The latest information on the Google Pixel 6 Pro appears to have leaked, confirming highly anticipated features on the display, camera, and other improved elements.

The latest details come from a report by XDA Developers, citing anonymous sources, which corroborates many of the previous leaks and adds more details, including details on the major changes being made compared to last year's Google Pixel 5.

According to the XDA leak, a brief breakdown is as follows.

The original article is as follows.

The Pixel 6 Pro's 120Hz display is one of the biggest new features, and according to this leak, it is well supported in the phone's software. It is possible to run at the full 120Hz rate with the phone's QHD resolution, and its adaptive features allow the rate to be reduced to 10Hz if necessary to save battery life. It is unclear if the refresh rate is fully variable or if it can only jump between several fixed refresh rates.

The Pixel 6 Pro's camera has also been further spec'd out by this leak. Apparently, the main camera is the recently announced 50MP Samsung GN1 sensor, the ultra-wide and selfie cameras have 12MP sensors, and the new 4x telephoto camera has a 48MP sensor, all from Sony. These cameras may also feature a new "baby mode" and motion deblur effect, but no details beyond these names have been revealed.

The source's details about the Pixel 6 Pro's Tensor chipset seem to corroborate recent rumored Pixel 6 Pro benchmarks: the chip's frequency, core configuration, and 12GB of RAM seen in Geekbench 5's browser entry, all consistent with what XDA Developers has heard from sources.

Within the body of the Pixel 6 Pro, sources claim that ultra-wideband (UWB) communications are supported. This is a useful feature for communicating with other devices over short distances, which is why Apple and Samsung have adopted it for their AirTag and SmartTag Plus trackers. From what we've heard, no Google-made trackers are in the works, but UWB could be used in a car key app that is said to be built into the Pixel 6.

But there is some bad news for long-term Pixel users: the Active Edge is not coming back. This was a feature of the Google Pixel 4 series and earlier Pixel phones that allowed users to call up the Google Assistant by squeezing the phone in their hand. Fortunately, there is an option to assign Google Assistant to the new Quick Tap gesture available in Android 12.

The XDA report also reveals that the Pixel 6 Pro uses a 5G Samsung modem. Given that last year's Pixel 5 was Google's first 5G flagship phone, it is not surprising that this phone is 5G capable.

Other specs mentioned by XDA include a 5,000 mAh battery, a significant upgrade from the Pixel 5's 4,000 mAh battery, a 128GB storage model, WiFi 6E, and a fingerprint scanner under the display. All of these have been rumored before, but the battery and fingerprint scanner are particularly interesting.

Google has never released a phone with such a large battery, nor one with a fingerprint scanner under the display. Rivals like Samsung and OnePlus have already employed these new technologies for several generations.

Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 6 series next month, in line with its history of October releases of premium Pixel devices; with so many rumored changes compared to the Pixel 5, Google ultimately Best Android Smartphone Guide, or overall best phones list, it will be interesting to try and see if it can make it to the top of the list.
