The Google Pixel 6 offers a unique design with its custom camera bump that stretches across the back panel, creating a two-tone look. The phone's premium Gorilla Glass 6 panel and rounded matte aluminum frame provide a sturdy feel in hand, while maintaining IP68-rated dust and water resistance. The 6.4-inch flat AMOLED display features a punch hole for the selfie camera and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. Although it has a slower 90Hz refresh rate and lower 1080p resolution compared to the Pro model, the display remains decent with sharp visuals, smooth performance, and HDR10+ support. The Pixel 6 boasts the new 5nm Tensor chipset, which provides advanced machine learning capabilities, enabling features like automatic speech recognition and real-time translation. The camera processing is also improved, producing excellent photos with good sharpness, contrast, and dynamic range. However, the absence of a telephoto zoom lens and lower battery life are notable downgrades. The dual cameras include a 50MP main sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide camera, delivering great results in both bright and low-light conditions. The selfie camera produces sharp images with minimal noise and excellent dynamic range. Video recording capabilities are also impressive, with stable footage at up to 4K resolution and 60fps. Overall, the Pixel 6 offers a compelling package with its premium design, improved cameras, and advanced Tensor chipset. While it may not match the Pro model's features, it provides a competitive price point and is worth considering for those seeking a reliable Android smartphone experience.
The Samsung Galaxy M15 5G is a budget smartphone that packs a punch with its impressive features. The device boasts a stunning Super AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate, making it almost flagship-level. The phone's build quality is also noteworthy, despite being made of plastic, which gives it a premium feel. In terms of performance, the Galaxy M15 5G delivers decent results for a budget device. The camera setup is satisfactory, with a wide-angle sensor and macro mode that produces good-quality photos. However, the night photography mode didn't make much of an impact, and video recording tops out at Full HD at 30fps. One of the standout features of this phone is its massive 6000mAh battery, which provides an incredible 12 hours and 42 minutes of battery life according to PCMark benchmarking. The addition of 25W fast charging support is also a welcome feature. Other notable aspects of the Galaxy M15 5G include its dual-SIM capabilities with 5G connectivity, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3 support, and NFC for contactless payments. While not perfect, this phone offers an excellent balance of features at an affordable price point. The display, software, and battery life are particularly notable strengths that set it apart from other budget smartphones.
