Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I recommend looking at these photos from Android Authority to see how the Pixel stacks up size-wise against other popular smartphones.īesides that, the Pixel 6 has an IP68 water resistance rating and uses Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus. That’s mostly because it’s 16% larger than its predecessor, and an inch taller than my iPhone. Speaking as someone coming from an iPhone mini, I found the Pixel 6 to be cumbersome, hard to hold, and easy to drop. My biggest complaint with the Pixel 6 (and it’s a personal preference) is that the phone is just too big. And if you want a more traditional-looking device, fear not: The device comes in black as well. If that’s too flashy for your tastes, consider Seafoam Green.

I tested the “Kinda Coral” variant, which is mostly light pink with a bold coral shade in the section above the camera bar. Its front is all screen, while the backside rocks a two-toned color scheme that’s split by a horizontal camera bar spanning the full width of the phone. Weighing in at 7 ounces, the Pixel 6 is a smidge heavier than the 6-ounce iPhone 13 and Galaxy S21. The Google Pixel 6 rocks a bold design that feels premium, since it’s primarily made of aluminum and glass. Here’s a breakdown of its design, hardware, performance, and user experience to prove why I think it’s Google’s best smartphone yet. Not only that, it doesn’t require buyers to make major sacrifices for its reasonable $599 asking price. It strikes the perfect balance of build quality, speed, battery life, and camera quality.

I’ve been using the Google Pixel 6 for a week, and I think it’s the best Android phone for the money.

4,614 mAh, fast wired and wireless charging.

Dual rear camera setup with 50MP main, 12MP ultra wide, and 11MP selfie camera.
