Google Pixel 6 Thorough Review -Pixel 6 / Pixel 6 Pro should I choose

Pixel 6 (left) and pixel 6 Pro (right)

Two models of Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro that appeared this time.Because the design is common, it is difficult to choose by appearance, but the biggest difference is the difference in the size of the body due to the difference in the display size.

Pixel 6 Pro uses an LTPO OLED display of 6.7 inch QHD + (1,440 x 3,120).Supports up to 120Hz refresh rate and supports HDR display.The body size is H163.8 x W75.9 x D8.9mm and 210g.

Pixel 4 XL was the largest screen in the past Pixel series, and the screen size was 6.3 inches.And the body size and weight were H160.4 x W75.1 x D8.2mm and 193g.Compared to that, Pixel 6 Pro is larger and heavier, but it can be said that the screen size is 6.7 inches.Unlike Pixel 4 XL, the use of a punch hole -type in -camera to make it a full display is one of the reasons why the screen size can be increased while suppressing the size of the main unit.

In the conventional model, the flat display curves to the side, giving the impression of a full screen.In order to support 4K HDR, the content viewing experience has been improved together with the large screen.

The display refresh rate of the display is 10-120Hz.Since pixel 6 and pixel 5 are 90Hz, it seems to be powerful in game applications that require higher speed operation.Even if the vertical website is quickly scrolled, if it is 120Hz, there is little blur in the display, so it is easy to check the contents.

Pixel 6, on the other hand, has a screen size of 6.4 inches.The resolution is FHD + (2,400 x 1,080), and the aspect ratio is 20: 9 (the aspect ratio of pixel 6 Pro is slightly shorter at 19.5: 9).The refresh rate is up to 90Hz, which is also different from Pixel 6 Pro.

The brightness, contrast ratio, and HDR support of the display remain the same.Unlike the edge display Pixel 6 Pro, the difference is that pixel 6 is a flat display, and the sense of the full screen display is thin, but an unintended incorrect touch occurs when you operate it in your hand.The easiest is the edge display, and if you want to use it simply, the flat display is more suitable.

I personally like it, but if you play games, including refresh rates, pixel 6 Pro, otherwise Pixel 6 is enough.

The body size of pixel 6 is H158.6 x W74.8 x D8.9mm, 207g.The height is about 5mm, the width is about 1mm, and the weight is about 3g, which is small and lighter.Other than the height, I don't feel a big difference.Conversely, I am a little worried that the display is small even though the display is small.I feel that it was good to change the screen size a little bigger and add variations.

In terms of hardware, the mount capacity is different, pixel 6 Pro is 12GB and pixel 6 is 8GB.From this point of view, it is better to choose Pixel 6 Pro for applications that require large -scale memory such as games and video editing.However, Pixel 6 is enough as a specification, so it seems unlikely to be stressed by using it.

There is also a difference around the wireless.

What is common is that it supports Wi-Fi 6E and supports the 6GHz band.Although it is a bandwidth that can not be used in Japan at this time, it can be expected to be significantly improved in the future.Of course, Wi-Fi 6 in the 5GHz band can be used, so it is fast enough.

The difference is that Pixel 6 Pro is equipped with UWB.It is said that this is used for distance measurement and spatial localization, but it does not seem to be activated at this time.

And the biggest difference is the presence or absence of 5g millimeter support.Pixel 6 Pro supports 5g SUB 6 and millimeters, and is compatible with many bands except NTT DOCOMO's N79, so if you are a carrier other than DOCOMO, you can use it comfortably.Pixel 6 does not support millimeters, but Sub 6 also supports a large band.It is an exceptional compatible band as an Android smartphone.Both are high points that NANOSIM and ESIM dual SIMs are high.

Pixel 6 Pro is "all in", but considering that the use of the millimeter wave is narrow and the use of UWB is restricted at this time, it may be weak as a reason for choosing Pixel 6 Pro.

Pixel 6 / pixel 6 Pro is the most troublesome person's difference in the camera function.The Pixel 6 series has no design difference depending on the unique "camera" design, but as a camera, Pixel 6 is a dual camera and Pixel 6 Pro is a triple camera.

Both are equipped with a 50 million pixel wide -angle camera as the main camera.The sensor size is 1/1.31 inches, the pixel pitch is 1.2 μm, the lens aperture is F1.85, the angle of view is 82 degrees, and the 35mm format in the EXIF notation is 24 mm.Utilizing high pixels, pixel vinning, which treats four pixels as one pixel, is 12.5 million pixels taken.

Ultra wide -angle cameras are common, and 12 million pixel sensors are adopted.The pixel pitch is 1.25 μm, the lens aperture value is F2.2, and the angle of view is 114 degrees.EXIF has a 16mm focal length.

The telephoto camera with only Pixel 6 Pro uses a flexion optical system to embed it in a limited space, and the optical magnification is four times.The number of pixels of the sensor is 48 million pixels, which is recorded in 12 million pixels by pixel vination.The sensor size is 1/2 inch, the pixel pitch is 0.8 μm, the lens aperture is F3.5, and the angle of view is 23.5 degrees.With EXIF, the focal length is 104mm.In other words, it seems to be about 4.3 times exactly.

The camera function is an important Pixel function that makes full use of computational photography.Anyway, it is sold that you can easily take beautiful pictures, but this time the newly installed AI function is excellent.All this AI function is common to Pixel 6 / Pixel 6 Pro, so you can use it either.

The first function is "Eraser Magic".To be precise, it is a function of a photo app, but it is a function that recognizes and deletes the person in the image taken.Adobe Photoshop has a function called "filling according to content", but the content is the same.

The interesting thing is that it automatically determines the person in the image you shot.People who have been recognized as the main subject due to face detection are not eligible, but people outside focus, such as unrelated people in the landscape photo, and those who walked behind the portrait, detected with quite accuracy.You will be.

All you have to do is open the shooting image with a photo app and select "Eraser Magic" from "Tools".In particular, if the eraser magic is displayed in the "candidate" on the edit screen, pixel has found a person who can erase it in the image, so if you select it, the target to be erased will be displayed in a highlight.What is amazing is that it recognizes not only the face but also the human body.

After that, touch it individually and delete it, or select "Erase everything" and delete it at once.As a result, it is the same as "painting according to the content", and it is replaced with the surrounding parts, so it may be unnatural after erasing.However, if the background is a place where the same color and shape are continuous, such as the sky or grass, it will be erased so beautifully that it can not be distinguished at first glance.

If you do not recognize a person or want to erase anyone other than a person, wrap the place you want to erase the image with a circle, and the range will be erased by filling the content according to the content.

The function used during shooting is "Motion Mode".This is a function that simulates the sinking and exposure for a long time.The action bread reproduces a flowing shooting with the background.The effect can be obtained by fixing the camera or shooting to follow the subject.

The long exposure has the effect of a river where the tail lamp of a driving car flows.Although it is realized by performing digital processing in addition to continuous shooting synthesis, it is interesting that all of them can be easily realized by holding this despite the difficult shooting.

For long exposure, the shooting time varies depending on the scene, but if it is set up normally, it will not shake.It is not possible to shoot brightly in a dark place like a night view mode, so some light amount is required, but shooting a high -traffic night road will give you an interesting effect.

Applying the exposure for a long time can also get the effects of the aforementioned eraser magic.This is a synthesis of multiple photos, so if there is an object that runs during the shooting, the object will not remain in the image.In other words, if you take a picture of the people who come and go, they will disappear from the photos.

The difference between the action bread and the long exposure is the difference between "want to blur the background" and "whether you want to blur the subject".These shooting is a technique used in actual cameras, but it is powerful to be able to do it.

The camera itself is a simple and easy to handle camera.It seems that various post -processing with AI is performed so that the processing time of the image is entered for about 1-2 seconds when the image is opened after shooting.In particular, the color is quite flashy correction, so depending on the scene, you may get the impression that it is a little overkill.Nevertheless, it seems that human skin does not become an unnatural depiction because it is equipped with a real tone that reproduces the accurate skin color regardless of the skin color.

The HDR function is also powerful and the dark part is bright, and it is a depiction that is close to the appearance, but since it is possible to set the exposure of the Meibu and the dark part individually as before, it is easy to take pictures that are not left to the camera.By the way.The new white balance is now possible, and the usability has been improved.

These shooting functions are common in Pixel 6 / Pixel 6 Pro, but as mentioned above, Pixel 6 Pro has a telephoto camera.The proximity shooting performance is not so high, so it does not approach the subject, but it is much higher image quality and convenient lens compared to digital zoom.

Digital zoom also supports super -resolution zoom up to 20 times.Pixel 6 without a telephoto camera is up to 7 times, so the difference in use is obvious.It is not high quality when it comes to 20 times, but for telephoto cameras, it is a digital 5x zoom, so it is not extremely impossible, but it is a level that can determine the subject.

By the way, when I checked it in the RAW image, an image (680 x 512 pixels) that cut out the center from the telephoto camera was left.Apparently it is expanding this to 12.5MP by post -processing.

The camera shake is also good, and you will be able to take satisfactory photos in a wide range of scenes.In addition, it is an interesting camera that uses a unique AI and is satisfied with the playfulness.In that sense, you still want to select Pixel 6 Pro with a telephoto camera.If you value the camera function, I would like to say Pixel 6 Pro…, but it seems to be equivalent to the image quality, and the AI function does not change, so it seems that you can enjoy it even if you choose Pixel 6.

The difference between Pixel 6/Pixel 6 Pro is that there is a battery capacity in addition to the explanation so far, but both the nominal battery drive time is the same as 24 hours or more.As the screen size and resolution increase, the power consumption increases, so there may be a difference.Therefore, it can be considered essentially equivalent.

At the same time, the difference between the two models is the wireless function of millimeters and UWB, the size, resolution, refresh rate of the display, the body size, and the presence of a telephoto camera.

Conversely, there is no big difference, so it seems good to say, "You can choose either."Google's genuine high -end smartphone, which covers most of the desired functions desired in the current Android.The price is 74,800 yen for Pixel 6 and 116,600 yen for Pixel 6 Pro, so it is not too expensive than other companies' products, so I felt it was a highly recommended product.
