You can still get pretty close to a subject while retaining a good amount of detail, but the Pixel 6 Pro isn't capable of taking proper close-up shots. There's still no macro mode or proper manual controls, which are limited to very basic white balance and exposure sliders. The telephoto lens is top notch though, and even the 20x digital zoom is surprisingly decent though still a far cry from optical magnification. However, it can be a problem with the selfie ultrawide in all but the best lighting conditions. The ultrawide rear camera no longer succumbs to the softness that marred 2020's Pixel 4a 5G. We reviewed this unit using the Android 12 operating system. The Pixel 6 Pro also supports eSim, and it doesn't include a wall charger in the box – the new 30W charger is sold separately. Protection: IP68 dust- and water-resistant.Network: Wi-Fi, 3/4/5G and mmWave 5G where available.Selfie camera: Standard and ultrawide lenses.Rear camera: Standard, ultrawide and telephoto lenses max 4x optical, 20x digital zoom.The Pixel 6 Pro is available in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB in three colour configurations. It'll handle (almost) anything you throw at it and with a few new features that border on futuristic, it's hard to find much to fault here. With a slick new design, significant camera updates and a new processor built entirely in-house, the Pixel 6 Pro is a defining moment for Google. It feels like Google's way of telling the world not only can it compete with the big dogs, it can do it at a competitive price. But the battery life and lack of some high-end camera functions hold Google's flagship smartphone back from being the absolute best.Īfter spending the last couple of years making mid-range phones for the average user, Google is back in the top-end market with the Pixel 6 Pro. The Pixel 6 Pro has great performance, an excellent camera, a vibrant screen, a sleek new design and even some image and voice processing features that feel like they've been plucked straight from the future.
