In 2020 the Google Pixel 5 appeared on the market as a solo smartphone, there was no Pro version of the phone.
Even by itself, it managed to impress with excellent value for money, clean software and a fantastic camera. In fact, it was one of the best smartphones released last year.
We've been expecting big things from the Google Pixel 6 and we haven't been let down, there are some impressive specs powering the new handset, and to see a higher-spec Google Pixel 6 Pro is even better!
