations we have seen in the leaked renders, the Pixel 6 may also come in a green variant. You can take a look at the alleged renders of the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro above, courtesy of reputable tipster Onleaks.

Google Pixel 6 is rumored to have a flat display, while according to alleged renders for upcoming variants, the Pro variant is likely to have a curved display. While you can expect a 6.4-inch display on the Pixel 6, the Pixel 6 Pro is likely to have a larger 6.67-inch display. In addition, as tipster Max Weinbach stated in the podcast, the Pixel 6 can have a 120Hz full-HD display and the Pixel 6 Pro can have a 120Hz quad-HD display. Both these models will be AMOLED panels, and we’ve already talked about the under-display camera above.
