Google may have even teased this date itself via screenshots of Android 12 on Pixel 6 renders, where the appointment on the calendar widgets signal to Tuesday, October 19.

As for the Pixel 6 itself, official teasers and unofficial leaks advise it'south going to modify up almost every feature compared to the approachable Google Pixel 5, most notably the new Google-designed Tensor chipset running the testify, a fresh pattern and the offering of ii models — a smaller Pixel 6 and a larger Pixel 6 Pro.

In that location volition be more than than just new silicon though. We're also expecting there to exist radically overhauled cameras, including a main/ultrawide/telephoto combination on the back of the Pixel 6 Pro. The batteries are too believed to take grown significantly in size and the charging may have increased from 18W to 33W.
