KEY POINTS

  • Google offered details about the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro in August
  • It promised to provide more information about the flagship smartphones
  • New set of leaks reveal crucial data about the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro

Several retailers have inadvertently revealed the full specifications and key features of the highly anticipated Goole Pixel 6 and Goole Pixel 6 Pro ahead of the tech giant's official reveal.

Unlike other tech companies, search engine giant Google has changed its approach in marketing its upcoming flagship smartphones. Instead of tightly keeping the product and its specs from consumers, Google already showcased the design of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro along with some of its features and specs in a Twitter thread last August.

Google confirmed it would officially launch the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro on Oct. 19, but it seems like some retailers have already released details the tech giant planned to reveal at the products' launch. Over the weekend, British retailer Carphone Warehouse mistakenly published marketing pages for Google's flagship smartphones earlier than scheduled.

This year's flagship smartphones from Google will reportedly have five years of Android security updates, according to leaks. The marketing pages also revealed the Google Pixel 6 Pro features a 6.7-inch display with a dynamic refresh rate ranging from 10 Hz up to 120 Hz.

The premium device reportedly boasts of a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, described as the toughest Gorilla Glass in the market.
