Google pixel 6

The Google Pixel 6 isn’t the most powerful phone on the market, but its new Tensor chipset elevates its photo-taking capabilities beyond that of rival handsets. While it lacks a telephoto lens, and its battery life isn’t anything to brag about, it’s a big phone with a 6.4-inch display, a radical new design, and a price that can undercut rival Android phones – although carrier-specific versions might be pricier. The Pixel 6 is a more premium device than its predecessors, delivering a sleeker design and more powerful cameras. Most notably, it packs Google’s new Tensor chipset, the first silicon built by the company. However, if you were expecting a powerhouse to rival the Apple-built A-series Bionic chipsets in iPhones, you’ll be disappointed. The Pixel 6 isn’t slow, but its benchmark results put its performance capability around atypical phones such as the That’s okay for a phone at the Pixel 6’s price, though. The phone also packs 8GB of RAM, 128GB or 256GB of storage, and a 4,612mAh battery, which lasts around a day. The 6.4-inch Full HD (2400 x 1080) OLED display is larger than the screens that accompany most flagships, and with a 90Hz refresh rate, offers smoother browsing than phones that max out at 60Hz – although 90Hz is really the minimum we’d now expect to see on a phone in the Pixel 6’s premium-mid-range price tier. Nevertheless, it will be the phone’s cameras that many Pixel fans will likely be most excited about. Google finally gives us higher-megapixel sensors ...

But with a great phone comes great responsibility, namely the need to get the most from your new mobile powerhouse. After all, there's no point owning one if you don't use it to its full potential. I'm here to help on that front, with this guide to how to get started with your Google Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro.

Notification history keeps a record of every notification you've received in the past 24 hours, so if you accidentally swipe a bunch away, they're not lost. To turn the feature on — and to use it once it's active — go to Settings> Notifications> Notification history. 2. Enhanced auto-rotate (Image credit: Tom's Guide) This is definitely one of my favorite new features on the Pixel 6: It uses the front-facing camera to detect when you're laying down and disables auto-rotate for you.
