Google Pixel 6 Pro Design & Construction

Let’s get straight to the point, the Google Pixel 6 Pro is presented to us as a large and heavy model. It has a double side of glass attached to its metal body, which is already very robust and has been built from aluminum.

When we have it in our hand we can feel bulky, and it becomes annoying in the case of being used for a large amount of time.

Although this is common in large cell phones. Recall then that the dimensions of the Google Pixel 6 Pro are 163.9 x 75.8 x 8.9 millimeters, and its weight is 210 grams.

In a matter of design, we could say that it wins a lot to the natural. Google has opted for a front sufficiently well exploited by its screen. The hole for its camera does not bother at all.

Similarly, on the rear face we find a higher level of charisma. But in its construction Google has made sure of a couple of things, such as making it completely resistant to dust and water, and this is something we appreciate.

Google Pixel 6 Pro Display

The screen of the Google Pixel 6 Pro remains in a lower line than usual, the same has 6.71 inches that come to be fattened by frames that, today, could be considered as “very pronounced”, being the same straight style, but it is already a matter of preferences.

We are then faced with a QHD+ (1440×3120) LTPO OLED panel whose refresh rate rises to 120 Hz. The colors will be vibrant, with sharp contours of elements, a high level of contrast, and perfectly calibrated color temperature and saturation, aspects that Google has recognized that it decided to take care to the maximum.

The 120 Hz interface is fearless, we will appreciate smooth animations and, in general, applications will run smoothly. Its automatic brightness is another success, as it will adapt well to the ambient lighting, being able to use this device outdoors without suffering any complications.

In itself, the problems on the screen of the Google Pixel 6 Pro are not something you see, as it offers an experience other than positive. It can be summarized in a high quality panel, which will respond immediately and remains at the height of such a device.

Google Pixel 6 Pro Performance

Let’s talk about its processor, the Google Tensor. Of course, this has been developed by Google, and you can expect no inconveniences in daily use, regardless of whether you are going to do tasks that complicate the fluidity of the devices, such as playing games, or using apps for recording and editing videos.

Something that can draw attention within the performance of the Google Pixel 6 Pro is the temperature issue. We’re not meaning to say that it will overheat, in fact, it won’t even do so during hours of gaming. But you will notice it warm for most of the time.

As for the 3D graphics, these will be appreciated of the highest quality, Genshin Impact runs without slowing down the maximum power, being able to respond instantly to any interaction, although you can notice that the Google Tensor has weaknesses.

The power of the Google Pixel 6 Pro is not something that disappoints, although if it is a matter of comparing with other products on the market if you can find yourself one that another that can offer you a little more level, and that corrects the tiny flaws that you have found in it.
