The Google Pixel six and Google Pixel half-dozen Pro are coming on October 19, merely I simply saw both unreleased smartphones on full brandish ahead of the official launch effect.

For the past few weeks leading up to the Google Pixel 6 event, the Google flagship store in New York City has had both versions of its upcoming smartphones in the window. Tom'due south Guide reported a 2nd-mitt account of the company'southward clever tease in September, but I finally had the chance to visit the phones myself.

I arrived at the store generally by accident. As I was walking between meetings, I looked up to my correct and there the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro were, encased for a passerby similar myself to see.

In the crowded Chelsea neighborhood, folks weren't lining up to marvel at Google's new handsets. It's not similar it'due south the Mona Lisa, but I bet if Apple put out the iPhone thirteen before it came out in the Fifth Avenue's drinking glass cube crowds would consistently gather.

Regardless, I appreciated the Pixel 6'south unassuming brandish for the sake of examining and photographing the phones up close. I even captured a TikTok (accept you followed Tom's Guide on TikTok nevertheless?) — check it out below.

Both upcoming Pixels have a colour-block blueprint, consummate with a horizontal camera assortment. Of all the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro colors, the Pixel six on brandish is a salmon pink while the Pixel 6 Pro is a pale yellow with gold accents. I would've like to come across the Sorta Sage hue in the regular Pixel 6, since the color is currently on-trend, but I judge I'thousand lucky to have seen the phones at all.

The telephone's rounded edges await especially attractive on display. It lends a softness to the blueprint that makes the Pixel 6 seem like a pleasure to hold. Of course, the telephone experts here at Tom's Guide will need to go hands-on with the new phone to verify or deny.

Similarly, the physical brandish hides the phone's display, so I can't say how vivid or responsive or rich it looked. I take used beta versions of Android 12, then I can imagine what it might look like on the Pixel six. All the same, without seeing the new Google Pixel 6 Tensor chip in activity, there'south no telling what experience users can expect.

Sure, it was a pleasant surprise to see the phones ahead of their official launch, only it left me wanting to know the whole flick — not just what I can see behind the glass.

Luckily it won't be long now until we know everything the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have to offer. The Pixel Autumn Launch 2021 effect is taking identify on October 19 at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET.
