At first, I was unsure about the rear hump for the camera system, but it’s been fine and hasn’t caused me any grief. These phones have that with the camera bar/hump. My favorite designs from Google have all featured that shot of black, such as the 2 XL and 4 XL. When thinking about Googliness in design, I believe it’s the combination of unique colors with a pop of black. They look like Google phones, which makes me as a fan of unique hardware happy. And beautifully, the same goes for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.

It’s somewhat intangible when trying to explain what that means, but it stares you right in the face.

Google has had a great tendency to release phones that have a certain level of Googliness to them. We’re here to talk about the Pixel 6, though, not Google’s inability to take our money quickly enough.Īfter a week of heavy usage, is the Pixel 6 worth all of the hype? Is it the best $599 you can spend on an Android phone? Should you get the smaller Pixel 6 over the somewhat mightier Pixel 6 Pro? I hope to answer these questions for you below. Thanks to a great hype campaign by Google and steady stream of leaks from insiders, we have many people waiting for their new Pixel 6 phones to show up after an easily predictable pre-order disaster. After the good, yet somehow mediocre device that was the Pixel 5 last year, we needed a big breath of fresh air for the Pixel lineup. To say that this year’s Pixel devices have been two of the most highly anticipated Google phones to ever release almost feels like an understatement.
