Google Pixel 6 vs Google Pixel 5: What Are the Differences

Google’s Pixel 5 may not be the brand’s most premium model, but it’s a very convincing mid-range smartphone that relies on an excellent performance in terms of photography with much better battery life. . With the Pixel 5, Google is getting back to basics by dropping premium features like facial recognition and the Motion Sense feature. 

At the end of 2020, the famous search engine surprised users by downgrading its flagship benchmark to a mid-range Google smartphone. Available from 750 USD it is the battery and the camera that have mainly been reworked. 

If the information available is scarce, some rumors converge and draw a sketch of the potential benefits of the Google Pixel 6, including a photosensor under the screen. If Google continues with its annual schedule, the Google 6 / XE may be scheduled for March 2021. Regarding the price, you should know that Google Pixel 5 was launched at 750 USD. If no change of range is planned, a similar price will undoubtedly be applied.

Otherwise, and if the American company decides to align the performance of the Pixel 6 with the competition, it could relaunch a new high-end generation at more than 750 USD.

For the first time, Google has not accompanied its Google Pixel 5 with an XL version. It is therefore possible that the firm will repeat this practice in 2021, especially if it is a redesign centered on the Google Pixel XE. There would therefore only be one 6 / XE version at the end of the year.

It is the central element that feeds all the rumors. According to Patently Apple , Google could remove the front notch that houses the selfie photo sensor and place it under the screen . This would result in a total cleanup of the screen, like the ZTE Axon 20 5G . Anyway, it’s a safe bet that the Pixel 6 shines in the field of photography thanks in particular to a very powerful AI and an image processing which is just as powerful.

Google is offering a serious upgrade to HDR +. Google is introducing exposure bracketing on the Pixel 5 which allows you to take sharper photos thanks to the new wide-angle lens.

The “Super Res Zoom” feature is always present to maintain the sharpness of zoomed photos. This option uses super resolution algorithms and more to provide hybrid zoom that is better than traditional digital zoom. The “Night Sight” mode, which allows you to take superb shots even in low light conditions, is now also available in portrait mode.

The rear sensor is capable of capturing videos in 4K / 60fps and 1080p / 120fps with the new “Cinematic Pan” feature which offers much more than just an image stabilization system. The front photo module is 8 MP.
