These phones are going toe-to-toe with the iPhone and Galaxy S series. Again. But will Google eventually be suitable to get its phones in people’s hands? The company glinted success with its veritably competitively priced Pixel 3a, compactly edging out OnePlus in phone deals for a hot alternate. Also the Pixel 4 and Pixel 5 failed to repeat the success at tougher prices. Specially, the$ 600 Pixel 6 is$ 100 cheaper than last time’s Pixel 5, but it looks to be a far better phone.
Each phone has a thick camera bar stretching across the reverse. The Pixel 6 has a binary-camera system, with wide and ultrawide lenses, while the Pixel 6 Pro adds a blowup option. On both bias, the primary camera is a 50-megapixel detector with a quadrangle-bayer sludge, which puts four pixels behind each standard color block — you ’re not going to get 50-megapixel prints then, but commodity further in the realm of12.5 megapixels. The Pixel 6 Pro’s blowup camera is a 48-megapixel detector with 4x optic drone. There are no unnoticeable front- facing cameras — or notches — but a leg- hole camera on both Pixels. There’s also an under- screen thumbprint detector for the first time in a Pixel phone. You can find the rest of the specs right then Reviews Editor Cherlynn Low spent time with both Pixels. We ’ll dive deeper into her prints below.
Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro hands-on
A return to premium?
Spoiler alert The stylish thing about the new Pixel phones is the reasonable pricing. But there are a lot of new effects to attack with the Pixel 6 series. This series has the company’s first “ pro” phone, some Android 12-exclusive tricks and significant voice recognition advancements — if you ’re in the US.
The two phones differ slightly in design, which marks a departure from former times. Rather of the dull soft- touch texture of aged Pixels, both Pixel 6 phones have glass- covered sides, creating a decoration sense. According to Cherlynn Low, they ’re a little blockier and feel more like a Samsung device — which may not be a bad thing.
Both phones are also much larger than the Pixel 5, and though their screen sizes differ, they’ve nearly the same footmark. But the main point enhancement in the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro is their cameras, and this is what Cherlynn (and I) are most agitated about. For now, she could only gather some prints while under the supervision of Google reps, but anticipate her own review to put all the cameras through their paces. As Cherlynn will admit herself, she loves a selfie camera opp.

Sony may announce its new A7 IV mirrorless camera on October 21st
A YouTube data leak has spoiled some of the surprises, however.
Sony has teased the launch of a new Nascence camera on October 21st at 10 AM ET, and judging by the YouTube metadata, it appears to be the long- awaited full- frame A7 IV mirrorless model. A list of now- stripped markers, if accurate, would make the A7 IV a redoubtable mongrel full- frame camera, on par with Canon’s R6 (but hopefully without the overheating issues). Anticipate a 33-megapixel detector and 4K 60p videotape with 10- bit Each-I XAVC recording. And that’s presumably just the launch.
Facebook Portal Go review
Tablet or smart display?
Facebook’s new Portal Go adds portability to the company’s videotape- converse- concentrated smart display. Like with former Doors, it has an AI-powered camera that keeps you in frame during videotape calls, except this time you can carry it around the house. The Go has other advancements, too, similar as a more individualized home screen and a new Household Mode that makes it more family-friendly. Still, it lacks a lot of features that other smart displays have, and Facebook’s poor character precedes it.
