Google today announced its latest flagship smartphones, the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro. The two new devices are already garnering positive reviews for their high-end feature set available at an affordable price tag.



Priced at $599 and $899, respectively, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are Google’s first smartphones that are equipped with the Google Tensor system-on-a-chip, which Google designed.
