Camera Bar and different refresh rates
Google has a name for its rear design. The thick, black metal strip is called Camera Bar, housing all its rear cameras and accompanying sensors. The backplates are also two-toned, with each variant using two subtly different shades above and below the Camera Bar.
Both Pixel 6 and 6 Pro will share the same two-toned approach but have different colour variations for each model (Grey/Yellow, Pink/ Red, and two shades of Grey for Pixel 6, while Pixel 6 Pro has White/Grey, Light Gold, and Black with aluminium sides for Pro users).
The Pixel 6 has a 6.4-inch display and 90Hz refresh rate on the front, while the Pro version gets 6.7-inch at 120Hz. Both models use Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for protection.
Google Tensor
While Google didn’t explicitly state the chipset’s prowess, we know that Google Tensor is laid out like a conventional SoC - with individual compute components for CPU, GPU, AI-related processing, and a Context Hub for low-power features.
In a separate blog post, Google said that the chipset was designed to be like most mobile processors, but with Google’s machine learning research and development front and centre of its performance and efficiency.
Pixel 6 Pro gets one more camera
Pixel 6 and 6 Pro mostly share the same camera configuration, with the Pro version getting one extra camera on the rear.
