![]() The Pixel 6 Pro crushed our brightness test with a peak of 842 nits. That was considerably worse than the iPhone 13 Pro Max (0.21), but superior to the Galaxy S21 Ultra (0.35). The Delta-E color accuracy test results (lower is better) were weaker for the Pixel 6 Pro at 0.3. The iPhone 13 Pro Max (77%) and Galaxy S21 Ultra (81.4%) both eclipsed that mark, but as with other Android phones, you have the option to switch to a boosted color mode for a more saturated look. Our lab testing was a mixed bag for the Pixel 6 Pro with the phone reproducing 73.8% of the DCI-P3 color gamut in its Natural color setting. The vibrant red of the frog popped against the green background, while the fine details on the leaf below it showed the high-density resolution of the display. A poison dart frog resting on a leaf offered an excellent impression of what the display is capable of. I turned to Life in Color with David Attenborough and watched some of the “Chasing Color” episodes to test out the display. Like this year’s iPhone, this is the first Pixel to offer 120Hz and Google is jumping in with both feet by also offering a highly variable refresh rate. Like the iPhone 13 Pro Max and Galaxy S21 Ultra, it uses an LTPO OLED to adjust its refresh rate from 10Hz to 120Hz depending on the content on the screen. The Pixel 6 Pro features a QHD+ (3120x1440 pixel) LTPO OLED with Google’s Smooth Display offering up to a 120Hz refresh rate. This phone stands eye-to-eye with rivals like the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but does it hold up on more than size alone? At 6.7 inches, it is 0.4 inches larger than the previous high-water mark for Pixel flagships, the Pixel 4 XL. The Pixel 6 Pro display breaks new ground for Pixel. (Image credit: Laptop Mag) Pixel 6 Pro display There is a single USB-C port at the bottom and the power and volume up and down are on the right side. The Pixel 6 Pro keeps things minimal when it comes to ports or buttons. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protects the front and back of the Pixel 6 Pro, which should keep the phone safe from the occasional scrape, bump or drop. Pixel 6 Pro offers IP68 dust and water resistance certification, which should help it hold up to the rigors of daily life. If you want more color, Google also has a variety of case options that are slightly translucent and create some interesting hue combinations. Pixel 6 Pro fans who like more fun color options may be a bit envious of the standard Pixel 6 choices, but on the Pixel 6 Pro, Sorta Sunny, Stormy Black and Cloudy White get the polished alloy frame that wraps the camera array and edges of the phone for a more premium look. Google’s designers have created a distinct “Pixel look” and I hope they stick to it as the powerful marketing push we are seeing from the company needs to be backed up with a product that is instantly and easily recognizable. The look of the phone is subjective, but that dominant camera array spanning the back and the two-tone finish are the strongest design choices we’ve seen from Google in years. Longtime Pixel fans are going to have some growing pains as they try to adjust, but you'll feel right at home coming from one of the previous iPhone Max models or any of the larger Samsung Galaxy phones. ![]() That said, there is no getting around it: this is a big phone. The rounded back edges and waterfall display edges of the Pixel 6 Pro help make the large phone feel more manageable than the iPhone 13 Pro Max. However, Samsung's phone does outweigh the Pixel by over half an ounce at 8.07 ounces. ![]() The Galaxy S21 Ultra, on the other hand, is identical in size to the Pixel 6 Pro, which is impressive given that it has a larger 6.8-inch display. The iPhone 13 Pro Max (6.3 x 3.1 x 0.3, 8.5 ounces) is a bit shorter but wider than the Pixel 6 Pro and noticeably heavier. ![]() 035 inches and 7.4 ounces, the Pixel 6 Pro fits a 6.7-inch display and sizes up well with the giants from Apple and Samsung. While not all Pixel fans are sold on the size of the Pixel 6, the Pixel 6 Pro is unapologetically large, and that’s alright. ![]() Google has finally found that with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. There have been Pixels (and before that Nexus) devices that were better looking than others, but nothing struck as the defining Google phone look. This is a welcome change for Pixel design, which has lacked any character over the years. Just like the Pixel 6, the Pixel 6 Pro is going to draw love and hate, and not many emotions in between.
