[Hothot Review] Review of Google's high-end smartphone "Pixel 6/6 Pro" with original SoC --PC Watch
Redesigned from the conventional model
Let's start with the appearance of the Pixel 6 series.
The Pixel 5 series, which is the conventional model, was a product that pursued cost performance, which is positioned in the so-called middle high range even from the on-board SoC. Up to Pixel 4, it was developed in two series, the high-end model Pixel series and the Pixel a series pursuing cost performance, while in the Pixel 5 series, the Pixel 5a 5G also appeared this summer, but including the Pixel 5 It was a model that could be effectively classified as the a series.
On the other hand, the Pixel 6 series has appeared as a high-end model as before. Partly because of that, the design has been significantly renewed from the conventional model, and the texture has also been greatly enhanced. The Pixel 6 is positioned as a premium model, and the Pixel 6 Pro is positioned as a flagship model.

The color of the trial machine is Stormy Black lower side left side upper side right side Pixel 6 Pro front back.The color of the trial machine is Sorta Sunny lower side left side upper side side right sideThe Pixel 6 series has a metal frame with recycled aluminum on the sides, and glass on the display and back. The metal frame has a different impression by using a matte black finish on the Pixel 6 and a glossy silver finish on the Pixel 6 Pro. At the same time, both glasses have a glossy finish, both of which give a feeling of luxury compared to the conventional model.
The sides are curved, and the metal frame and glass are connected almost without steps. This does not convey the rugged impression even if you hold it in your hand. The Pixel 6 Pro has a gentler side curve.
As for the glass, Gorilla Glass Victus, which boasts the highest strength among tempered glass made by Corning in the United States, is used for the display surface, and Gorilla Glass 6 for Pixel 6 and Gorilla Glass Victus for Pixel 6 Pro are used for the back. As a result, not only is it hard to be scratched, but the durability of the main body is also improved.

The back glass is Gorilla Glass 6Pixel 6 Pro, and the metal frame on the side is silver with a gloss finish. The back glass is a comparison with the Gorilla Glass Victus Pixel 5 series. From the left, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a 5G, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro This is a comparison of the back. Also from the left, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a 5G, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 ProThe biggest accent in the design of the Pixel 6 series is the rear camera "Pixel Camera Bar". In the Pixel 5 series, a square unit-shaped binocular camera was mounted near the upper left corner of the back, whereas in the Pixel 6 series, a band-shaped protrusion that extends to the left and right sides is prepared at the upper part of the back and the camera is placed. , Adopt an unprecedented design. This Pixel camera bar has a fairly large protrusion of about 3 mm from the main body, which also has a strong impact.
In addition, when the camera is placed on a table with the display surface facing up, the camera unit acts like a leg that supports the upper part of the main body and can be placed stably. If the protrusion of the camera unit is placed closer to one side of the main body like the conventional model, it will cause wobbling when placed on a table etc., but this is not the case with the Pixel 6 series.
However, because the camera unit is protruding greatly, when the camera part touches your finger when you hold it in your hand, it gives a rugged impression and also feels a little intrusive.
Pixel 6 camera bar.The back color is different on the top and bottom of the camera bar Pixel 6 Pro's camera bar The camera bar protrusion is actually about 3 mm, which is quite large The Pixel 6 Pro's camera bar protrusion is also actually about 3 mm Pixel 5a 5G (left) If you point the display up on a table that shows that its presence is significantly different from that of the camera, the camera bar can be placed on your legs without wobbling.Three colors are available for each of Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The Pixel 6 comes in three colors: Sorta Seafoam, Kinda Coral, and Stormy Black, and the Pixel 6 Pro comes in three colors: Cloudy White, Sorta Sunny, and Stormy Black.
Both colors are different on the top and bottom of the Pixel camera bar, which is also a nice accent. In this trial machine, Pixel 6 was Stormy Black and Pixel 6 Pro was Sorta Sunny, but I felt that the former had a calm and luxurious impression, and the latter had a gorgeous impression.
