Design
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
The thickness (or depth) of the product.
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
The waterproof depth rating indicates how well the device is protected against water ingress and water pressure. Devices which can withstand more water pressure are better for swimming or diving.
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.

The minimum temperature at which the device can perform to the optimal level.
The maximum temperature at which the device can perform to the optimal level.
Display
The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience.
The type of technology used in the display.
Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch (PPI) on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.
Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.
The frequency at which the screen is refreshed. Higher frequency results in less flickering (less noise) and more natural movement representation in action-intense scenes.
A nit is a measurement of the light that a display emits, equal to one candela per square meter. Brighter displays ensure a screen's contents are easy to read, even in sunny conditions.
Damage-resistant glass (such as Corning Gorilla Glass or Asahi Dragontrail Glass) is thin, lightweight, and can withstand high levels of force.
The display supports HDR10, which is an HDR (high dynamic range) video technology. Compared to standard dynamic range (SDR) video, HDR10 video has greater contrast and color depth, resulting in more realistic images.
The display supports HDR10+, which is an improved version of HDR10 video technology. HDR10+ uses dynamic metadata so that each frame can have its own settings for contrast, brightness, and colors, which results in lifelike images.
Performance
The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of volatile memory used to store working data and machine code currently in use. It is a quick-access, temporary virtual storage that can be read and changed in any order, thus enabling fast data processing.
AnTuTu is one of the most important benchmarks for Android devices. The score reflects the overall performance of a device by summing up results of individual tests that various parameters, such as RAM speed, CPU performance, 2D & 3D graphics performance.

CPU speed
2 x 2.8GHz & 2 x 2.25GHz & 4 x 1.8GHz (Google Tensor)
2 x 2.85GHz & 2 x 2.35GHz & 4 x 1.8GHz (Google Tensor G2)
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
Cameras
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the front camera. A higher megapixel count means that the front camera is capable of capturing more details, an essential factor for taking high-resolution selfies.
Optical image stabilization uses gyroscopic sensors to detect the vibrations of the camera. The lens adjusts the optical path accordingly, ensuring that any type of motion blur is corrected before the sensor captures the image.
The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
With a wider aperture the sensor can capture more light, helping to avoid blur by enabling a faster shutter speed. It also provides a shallow depth of field, allowing you to blur the background to focus attention on the subject.
A dual-tone flash has LED lights with different color temperatures, delivering a better color balance to photos and videos.
A BSI (backside illuminated) sensor is a camera image sensor which captures better quality images in poor lighting conditions, and offers better overall sharpness and image quality.
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
Phase-detection autofocus is much faster than a contrast detection autofocus, allowing for sharper images.

This device has excellent feature set, and the display is as close to perfect as it gets. The camera quality is impeccable, as expected. The battery life is poor in my opinion, especially compared to other flagships, and even more so when considering the size of the battery. Hopefully battery life can be improved with updates. The Android experience on this device is the best you're going to get on any Android device. If you're a light user of your phone and take a lot of photos, this is probably the device for you. If you're looking for something to last you all day with consistent usage, look elsewhere.

Generally a good phone . Screen is somewhat disappointing as in it could do with being brighter , 500 nits screen brightness is a bit miserly. I experienced screen envy when I took a look at a few other phones after buying the pixel 6 IE iPhone 13 (800 nits) and a Samsung S22( very bright). The whites of the screen also have an off tinge to them . This isn't just my phone a friend has the Pro model and the screen has a similar tinge . Camera is very good , white balance much improved compared to previous pixels, although camera can sometimes under expose a little or overdo the dynamic range somewhat. The phone had its glitches during the initial set up IE it became red hot , camera would freeze but after a week no issues experienced! Aesthetic wise, the pixel 6 is a beautiful phone. I find it too big and awkward to hold and I have pretty big hands . Hopefully the pixel 7 will have at least 800 screen nits as standard manual brightness and the problems with tensor chip will be ironed out plus a smaller form factor !
