Apple stepped up its game with video processing over the last couple of years. I was hoping the 6 Pro would be closer to the 13 Pro Max but reckon we’ll have to wait for Google software improvements down the line in terms of video processing. Having said that, the 6 Pro video is light years ahead of the Pixel 5. Photos do look phenomenal on the 6 Pro, especially the night photography. I’ll be dualling with both the Pixel & iPhone, really excited to get the 6 Pro now!

Yep I got that impression too, like he’s taken the dual embargo issue out on the 6 Pro so, as a result, I don’t think he really sounds 100% impartial because of this imo.
Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro review: Solid phones, great software, perfect pricing
Our review of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, complete with benchmark and battery test results, plus camera samples.
Both the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro last incredibly long. On our video rundown test, the Pixel 6 clocked 20 and a half hours, while the Pro managed 17 hours and 13 minutes. That puts them among the longest-lasting phones we've tested all year. In real world use, too, the Pixel 6 Pro typically stuck around longer than a day and I never stopped to think about charging it.
I was about to say...speak for yourselfI’m ready to stop watching videos and get to working lmao
I think we are going to be alright this time …there’s always some room for improvement or else we all stop buying the next phone …well not true for many around these parts ..hehe
Just finished watching his camera comparison. Pixel Pro looks like it continues to be on top of it’s still photo game, very often having better color temp and dynamic range but still lags a bit on the video side. iPhone actually has a deeper feature set (Portrait across multiple lenses, 4K 60 FPS video across all lenses, macro mode, manually adjustable night mode duration, ‘Cinematic’ video). I was actually initially surprised that the iPhone performed better in Portrait mode but after he reminded me about the LIDAR sensor, made sense. The lens flare across the difference lenses and modes on the Pixel Pro was a little alarming too.
I feel the same way they do about this and hope I am satisfied with the screen on my Budget 6
.
I'm disappointed as well.... I would have been good with a power button scanner or rear..
I don't know what I was expecting but I was hopeful that the 6|6P would be better in most of the camera comparisons. I know the iPhone 13 is phenomenal in all photo and video but I don't feel like my Pixel 5 was far behind already. I really thought adding Tensor and upgraded hardware would have been a larger step forward, especially in video. Maybe Tensor needs time to gather data and will improving exponentially.
Yep. I’m thinking of just getting a refurbished 4 XL or a 5. I’d save about $250. Tensor is enticing, but I just want the Pixel camera and to mess around with the OS.
100% I hope they bring magic eraser down the line and that would probably convince me to stay with my 5 a year longer.
Damn, Apple is impressive.
imagine how much it would weigh! I mean my 13 PM is already a beast of a phone weight wise.
The difference between the Pixel 6 / 6 Pro compared to the 13 Pro in the majority of these first reviews is a very close camera system for photography. Pixel beats the iPhone in a few camera areas as I expected, especially night shots. Google was never going to outgun Apple in the video area with the start of their Tensor chip, Apple have made improving video a serious priority focus in the last 2 years. However, the video I’ve seen on the new Pixel’s still looks great. Plus when you take into account the price, the 6 & 6 Pro represents phenomenal value for money against the 13 & 13 Pro. Here in the UK, with Bose 700 headphones thrown in with the 6/6Pro, makes the purchase a no-brainer.
