SMARTPHONE FRENZY
And also…
GOOGLE PIXEL 6 PRO
Price from £849 / stuff.tv/Pixel6Pro
The last couple of Pixel phones were so plain it was like the design process was skipped altogether. Call it minimalism if you like, but it didn’t help the Pixel 5 stand out. That changes here.
Google’s Pixel 6 Pro is one of the most striking phones you can get. With that bold camera ‘shelf’ and two-tone colourway nicked straight from an interior design TV show, the arty types in Google’s labs have finally been given a chance to show off. It’s all glass and metal too, and yet deftly undercuts both Samsung and Apple.
It means we can finally say Pixels aren’t just about the cameras and software. That said, you should still pick the Pixel 6 Pro for its cameras and software…
