Equipped with a 50MP wide sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, the Google Pixel 6 captures breathtaking photos and videos. Before we dive into the specifics of the Google Pixel 6, it's crucial to first understand what we mean by "waterproof. No more worrying about noisy shots or washed-out videos; the Tensor chip is your personal photo editor and director rolled into one. Both are powered by Google’s new Tensor processing unit, a system-on-a-chip that the company says can more efficiently handle machine-learning tasks without needing to connect to Google’s cloud brain. The camera is probably one of the standout features, not for that fact that it takes up quite a large area on the back of the phone, but the performance that it offers.

Judging by our experiments with Magic Eraser, the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro do a stellar job, letting you capture the perfect shot for posterity, without necessarily waiting for the perfect moment to actually arise. On the other hand, water-resistant means that an item can resist the penetration of water to some degree, but not entirely. Let's zoom in on the Pixel 6 camera, the beating heart of your social media game and the go-to gadget for those memorable snapshots.

The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business, science to design. This is a more dramatic redesign than we’ve seen between generations before, and it brings a big shift in the internal technology, with Google’s in-house Tensor chip sitting in the space that would normally have been occupied by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. Regarding its water-resistance capabilities, remember that this does not cover water damage from salt water, soapy water, or alcohol-based liquids. We check how well your pictures and videos come out on both the front and rear lenses, looking at colour accuracy, flash uniformity and the quality of the zoom. The software filters out all the little roadblocks to make a more ambitious and creative approach to shooting pictures easier and more accessible than ever.

Take big group selfies or see more of your surroundings with the ultrawide 94° field-of-view front camera. Featuring the same powerful battery and advanced security features users know and love, this device now features a more powerful processor and chip than ever before and a top-of-the-range camera that can take stunning imagery in any light. Taken individually, these differences – a larger screen, smoother scrolling, a telephoto lens, slightly more RAM and a sharper front-facing camera – aren’t features that turn heads. It is the first Pixel smartphone to use their own made chip to make sure any apps you run are fast and lag free. Google’s Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro also have the most impressive language translation features we have seen built into a phone to date.

I would highly recommend getting a case, and I went with the Pixel 6 case from Google which I’ve been pleased with.
