It’s minor, but at certain angles, the color seems to shift, especially when looking at bright UI elements. The other quirk about this display is the quality at different viewing angles. Rather, I would have liked to see Google using an LTPO(Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) panel with a variable refresh rate, as that can have an impact on battery life. I do wish this was a 120Hz panel, but not because of the higher refresh rate. You can definitely tell the difference between 1080p and 1440p when putting the Pixel 6 and the Pro side-by-side, but on its own, the 1080p panel holds up just fine. The 6.4-inch 1080p display is an AMOLED panel that’s sharp and bright enough for outdoor use, but there’s nothing particularly spectacular about it. The display in between those bezels can be described similarly it’s fine. Simply a good display nothing more, nothing less

Still, the bezels on this phone are far from large, and they’re not obnoxious by any means. Perhaps the only negative of the design comes from the screen bezels, which are just a bit bigger than the average. Practically speaking, too, the matte texture on the rails gives this phone more grip (which definitely needed with the glossy glass back). Visually, it’s a more inviting and unique look, and I feel the black rails help the camera visor blend into the design. The design of the smaller phone in Google’s lineup is one that, personally, I much prefer to the Pro. It has the matte black rails of the Pixel 4, a milder version of the Pixel 2 XL’s two-tone look, and the pastel colors with whimsical names that only Google could come up with. Out of this year’s two flagships, the standard Pixel 6 is the one that best keeps up this tradition. The look and feel has, of course, evolved over the years, with the Pixel 4 series adopting matte black rails and a larger camera module, but they’ve all felt like they fit into Google’s aesthetic. Each device, especially from the Pixel 2 forward, has had a distinct look and feel that could only come from Google. If there’s one thing that’s always been true about Pixel designs, it’s that they’ve always stood out. Hardware Google’s signature style meets the mainstream Our review of the Pixel 6 speaks largely in comparison to the “Pro” model, so we highly recommend you to read our review of that device here for more information on new features and more context about this release. The standard model, however, takes a step back with a design that feels more Google-ly, with specs that hold up to that flagship and a price that arguably makes it the best deal for a smartphone today. The Pixel 6 series is a reinvention of the company’s smartphone lineup, and that’s obvious on the Pro.
