Google announced its much-hyped flagship phone the Google Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro yesterday amidst great fanfare. Android fans have been waiting for Google’s answer to the iPhone which keeps introducing new phones into the market with regularity.
The wait was worth it with Google’s new phones having a strikingly bold design and a host of new features that are bound to titillate the core Android fanbase that the Pixel phones enjoy.
The most prominent feature is that of the camera bar at the back. This design feature breaks the mould of the flat front and back designs that all phones have been sporting. One of the reasons that Google gave for this protrusion is that it was simply impossible to accommodate all the features of the camera into the standard design. Android geeks are excited as if there was too much to pack in, it must be way better than the iPhone.
Another fun feature was the ability to set the colour tone of your phone’s display. This means that every Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro phone will look different from each other once the phones are switched on. This also plays nicely into the individualistic characteristic that android users enjoy when compared to the homogeneous iPhone users.
For the first time, Google has also announced that they will be using their own processor called Tensor chipset following the footsteps of Apple, Huawei and other major brands. What the capability of this processor is and how it will stack up against the other in the market is yet to be seen. Additionally, there is an extra security chip that will also be part of the new phones.
India, unfortunately, has missed out on the flagship phone launches for a while now. Even Googles previous phones like Pixel 4 and Pixel 5 were not launched along with the rest of the world in India. India on the other hand got the cheaper, budget version which was the A series like Google Pixel 5A.
Our sources at the Google HQ in Hyderabad told us that it is very highly unlikely that the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6Pro will get an early launch in India. The cheaper version might also not reach the market to coincide with the global launch.
“The Indian market is huge and we understand that. However, there are too many players in the market, especially Chinese brands like Xiaomi, Redmi, One Plus, Huawei etc who compete for the mass market. To be honest there is no fight at the top. The top end of the market is dominated by Apple and Samsung.”
