Google Launches New Flagship Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro Smartphones Priced at $599 and $899

I will give Google one thing, they did try to differentiate the look of their phones from the rest of the competition. They succeeded. I have to give them that at least. Their color choices/combinations on the other hand are pretty bad.

Its funny. On one side there are the ones that strait up claim that Pixel's 6 camera bump is bad/ugly and on the other side there are the ones that try to start memes with it and all the attempt on this thread have to do with superheros(Cyclops, great superhero character with it's iconic glasses that helped them control his superpowers) or Robocop, a cyborg cop built with very advantaged technology or that Star Trek character, Geordi La Forge(Human scientist, genius, and inventor). All positive associations honestly.

You really think so ? Did it look like a Samsung chip to you ? Go compare and let us know. Just because the outsource to Samsung to get their chips made doesn't mean they are rebranded chips from Samsung.

Tensor is built by Samsung's Foundry and it uses Samsung 5G modem but other than that it doesn't have much to do with Samsung own Exynos chips. The CPU configuration is quite different. It's a tri-cluster CPU, 2 big cores, 2 medium cores and 4 small cores. There's no Exynos SOC with such a configuration.

Anyway I'm sure the experience from a performance standpoint on these new Pixels will be stellar.
 
I’ll go ahead and be the outlier. I love the design and the colors of these Pixel phones. And even though I can’t see myself switching from iPhone, it has a great mid-century modern look to it. Trendy for sure, but man it looks great.

And since I’ve probably already lost everybody by now, hey Apple: prioritize Siri! Make it better than just good enough. I don’t think they realize how important Siri is to their entire ecosystem.

It's not ideal but also shows that the interest people have in the phone exceeded Google's expectations.

Quite possibly true! Just managed to get my Pro ordered so I can stop fighting it now. :)
10% cashback (store credit) and a free set of Bose 700's to sell on, cannot grumble at all.
 
does the magic eraser have to be on the new phone/that processor?

or is it an AI google photos feature I can use on an iPhone or if they were uploaded from a diff pixel device I wonder?

You can't benchmark smarts with traditional benchmarks. Look at how dumb Siri still is on latest silicon.

That rebranded exynos chip is already causing problems, no one could get their preorders in for hours.
