Google is going to launch its latest Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones today. Apart from these two devices, Google is also expected to launch the Pixel Stand 2 wireless charger, which could be priced at $79.

The Pixel 6 series launch event will start today at 10:30PM IST. The event will be live-streamed via Google’s official YouTube account and you can also head to the company’s dedicated event page.

The Google Pixel 6 could come with a starting price of EUR 649 and the Pixel 6 Pro, on the other hand, could be sold for EUR 899, reports The Indian Express.

In the US, the standard model is tipped to be priced at $599, whereas its Pro version is said to cost $898. At the moment, it is unknown whether Google will launch these two models in India or not.

The Pixel 6 could be on sale in three colours, including Kinda Coral, Sorta Seafoam, and Story Black. The Pixel 6 Pro, on the other hand, might be available in Cloudy White, Sorta Sunny, and Stormy Black colour options, as per leaks.

Google Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro specifications

The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will pack Google’s first Tensor SoC, paired with the Titan M2 security chip. Google is claiming that this processor is optimised for efficiency and will offer 80 percent faster performance than the Pixel 5, which offers a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset.

Both will likely run-on Android 12 out of the box. The Google Pixel 6 series are tipped to receive four major Android OS updates and five years of security patches.

The rumour mill suggests that the Pixel 6 Pro will arrive with a 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display with support for variable refresh rate, ranging from 10Hz to 120Hz. The standard model could launch with a 6.4-inch OLED display.

The Pixel 6 series is said to have Corning Gorilla Glass Victus displays. The handsets are expected to have an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

Several reports have suggested that both the phones will feature a 50MP primary rear sensor, which is said to offer 150 percent lighter than the previous generations.

The back camera setup could also include a 12MP ultra-wide camera. The Pixel 6 Pro will reportedly get an additional telephoto sensor with support for 4x optical zoom.

If leaks and rumours are to be believed, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will get a unique Magic Eraser feature that will allow you to remove people and other unwanted objects from an image.

The Pixel 6 series is expected to support 30W wired fast charging. The Pro version will reportedly get 23W wireless fast charging, whereas the cheaper model is said to offer support for 21W wireless fast charging.
