As you know, the Pixel lineup of smartphones is meant as Google’s flagship series although it hasn’t been the case always. Still, a lot of Android enthusiasts keep them on a pedestal for they bring about the latest and greatest in stock Android. Pixel series has been popular for their unbloated, easy-to-use implementation of Android as well as their great camera system, and carrying this legacy forward, Google announced two new models Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro a few weeks back. They were said to be launched during the ‘Later this Fall’ period. And well if the rumours are to be believed, the launch could take place on October 28.
Earlier the rumours said that the Pixel 6 series might be launching on September 13 (also the date for Apple’s big iPhone 13 launch) or a day before that, but seems like the new leaks state otherwise. A fresh report from Jon Prosser of FrontPageTech suggests that the Pixels would be released on 28 October, with their pre-orders starting from October 19.

There is a huge ‘camera bar’ that runs along the full width of the phones with a barely raised metal rail to protect the glass from scratches.

The base 6 Pixel will have a matte aluminium finish while the Pro 6 has a shinier polished aluminium finish.
Also, whereas Pixel 6 has two cameras (wide and ultra-wide), Pixel 6 pro adds a telephoto zoom lens to the mix.
