There is no shortage of Google Pixel 6 leaks, but according to the latest leaks, the new Pixel will be a powerhouse for photography
As revealed in a massive leak of marketing materials from Carphone Warehouse and older leaks, both the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will feature an arsenal of photographic tricks that will make them the best smartphone photos ever taken It seems
In fact, some of the rumored features are so good that they could be the best camera phones ever to surpass the iPhone 13
We believe there are three main areas where the Pixel 6 could surpass the iPhone 13 series in photography Here is a breakdown
Google and Apple were the only two smartphone makers to stick with a 12MP main sensor while cameras with a resolution of 48MP or higher became the norm, but rumors suggest that is about to change
Both the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are said to feature a 50MP main camera, which could capture much more detailed images than even the iPhone 13 Pro Max can
However, cameras are not defined purely by megapixels Sensor size, tuning, and post-processing all play a role in the overall quality of the final photo Given that Google has already shown that it can compete with the best camera phones in the world with the older Pixel models, the Pixel 6 series bodes well With a new, more enhanced camera, these models could be the Pixel to beat
On a similar note, the Pixel 6 Pro is rumored to feature a 48MP telephoto camera capable of 4x optical zoom and 20x digital "SuperRes" zoom iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are the highest offered in the iPhone magnification, but still only 3x optical and 15x digital
Some phones, such as Samsung's Galaxy S21 Ultra (10x optical, 100x digital), offer higher magnification than Apple and Google's products But again, Google's superior photo processing system could mean that the Pixel 6 Pro can beat other telephoto cameras when it comes to overall quality, even if the maximum zoom range is lower
The phone's built-in photo editor is incredibly powerful, but even the excellent system on the iPhone can't help if it gets photobombed or if the subject is moving too fast for the camera to focus But Google has the answer to both of these challenges with the Pixel 6, the leak claims
Magic Eraser, as the name implies, can easily remove background people and objects to design the perfect shot
Another rumored feature, Face Unblur, will sharpen blurry faces and make it easier to take action shots
While opening an image in one of the best photo editing apps will effectively do these things on any image from any phone, Google's apparent promise to do them from the phone without requiring new software is more appealing iOS's Photo editor is another thing it cannot currently match
It won't be long until we know for sure what the Google Pixel 6 is capable of; the Google Pixel event is set for October 19 at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET Tom's Guide will bring you updates on the day
