Despite its somewhat advanced age, the Google smartphone packs a punch. As we’ve noted in our review, it puts enough to the table to make it a worthwhile purchase in 2023. Still, we can’t argue it seems even more tempting at 43% off its price tag.
Firstly, the device boasts a decent 6.4-inch OLED display with 90Hz refresh rate. What’s cool about the display is that you can adjust the color calibration between three options, something not every $350 smartphone has.
Under the hood, Google integrated its Tensor chipset, ensuring performance feels buttery-smooth. The phone feels more than adequate for the phone’s range. You can expect most things to run without annoying stutters.
Of course, we can’t go without paying due attention to the Pixel 6’s camera setup. On the rear, you get a 50MP wide camera, complemented by a 12MP ultra-wide sensor. It comes as no surprise that the overall photo quality is incredible.
Photos are sharp and vivid, with no unnecessary blurriness. Also, while the selfie snapper may not be ideal for some people, it’s pretty decent for the phone’s price range. The phone’s battery life is no disappointment, either.
In addition, we realize that one of the main concerns shoppers have when buying older devices is whether or not they offer enough OS and security updates to make a worthwhile purchase. With the Pixel 6, you get guaranteed OS updates until October 2024. As for security updates, Google promises another three years of those.
