Now talking about the display, we have known that the Google Pixel 6 will sport a 6.4-inch display while the Pixel 6 Pro comes with a larger 6.7-inch display. The leaked listing tells us that the Pixel 6 is going to have a high refresh rate without giving a number while the 6 Pro will feature 120Hz refresh rate and the display will have LTPO technology that can vary the refresh rate.

Both the phones will have IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, and they will come with Gorilla Glass Victus for improved scratch resistance. The phones are made of translucent material and are designed with over 30% post-consumer recycled plastics.

Camera

With this Carphone Warehouse listing, we also get to know more about the camera features of the upcoming devices.
