The Google Pixel 6 could be the most exciting Pixel ever. And it might even cost less than the iPhone 13.

YouTuber Brandon Lee of This is Tech Today via Android Central reports that according to his sources, the Google Pixel 6 will sell for €649 in Europe. The larger Google Pixel 6 Pro will reportedly be priced at €899.

If true, the Pixel 6 would only be a $50 price increase from last year's Pixel 5. Given that the Pixel 6 will feature Google's new custom Tensor chip, which is likely to be a game changer, it could very well be a great alternative to the iPhone 13 Pro Max could very well be a great alternative to the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

For comparison, the regular iPhone 13 starts at £779 for the 128GB model, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max starts at £1,049. This means that the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro could undercut the new iPhones by 130 pounds and 150 pounds, respectively.

Brandon's source is a person who works for a "huge major cell phone chain" in Europe. The source shared an image of a back-end inventory system, showing the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro code-named oriole and raven, respectively. Among other things, the screenshots showed the expected prices in Europe.

It should be noted that Lee was obtained from anonymous sources and is not necessarily the most reliable means of reporting. Ideally, more reliable reporting would require multiple sources or a single source willing to go on record. It is likely that this source wished to remain anonymous for fear of losing his job. Therefore, it is possible that the single screenshot of the back-end inventory system that Lee received is a fake. Until there are more confirming sources for this pricing information, it would be best not to believe it at face value.

In any case, according to Lee's sources and Jon Prosser of Front Page Tech, the announcement was made on October 19, with a release date of October 28.

Lee appears to have good inside information within Google's supply chain regarding the Pixel 6. Earlier this month, Lee obtained a video of a Pixel 6 Pro test unit. In the video below, we can see a light grayish carbon color. The fog color is supposed to be a lighter shade of green.

Of course, much of the talk surrounding color and design is no longer speculation. This is because Google has already released its Pixel 6 website, where we can see high-resolution images of the phone in a variety of colors. Not only that, but you can see the Pixel 6 on display in a glass box at the Google Store in New York City. Why fight the leakers when you can participate in the leaks?

In terms of specifications, the Pixel 6 will reportedly be slightly downgraded from the 6 Pro and will be more affordable. Current rumors and reports indicate that the Pixel 6 will feature a flat AMOLED 2340x1080 display at 90Hz; the Pixel 6 Pro will feature a curved 6.67" E5 AMOLED display with a resolution of 3120x1440 and a refresh rate of 120Hz The Pro's display will also support LTPO, allowing the refresh rate to be instantly reduced to 10 Hz to conserve battery power.

Internally, the Pixel 6 is said to have 8GB of RAM while the Pro has 12GB. Both models are said to have a 50MP Samsung GN1 camera and a 12MP ultra-wide lens. According to current reports, the Pro will also have a 48MP telephoto lens.

If all this is true, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro could be strong competitors to the iPhone 13. And for Android enthusiasts, they will likely get the more expensive Pixel 6 Pro.

Google has always struggled to define where the Pixel line should be positioned in the market. At one point, the Pixel was priced at a lower flagship price to beat out the competition. Over time, however, the Pixel raised its price enough to outperform phones like the iPhone 11. While the original Pixel was launched at $649, the Pixel 4 was launched at $799.

If the Pixel 6 price above is correct, the Pixel series will perfectly satisfy every segment of the market, undercutting Apple where it matters and hopefully offering powerful photo processing as well.

When the Pixel 5a was $449, we hailed it as the king of affordable smartphones; the $749 Pixel 6 and its new Tensor chip undercut the iPhone 13 but may stall in performance. And the $1,000-plus Pixel 6 Pro may offer users the best camera performance in the Android market.

We look forward to testing both the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro to see how they stand up to the iPhone 13 and all the other best smartphones.
