To say that Google has officially unveiled the Pixel 6 Pro this Tuesday would be technically incorrect. The North American company actually announced this product several months ago, but it did so in a vague and strange way. It showed only its external appearance, revealed the inclusion of its own SoC (Google Tensor) and confirmed some details such as screen sizes or refresh rates. The rest of the features, including those related to the camera, remained a mystery. Until today.
In the presentation event that Google has carried out this Tuesday, the North American company has completely removed the veil that covered its new creation . A creation that, on paper, could be the most refined mobile they have made in years.

The Pixel 6 Pro wants to be different
The back of the Pixel 6 Pro, as we had previously seen in various images, tries to differentiate itself from the rest of the phones that we can find on the market . First, with a photographic module that runs through the chassis from left to right. And secondly, through bold colors. In fact, the mobile will be available in three different versions:
Back in white with the upper edge in silver, Back in black with the upper edge in gray, Back in yellow with the upper edge in a slightly orange tone. Google Pixel 6 Pro The emphasis on differentiation can also be seen inside the Pixel 6 Pro. The best proof of this is the Google Tensor SoC , the first internally designed by the North American company to power a smartphone. This, as Google indicated at the time, stands out above all in the work of artificial intelligence, which increasingly intervenes in the operation of our smartphones.
The CPU of this Google Tensor, by the way, has a slightly peculiar configuration . First of all, it has two high-performance Cortex-X1 cores, a strange figure considering that other processors such as the Snapdragon 888 only have one of this type – probably not to spike power consumption or keep the heat generated by it at bay. the chip-.
But the oddities are not there in the SoC of the Pixel 6 Pro . Alongside these two cores are also two medium-performance Cortex-A76s. The strange thing is that these cores are inferior in several ways to the Cortex-A78, which are what we find in other processors such as the Snapdragon 888 or the Exynos 2100.
The important thing about this configuration, obviously, will be the experience that it is capable of delivering to consumers. And, although to evaluate this it will be necessary to wait for future analyzes, it is impossible not to wonder why Google has decided to opt for this configuration.
The Google Tensor, on the other hand, includes the Titan M2 chip , which is responsible for preserving the security of the computer in various ways (encryption, boot, etc.). Google has also committed to providing security-focused software updates for the next five years to all Pixel 6 Pro.
The cameras, the most promising
Over the years, the Pixels have earned a reputation for capturing high-quality images, always rivaling the iPhone of the same generation. In order to stay in this select club, Google has incorporated important new features in this new version .
First of all, it has opted for a 50 megapixel sensor that promises to capture 150% more light than what we found in the Pixel 5. It has also mounted a new 48 megapixel camera capable of perform lossless 4x digital zoom and 12 megapixel ultra wide angle.
The thing, obviously, does not stop there. Google also insists that the ISP (Image Signal Processor) present in Tensor, added to the various algorithms based on artificial intelligence, produce really good images in all situations , even the most complicated ones. And taking into account the history of Google in recent years in terms of camera software, it would not be unreasonable to think that this phone, indeed, is going to capture high quality images.
To complement this set, Google has also developed a new feature that, without user intervention, allows us to remove unwanted objects from our photos. Similarly, this phone has an option that allows you to correct blurred faces (if, for example, you were in motion at the time of capture) and a motion photography mode.
Google Pixel 6 Pro
How much does the Pixel 6 Pro cost? In which countries will it be for sale?
The Google Pixel 6 Pro will be on sale next week in certain markets such as the United States. Its price is 899 dollars , somewhat lower than alternatives such as the iPhone 13 Pro, which costs 999 dollars in the same country.
Upon its arrival in Spain, Google announces that it will be available at the beginning of next year. In France and Germany it will be priced at 899 euros, so we expect a similar figure in the Spanish market. At the moment, Google has not announced its arrival in Latin America .
