Google Pixel 6, 6 Pro Rumors: Here’s What We Know

The Google Pixel 6 is expected to launch later this year. It will be the Pixel flagship for the sixth generation, just like the name suggests. Unlike in 2020, when Google only released one premium Pixel phone, the company is expected to unveil two this year. Last year’s Pixel lineup was an anomaly, so it’ll be nice to see Google return to one standard and one bigger phone.

As usual, months before the Google Pixel 6 series’ official launch, rumors, and leaks about the upcoming series are numerous. We seemed to know quite a bit regarding the series already. So let’s take a look at everything that’s been said about the upcoming Pixel 6 phones in rumors and leaks.

Google Pixel 6 series: Release date

Google’s new flagship Pixel phones are usually launched in the fall. All other Pixel smartphones were announced in the first part of October, with the exception of the Pixel 5, which was launched on September 30, 2020. As a result, the Pixel 6 series is extremely likely to be released in early October. The company is likely to have a virtual event to showcase the new flagships due to the pandemic.

Google has traditionally taken anything from a week to a fortnight to begin selling the new Pixel phones after the unveiling. However, because of the pandemic’s issues, the time between the announcement and the selling date for the Pixel 5 was about a month last year. So, perhaps, the Pixel 6 launch this year should go more smoothly, with a shorter time between launch and sale date.

Display, Camera, Processor, and More

According to rumors, the Google Pixel 6 will have a 6.4-inch flat display with an in-display fingerprint scanner. The phone is also believed to feature wireless charging. Apart from that, the phone is expected to have bottom-firing stereo speakers as well as a USB Type-C port.

According to rumors, Google is developing its own processor, which might appear in the Pixel 6 series. In both phones, Google is said to be using its very own ‘GS101′ silicon. The high-end Mali-G78 GPU is believed to be used, which is the same GPU present in the Exynos variant of the Galaxy S21.
