Cameras

Hello 📷 bar!#Pixel6 Pro has 3 cameras, including a telephoto lens with a 4x optical zoom.#Pixel6 has the same great cameras as #Pixel6 Pro, just no telephoto. We’re leaving telephoto to the pros, you could say 😉

Benefits Of Tensor

The highlight of Tensor is that it can process Google’s most powerful AI and ML models directly on #Pixel6.

You’ll see a transformed experience for the camera 📷, speech recognition 🗣️ and many other Pixel 6 features.

Material You will be best on #Pixel6.

The colors, the camera, the form, and what’s on the screen all work together in a single, fluid experience.

Google Tensor allows us to make big leaps in:

Voice commands
Translation

& Dictation
