Google Pixel 6

📅 2021 📷 50 MP 🎬 4K60
from $599

📖 Overview

The Pixel 6 marked Google's leap to a 50MP main sensor (1/1.31", f/1.9, OIS) paired with a 12MP ultrawide, leaning hard on the new in-house Tensor chip for computational photography staples like Magic Eraser, Real Tone, and improved Night Sight. It captures DNG RAW alongside JPEG and shoots up to 4K60 video, though it lacks a dedicated telephoto and any Log profile. For its $599 launch price it was a standout imaging value, prioritizing software processing over zoom reach.
