Earlier this month, Google unveiled its flagship Pixel series smartphones — Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, which will come with a revamped design and its own Tensor chipset. However, the company has not yet announced the launch date for these smartphones.
While the official launch date still remains unknown, a new report claims that Google could launch the Pixel 6 series smartphones on 13th September. That’s a day before Apple is expected to make the iPhone 13 series phones official.
The company has already confirmed that the upcoming Pixel 6 lineup will be made available for purchase this fall. Recently, Google discontinued its Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G smartphones that were launched last year.
So far, Google has revealed some key details about the smartphones even though the full specifications sheet hasn’t been shared. The Pixel 6 comes with a 6.4-inch Full HD+ display offering a 90Hz refresh rate while the Pro model has a 6.7-inch QHD+ display offering a 120Hz refresh rate.
The standard model features a dual-camera setup on the back while the Pixel 6 Pro has a triple-camera setup — a wide-angle lens, an ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 4x telephoto lens. This time, the photography performance could top the charts given that the chipset is said to be focused on photo output and use artificial intelligence and machine learning.
The highlight of the Pixel 6 series remains its processor as they will come powered by Google’s own chipset — Tensor, which is made especially for Pixel devices. Apart from on-device AI and ML capability, the chip is also claimed to have significant improvement in translation, captioning, and dictation. The chipset is likely to be an unreleased Samsung Exynos 9855 SoC.
There are lots of smartphone launch events planned around mid-September. The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is expected to get launched on 8th September and then Google is said to be set to launch the Pixel 6 lineup on 13th September. Just a day after that, Apple is likely to launch its iPhone 13 series smartphones.
However, none of these launch events have been officially confirmed by the respective companies, but we expect an official announcement from the firms in the coming days.
