The Google Pixel 6 Pro is still great, especially when its price is rock bottom

The Google Pixel 6 Pro is a very good photo smartphone. It still does much better than some of its high-end competitors even more than a year after its release. Today, it is found at 679 euros instead of 899 euros on Amazon, with a small gift to protect the phone.

Google recently launched the Pixel 7 Pro, its highest-end smartphone at the time of writing. If this new flagship brings some improvements compared to its predecessor, the Pixel 6 Pro released at the end of 2021 remains an excellent choice for anyone who wants to take great photos with their phone. Moreover, it becomes a real good plan today thanks to more than 200 euros of reduction.

What to remember about the Google Pixel 6 Pro

• The curved OLED screen in QHD+ at 120 Hz adaptive
• The superior camera
• The benefits of Google Tensor

Instead of 899 euros at launch, the Google Pixel 6 Pro (128 GB) – delivered with a tempered glass to protect the screen – is currently available on sale at only 679 euros on Amazon. This is also the lowest price ever seen for this premium smartphone.

The classic Google Pixel 6 is also cheaper on Amazon: 429 euros instead of 649 euros.

The perfect smartphone for photography

The Google Pixel 6 Pro marked a profound change in design in the Pixel range compared to the old models, and this is especially noticeable when you see this large band which crosses from left to right the back of the smartphone, on the upper part. This is where the camera is housed, which houses three sensors: a 50-megapixel wide-angle, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle (114°) and a 48-megapixel telephoto lens, which allows you to display a Very good quality x4 optical zoom.

Either way, it all blends perfectly with Google’s many algorithms — and laser autofocus, spectral flicker sensors, not to mention optical image stabilization — to deliver excellent quality in all circumstances, and above all many possibilities like erasing people in the background or blurring moving faces. In addition, the selfie camera is 11.1 megapixels to offer 4K filming at 30 frames per second – which is quite rare for a front sensor.

An always premium technical sheet

The Pixel 6 Pro screen has a screen diagonal of 6.7 inches. The slab with the curved edges on the sides is simply magnificent to look at, especially with the OLED which magnifies everything. We also appreciate the presence of LTPO technology to adapt the display frequency from 10 to 120 Hz depending on use, and therefore save energy on a daily basis. The 5,003 mAh battery then easily holds the smartphone for 2 days, with 4 to 5 hours of screen time per day. It’s very comfortable, and above all very practical not having to recharge your laptop every night. The only problem is the 30 W fast charge which is not at all fast, since it still takes a full hour to go from 0 to 50%.

In 2021, it was the first time that the Mountain View company decided not to integrate a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip into its smartphones. Indeed, the Californian company preferred to manage software and hardware at the same time by developing its own in-house chip: the Google Tensor. This processor emphasizes artificial intelligence to offer new features with Google services. We can cite instant translation in offline mode, for example, or the new possibilities allowed on the camera application. Raw performance is down on benchmarks compared to a Snapdragon 888, but that’s not why the Pixel 6 Pro (with its 12 GB of RAM) has performance issues. The proof: it runs Fortnite in Epic graphics quality with 3D resolution at 100% without slowdowns.
