Leaked Google Pixel 6 teasers claim five years of Android security updates

Google/Carphone Warehouse

If there's one reason Google wants you to choose its upcoming Pixel 6 flagship phones, it's the more extended access to security updates. Leaker Evan Blass shared teaser pages from Carphone Warehouse that promises "at least" five years of security updates, which is a year longer than Samsung's promise. That means your Pixel 6 will receive up-to-date protection as late as 2026.

The teaser also shares camera features like Magic Eraser, which takes out photobombers; Face Unblur, which keeps subjects in focus; and an ultra-wide front camera for group shots. The Pixel 6 is said to have a 50-megapixel main sensor, 12-megapixel ultra-wide, and the Pixel 6 Pro gets an additional 48-megapixel telephoto lens.

Battery life for the Pixel 6 is said to last past 24 hours, "even on 5G." It'll reportedly have fast 30W wired charging and reverse charging through Battery Share. There will also reportedly be a new "twice as powerful" Pixel Stand on offer.

The screen sizes are 6.4-inch for the Pixel 6 and 6.7-inch for the Pixel 6 Pro, both with Gorilla Glass Victus protection and IP68 water and dust resistance. The Pro will get the 120Hz refresh rate, while the standard model will get a Smooth Display, which is believed to be a 90Hz refresh rate.
