It’s a good time to fall for the Google Pixel 6. It currently benefits from an immediate discount of 40 euros, bringing its price down to just 609 euros. With the Pixel 6, Google has surely released one of its best smartphones, here’s why it’s an offer not to be missed
Launched at the end of last October, the Google Pixel 6 immediately established itself as the flagship with one of the best value for money at the moment. Not only is it an ultra-versatile, powerful and gifted smartphone in photography, but in addition its launch price was below 650 euros. The editorial staff of Frandroid noted in its test: “its ultra-aggressive price clearly makes it the best value for money between 500 and 800 euros“.
For the first time since its launch, its price has just dropped. Until Sunday March 27, the Google Pixel 6 benefits from an immediate reduction of 40 euros at Boulanger. Its price thus goes from 649 euros to 609 euros. This is the best price currently seen on Google’s latest smartphone.
Here are three reasons why it’s one of the best smartphones we can recommend to you right now.
One of the best camera phones of 2022
It’s very simple, the Pixel 6 is today the best photophone that you will find around 600 euros. Unlike many of its competitors, however, the Pixel 6 has “only” two photo sensors on its back: a 50-megapixel main sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens sensor.
He doesn’t need more, these two sensors simply work miracles. In broad daylight, the Pixel 6 is able to transcribe any scene to perfection: the photos are detailed and sharp, even when the light is difficult.
Special mention also to the portrait mode of the phone, which has a recognizable stamp among all: the bokeh effect is perfectly marked and the faces always stand out with a lot of naturalness. On Instagram, we can quickly recognize when the portrait comes from a Pixel as the effect is so successful.
Night photography is also an area in which the Pixel 6 excels: the rendering is very natural and the atmospheres authentic. Unlike many of its competitors, the photos are not saturated with artificial colors.
The Pixel 6 also has a stunning Night Mode, for use in really dark situations. The photo below, taken with a Pixel 6, speaks for itself: this smartphone simply sees better than human eyes in very low light.
What is most remarkable with the Pixel 6 is that photos of this quality are generally found on devices sold between 800 and 1200 euros. Such versatility is unprecedented on a smartphone sold today 609 euros.
A powerful and intelligent smartphone
Photo excellence is not a first in the Pixel range, it has even been the hallmark of previous Google Pixels. For this Pixel 6, the Google teams have gone even further by designing a smartphone with high-end technical specifications.
The Pixel 6 therefore has all the components expected of a good premium smartphone of 2022: a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen with Full HD + definition (1,080 x 2,400 pixels) at 90 Hz, 128 GB of storage space, a 4614 mAh battery and to animate all this a unique chip on the market, the Google Tensor.
It’s an SoC, the heart of the phone’s power, designed specifically for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro by Google engineers. The results it produced in our tests are impressive for a first. If we stick to raw performance, the Google Tensor SoC broadly equals the best high-end chips in current smartphones. During its test, Frandroid pointed out “the exemplary fluidity of the Pixel 6”, largely due to this chip.
But the Google Tensor is not a SoC like the others. It is a chip that shines in the field of AI and photo recognition. This is what partly explains why this smartphone is so good in photography… but also in translation, recognition of images, music or even colors. If the interface of the Pixel 6 adapts to the colors of your wallpaper, it is partly thanks to it.
The best tracking software on an Android smartphone
A technical sheet designed by Google teams is good. But that the software layer is directly managed by the teams behind Android is even better.
The interface and tracking of updates are indeed among the biggest strengths of the Pixel 6. Google’s promise on this subject is enticing: 5 years of security updates and 3 years of security updates. Minimum Android. No other manufacturer today offers such software monitoring on its smartphones.
This exemplary follow-up is the assurance of having a smartphone equipped with the latest security updates at all times and of benefiting from major Android updates for the next three years. The Pixel 6 is a smartphone designed to last: you won’t change it in two years because it will have become obsolete.
40 euros reduction on the Google Pixel 6 until March 27
The Google Pixel 6 is available at a price of 609 euros (128 GB version) instead of 649 euros in two colors: Ocean Gray or Carbon Black. If you order it from Boulanger, the French merchant also offers 4 months of free Spotify subscriptions.
