A few weeks before the highly anticipated launch of Google's Pixel 6 phone, some of the device's features, especially the camera, have been revealed. According to reports, we are about four weeks away from the official announcement of the Google Pixel 6, slated for October 19. It is said that the phone will come equipped with cameras that are up to 5 years old.
The camera of the new Pixel 6 has a number of features, such as the Magic Eraser, which aims to remove passersby from your photo, and the timer light, which is said to make the flash blink as a countdown signal (when someone is taking a picture of you). Here are other features you can expect from the Pixel 6 camera, according to PhoneArena:
- Wide-angle front camera
- Manual white balance
- Magic Eraser
- Motion blur
- Scene lock
- Front flash
- Timer light
- Bluetooth microphone support
- Motion blur
- Child mode
- Repeated faces
- Vertical light spot
The Pixel 6 will come with the first custom chip from Google Tensor, developed in collaboration with Samsung. Another expectation is the rumors of five years of software updates for the Pixel 6, which would be significant, as no Android phone has achieved this level of support before, as these phones usually receive 2-3 years of updates at most.
Here are the details of the Pixel 6 camera specifications according to the latest leaks and rumors:
**Pixel 6:**
- Main camera: Samsung 50MP GN1
- Ultra-wide camera: Sony IMX386 12MP
- Front camera: 8MP
**Pixel 6 Pro:**
- Main camera: Samsung 50MP GN1
- Telephoto/Zoom camera: Sony IMX586 48MP
- Ultra-wide camera: Sony IMX386 12MP
- Front camera: Sony IMX663 12MP
There is no need to worry about the older camera hardware on the Pixel 6, despite its average age of about 3.33 years. In comparison with the new iPhone 13, Apple’s camera features are not as exciting or innovative. For example, it took Apple over three years to introduce a 3x telephoto camera to its iPhone lineup, while Google offers the Pixel 6 Pro a 4x zoom lens.
