Last year’s Pixel phone might have been unambitious, but this year’s pair look to be a real treat. Google’s finally got its own chip, the Tensor, alongside the Titan M2 coprocessor for better security. (Given the Pegasus spyware incident this summer, it’s a welcome and well-timed addition.) There’s plenty of new software features, like Live Translate and Material You, the latter of which will allow you to customize your home screen’s look even more. But this past year has been a pretty decent year for phones, and below you can see how the Pixel 6’s new gussied-up insides compare to some of the other stellar flagships we’ve seen in 2021. And be sure to check out our hands-on, as well as our full review later this fall.
