Google "Pixel 6" is amazing!Surprising camera performance, letters, automatic translation of LINE

Check the appearance first

First, let's check the appearance. "Pixel 6" has a 6.4-inch, and "Pixel 6 Pro" has a 6.7-inch organic EL display. The size is also slightly larger according to the size of the display. Both weigh more than 200g, which is quite heavy, but the battery is also large, so you can carry it around without worrying about running out of battery. It also supports wireless charging and fast charging.

There is a black “camera bar” on the back where the camera is housed, and a two-tone design with different colors on the top and bottom is adopted. The unique coloring that other smartphones do not have is cute.

Pixel 6 comes in three colors: Stormy Black (left), Sorta Seafoam (center), and Kinda Coral (right).

Pixel 6 Pro comes in three colors: Stormy Black (left), Sorta Sunny (middle), and Cloudy White (right).

The latest Android OS "Android 12" has smartphone icons, widgets (mini apps such as clocks that can be displayed on the home screen), and setting screen backgrounds that match the color of the home screen wallpaper. Or, it has a function that can change the color of the keyboard to a unified color. The basic tone of this color is also thought to match the color of "Pixel 6" and "Pixel 6 Pro", so you can coordinate the outside and inside together.

You can coordinate the outside (hardware) and the inside (software).

A new feature is available that allows you to coordinate icons and widgets to match the tone of your wallpaper.

The camera performance is just amazing!

There are two cameras on the back: "Pixel 6" has an ultra-high-definition wide-angle lens and an ultra-wide-angle lens that can shoot wide, and "Pixel 6 Pro" has ultra-high-definition, 4x optical, and 20x digital. It has three lenses, including a telephoto lens. This camera is pretty cool.

The "Pixel" series has been equipped with an amazing camera that uses image processing technology using Google's AI. For example, in the night view mode, you can shoot as brightly as in the daytime, or you can shoot the starry sky. Even though the zoom is quite large, it does not look rough, and the image is sharp and clean. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro also use a new chip developed by Google to make this AI image processing incredibly fast.

This is a night view actually taken with the night view mode of "Pixel 6 Pro". The reflection of the window etc. is image-processed neatly and it is clear.

This is also an example of an actual flower. The color is natural and not too vivid.

By combining a high-definition camera and high-speed AI image processing, not only can you take extremely beautiful photos, but you can also enjoy a little surprising photo shooting and photo processing.

For example, "eraser magic". With a single tap, you can easily make a passerby in the background of a photo "thing that never existed".

In addition, in the mode called "motion", you can easily shoot dynamic photos and long exposure photos that require technique when you actually try to shoot. In addition to this, there is also a function that can sharpen a blurred face.

The editing tool "Eraser Magic" automatically selects candidates for erasing.

You can easily erase it with one tap.

An example of "Action Pan" that allows you to take dynamic photos in motion mode (courtesy of Google). "Action Pan" is a shooting mode that adds a bokeh effect to the background of a moving subject.

This photo conveys a sense of speed.

Of course, not only photos but also videos can be taken beautifully. Artist Kaze Fujii has released a promotional video on YouTube shot entirely with the Google Pixel, so be sure to check it out.

You can transcribe with the "Recorder" app

The camera is great, but the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have other cool features that use fast chips and Google's unique AI.

For example, the "Recorder" app has a function that records your voice and at the same time converts what you are saying into text. It also supports Japanese, and although the accuracy is not perfect, it is at a level where you can understand what you are talking about. It seems to be useful for minutes of meetings and records of lectures.

I used it for an interview. There are some strange places here and there, but I think the accuracy is enough to be used.

Also, if you use a function called "real-time translation", messages exchanged on LINE etc. will be automatically translated. When you communicate with foreign friends, you can copy each and every one to a translation app.

In addition, when watching an English video, it automatically adds subtitles to the video, and then translates it into Japanese and displays it, and a fluent interpretation function using a voice AI assistant. etc. are also available. If you have "Pixel 6" or "Pixel 6 Pro", it seems that you can easily overcome the language barrier.

English communication on LINE...

Since it is translated in real time on the LINE screen, it is very convenient because you don't have to switch apps.

Waterproof and dustproof, and equipped with Osaifu-Keitai. Biometric authentication supports in-screen fingerprint authentication.

Colorful and eco-friendly genuine cases made from recycled materials are also available.

"Pixel 6" will be released from au and Softbank, "Pixel 6 Pro" from Softbank, and can also be purchased at home appliance mass retailers. The selling price at the Google official store is 74,800 yen for "Pixel 6" and 116,600 yen for "Pixel 6 Pro".
