Live Translate on Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro makes communicating in different languages easy. One can now translate your face-to-face conversations with Spanish, Italian, and French speakers right on a smartphone, as all translations stay on the device.
The Pixel 6 features a 6.4-inch OLED display, while the Pixel 6 Pro sports a 6.7-inch LTPO display that will come with a variable refresh rate ranging from 10Hz to 120Hz.

The phone ships with Android 12 out of the box with the Material You interface, and Google is promising up to five years of security updates.
In terms of optics, both phones have a 50MP sensor with an f/1.85-inch aperture and a 1/1.3-inch sensor size. Both phones also have a 12MP ultra-wide camera with 114-degree FOV.
The Pixel 6 Pro gets a third 48MP telephoto camera with 4x optical zoom and 20X digital zoom.
