Google Pixel 6 Pro A few days back, a few images, claiming to be alleged renders of  the upcoming   Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro  were released. After sources claimed that the images were true to the original, many more renders have surfaced  showing both models of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Specifications are still not available but we predict it to have Google's own silicon underneath. There is sadly no headphone jack(A common feature on all modern phones nowadays) and the Pixel 6 is said to measure around 11.8mm with the camera bump.The display is said to be 6.67" on the pro model and it may contain a telephoto sensor as well. We guessed the Pixel 6 to appear around Google IO 2021   along with the announcement of Android 12 , but now we estimate that the device would be available in either September or October of this year, along side the release of the next version of Android.  Source - GSMARENA   Pixel 6 Pro Pixel 6

According to Youtube tech news channel FPT, these are said to be the alleged renders of what the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro (Basically the Pixel 6 XL) would look like. The renderings, which are said to be based on alleged leaks provided to a third party renderer show that Google has really given some attempt at doing a full redesign of its phones unlike with the past two generations.  The designs show a stepped hump hiding an array of cameras with three on the Pro model (possibly without a periscope sensor) and two on the normal Pixel. The front facing camera has also been moved to the center unlike the Pixel 5 and there are also indications of an in-display fingerprint sensor being thrown into the mix as well. The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro specifications are not clear at the moment, but rumors do indicate that Google has been brewing their own silicon codenamed GS101 " Whitechapel" - this is said to be Google's own answer to the Snapdragon 8XX and the Apple AXX series with a three...
