Google's advanced reveal of the Pel 6 and Pixel 6 In favour of has answered a lot of questions most the handsets, simply information technology's also opened a whole lot many. The near pressing of these: seat a bulky looking phone with such an unusual television camera 'visor' feel comfortable in the hand?

Obviously, we South Korean won't know for sure until we have reassessmen units to test ourselves, but Chrome Unboxed founder Robbie Payne definite he wanted answers early, so purchased a Google Pixel 6 Pro case to get a condole with the design drawn-out before there's a handset to put to sleep inside it.

Payne had previously tried the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, but found it to be uncomfortably humongous, merely was pleasantly goggle-eyed by the feel of the Picture element 6 Pro case. "Instead of this hulking brick I'd imagined, the example showed me that the Pixel 6 Pro won't really personify much different than the phone I carry already in the OnePlus 8T," he wrote. Indeed, it almost fits:

But more than pleasingly, it seems that the intimidating reported 6.7-inch size of the Pixel 6 In favou won't actually be that much bigger than the 6.3-inch Pixel 4 XL when non-screen space is accounted for.

"As a substance of fact, with the Picture element 4XL's massive forehead, it actually becomes the same size as just about modern plangent-screen phones," he wrote. "The OnePlus 8T measures 160.7 x 74.1 x 8.4 mm, piece the Pixel 4XL comes in at 160.4 x 75.1 x 8.2 millimeter, making them well-nigh isotropous in sized."

Course, size is only part of the comfort par, and handsets of similar dimensions keister weigh dramatically dissimilar amounts. Complete the synoptic, in damage of height, width and depth, the Pixel 6 Pro seems to equal uniform with other larger devices of the lowest some years.

And while the Pel 6 handsets' about distinctive feature — the elongate rear television camera bar — could be a design alter for the worse, Payne is confident that won't be the grammatical case.

"With this case in my pass, I can tell apart you that the projection is there, it is non subtle, but information technology's also not untold more extended from the phone's physical structure than whatever other camera module out there," he wrote. "I've also detected that the entire camera bar is sitting high enough on the hind of the phone that when I pick skyward the caseful I ne'er even come hot to my hand hitting it operating theatre coming into get hold of with it. My bet? Once I have this phone, I won't give it a second cerebration."

Payne goes on to praise the button location and the fact that "hand gymanstic exercise" should be kept to a minimum, which is hortatory.

But it's what's on the inside that counts, and with the denounce new Tensor scrap, Google is undoubtedly taking a adventure. As luck would have it, recent Pixel 6 benchmarks look precise promising so, and that's before we come on to the Francis Scott Key advantages that Google sees the chip offering: a "transformed experience for the camera, speech recognition and other Pixel 6 features."

We shouldn't have to wait too long to see if performance matches the hype, with leaker Jon Prosser expecting the phone to be unveiled on October 19 with the possible Picture element 6 passing date connected October 28. And, disdain Google warning connected an expensive handset previously, it looks corresponding the Pixel 6 price may end functioning being cheaper than the iPhone 13.
