Leaked specs show that previous 5G Pixel 6 Pro rumors are right on target

Leaked Specs indicate that we could see five years of software updates for the Pixel 6 Line

The Pixel 6 series will reportedly use a 5G modem supplied by Samsung and is related to the Exynos 5123. XDA found a reference to “g5123b” in the handset’s radio firmware. And at least in the states, the Pixel 6 line will support high-band mmWave 5G. These airwaves usually deliver the fastest download data speeds if you’re lucky enough to be in an area where there is such a signal.

Also corroborated by XDA is the triple-camera setup on the back of the Pixel 6 Pro with a 50MP GN1 sensor from Samsung, a wide-angle camera equipped with Sony’s 12MP IMX386 image sensor, and a 48MP telephoto lens with 4x optical zoom. The latter features Sony’s IMX586 image sensor. The hole-punch selfie snapper in the front could be a 12MP camera using Sony’s 12MP IMX663 sensor.

The Pixel 6 line should include support for ultra-wideband (UWB), a short-range wireless standard that Apple uses for the AirTags. It isn’t known yet how Google plans on using UWB although it could be for a tile-tracker or digital car key support. The latter might allow Pixel users to unlock their car doors using NFC or UWB. The Pixel 6 Pro will come out of the box with a digital car key app pre-installed.

The GPU is believed to be a Mali-G78 clocked at 848MHz.

As for the homegrown Google Tensor chip, a trip through the Geekbench benchmark test revealed a 2 x 2 x 4 core configuration which is believed to indicate that the component will feature 2x Cortex-X1 cores with a clock speed of 2.80GHz, 2x Cortex-A78 cores at a clock speed of 2.25GHz, and 4x Cortex-A55 cores running at 1.80. The GPU was listed on the benchmark test as the Mali-G78 clocked at 848MHz.

The entire phone was underwhelming and Google skipped the release of a premium model last year. But the Pixel 6 Pro on paper seems to have what it takes to be a contender. This time though, Google will have to deliver.
