The Google Pixel 6 already has an official teaser, but one of our questions may have been answered by Google in an accidental way.

Twitter eagle-eyed Cstark27 (via 9to5Google) discovered a reference to the upcoming Pixel 6 series in the line of code that makes up the latest update to the Google Pixel Camera app. Furthermore, this reference appears next to the string "gn1_wide," which tells us that the main camera on these phones may use a 50MP Samsung camera sensor.

One can infer this from the fact that GN1 is the name of the camera sensor announced by Samsung in February: the ISOCELL GN1 (officially named GN1) is a 50MP sensor and features Samsung's dual pixel autofocus.

The Pixel 6's rumored camera also supports 4-in-1 "pixel binning," which collates data from four groups of pixels in the camera to create a single super-pixel. In other words, when this camera is included in the Pixel 6, Google will default the camera to a less detailed image with 12.5 MP resolution, instead capturing the light in a scene more effectively, especially when it is dark.

This information is consistent with previous rumors that both the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will feature 50MP main cameras. The rumor also states that the two models will use a 12MP ultra-wide camera, while the Pixel 6 Pro will add a 48MP telephoto camera to it.

Based on Google's previous release dates, the Pixel 6 is expected to be released in late September or October. Google has already told us about the new Tensor chipset that will be included in the Pixel 6 series, but we don't know anything specific about it yet, given its focus on AI capabilities.

Other things we are looking forward to in the Pixel 6 series include a new rear camera bar design and color options, Google's first under-display fingerprint reader, and a significantly upgraded 6.7-inch 120Hz QHD display.
