That's all well and good if you're a fan of big-screen phones, but it wouldвЂ™ve been nice to have a noticeably smaller Pixel.

Also, the Pixel 6 is 6.4 inches and the Pixel 6 Pro is 6.7 inches, but they feel very similar because the latter has slimmer bezels and curved glass edges, maximizing the display's real estate. It's readable outdoors, but it doesn't get as bright as competing flagships, so you might find yourself squinting on sunny days. Usually, the phone scrolls very smoothly. I also have very rarely noticed some choppiness in Twitter specifically, but this isn't always the case. Sometimes it unlocks on the first try, but most of the time you need to tap your finger twice. Most importantly, the fingerprint sensor: The physical, capacitive sensor on the back of the phone is gone, and now biometric authentication is handled by a fingerprint sensor built into the screen. The vast majority of games I tried, like PokГ©mon Unite, Hyperburner, and Dead Trigger 2, all ran flawlessly on the Pixels. The iPhone 13 Pro Max had trouble with the same title and needed some fiddling with the settings too, but Apple's top-end phone is certainly more powerful than the Pixel, and gameplay wasn't as choppy. I had to drop the graphics settings to low to be able to play it at around 60 frames per second (medium at 30 fps). I only ran into some resistance with the most graphically demanding game I could think of, Genshin Impact. I've yet to see any slowdowns or stutters launching and switching between apps, and if it helps for reference, benchmark tests put it only slightly behind Samsung's Galaxy S21 Ultra. I'm happy to say the Tensor chip's day-to-day performance is excellent.

As on most of today's high-end phones, there's no headphone jack, MicroSD card slot, or charging adapter in the box, but there's wireless charging, fast wired charging, 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, and water resistance.

Stereo speakers flank the screen, and while they don't sound as rich as the drivers on the iPhone 13 Pro, they're still pretty darn good and loud. Actually, they're so efficient, they lose far less power when sitting idly on standby than their predecessor. I was usually left with less than 40 percent in the tank before bed (around five hours of screen-on time).

Both phones comfortably lasted me a full day on a single charge. The OLED screens are sharp and vivid, with respective 90- and 120-Hz screen refresh rates that are wonderfully smooth. Well, you can find all the nitty-gritty technical details right here, including their differences, but the two pretty much have every feature you'd want in a high-end smartphone. You might be wondering how the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro fare with the standard phone stuff.

PIXEN REVIEWS ANDROID

The Pixel 6 is undeniably the best top-end Android phone for most people. Flaws are few here, and Google's respectable prices-$599 for the Pixel 6 and $899 for the Pixel 6 Pro-make for a wonderful combo. Tensor is the glue that helps create some rather magical experiences on Google's new phones, and it's aided by the best hardware in a Pixel ever. You can read more about it in our story from August, but to put it briefly, nearly every existing feature on a Pixel, from the night mode in the camera to voice dictation, runs markedly better thanks to this chip. Instead of using a Qualcomm chip like nearly every other Android phone, these phones run on a Tensor chip, which has been custom-built by Google to efficiently run sophisticated machine-learning models without needing to rely on a cloud server. This all stems from a new processor powering the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The phone can differentiate between when I want to include those words in a sentence and when I mean them as commands. When I want to send a message I can say вЂњSend,вЂќ and I can say вЂњNextвЂќ when I want to go to another paragraph. Voice typing is not perfect-I've had to quickly clarify to a colleague why I said вЂњsexвЂќ when I meant вЂњsixвЂќ-but the Pixel can understand context to a certain degree. For example, it didnвЂ™t understand when I spoke out my Korean friendвЂ™s last name, but after typing it out twice, the phone now spells the name correctly every time. ItвЂ™s also surprisingly accurate, and it can adapt to your speech as you use it.

It might sound like an ordinary voice dictation feature, but it's incredibly fast on the Pixel. In any text field, you can say the magic command above and start talking.

ThatвЂ™s thanks to Assistant voice typing, one of many new software features in GoogleвЂ™s new Pixel 6 smartphone. I've composed much of this review with my voice.
