Pixel 6 Pro photo and video samples leaked via highly unlikely source

We’ve seen plenty of details from the Pixel 6 series appear in recent months, thanks in large part to Google itself. But upcoming flagships have also been leaked a lot, and we have another big leak today.

YouTuber M Brandon Lee of This is Tech Today obtained video of the Pixel 6 Pro from a source in Nigeria, showing a subtly curved screen (go to 1:57). Lee’s source was also able to offer a variety of images (4:46) and a few videos taken with the Pixel 6 Pro itself.

It should be noted, however, that the camera app appears to be pre-production software that lacks a variety of previously disclosed features. So we would expect more modes and better picture quality with commercial devices.

What about the picture quality?

Besides the pre-production nature of the software, judging image quality via video is also a challenge. Still, the images seem to show a wide dynamic range, good resolvable level of detail, and colors that don’t seem to go the oversaturated route.

The metadata of the 1X photos also shows that the images are 12.5 MP in size. Coincidentally, this is the pixel resolution of a 50MP sensor. We’re also getting confirmation of an f / 1.85 aperture for the primary shooter. Otherwise, Lee notes that the ultra-wide camera metadata also indicates an f / 2.2 aperture and a resolution of 12.5 MP.

The source also shared 1080p / 60fps video samples with the YouTuber, but these clips don’t look anything special compared to the previous Pixels.

As for the fact that this leak comes from Nigeria? We assume that Lee went to great lengths to protect the source, as the person responsible for the leak is either associated with Google or a transport partner (rather than an enthusiast who somehow bought a first unit. ).

However, Google has never officially launched Pixel phones on the African continent, and it doesn’t look like that will change with the Pixel 6 series. So it stands to reason that this is not an employee of the carrier. . It’s also worth noting that I’ve seen South African Googlers with Pixel phones in the past, although the phones haven’t officially been released here.
