Following the latest release of Android 12 to AOSP (Android Open Source Project), Google is now gearing up to launch its Pixel smartphones. The company took it to Twitter to announce that its upcoming smartphones will be unveiled on October 19. Along with that, the search giant also revealed the new thin-bezel design with a punch-hole display. The rumour has it that the Pixel 6 series is going to get a drastic makeover at its back. It will most probably feature a bold stripe to accommodate the camera module. While Google hasn’t shed any light on specifications. However, based on multiple leaks, here’s what we can expect from the handset.

Pixel 6 Series Rumoured Specifications

Both the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are likely to be powered by Google’s in-house Tensor chip. You can expect a 6.7-inch QHD+ OLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate on the Pro model, whereas the Pixel 6 might settle for a 6.4-inch OLED panel with Full HD+ resolution and 90 Hz refresh rate.

Moving onto the photography department, the Pixel 6 Pro would pack in a 50 MP main camera accompanied by a 12 MP wide and 48 MP telephoto lens. For selfies, it might sport a 12 MP snapper. The Pixel 6 is expected to feature a 50 MP rear camera with a 12 MP wide camera to keep it company. It does, however, miss out on a telephoto lens. Moving around the front, the handset will probably feature an 8 MP selfie shooter.

Like all recent Pixel smartphones, these new ones won’t feature a 3.5 mm headphone jack. For audio out, you’ll either have to make do with Bluetooth or buy a lousy Type-C to 3.5 mm adaptor. The Pixel 6 will feature a 4,614 mAh battery with 33 W fast charging. The Pro version will hold a larger 5,000 mAa unit with 33 W charging speeds. Do take these specifications with a pinch of salt and keep an eye out on this page for more updates leading up to the launch.
