TL; DR
- A very reliable leaker has just started some renders from Google Pixel 6 Pro.
- The renders are a little different from what we saw last week.
- If these prove to be correct, the Pixel 6 Pro could be a love letter to Pixel fans.
Last week we were surprised to see a number of leaked renders for the upcoming list of Pixel flagships. However, the source of these renderings has an unreliable track record of leaks, so we were skeptical of their accuracy at this point.
However, now we have a number of CAD-based renders for Google Pixel 6 Pro by none other than Steve Hemmerstoffer, aka @ OnLeaks (above Digit.in). Hemmerstoffer is probably one of the most reliable smartphone leaks in the industry and has an incredibly accurate track record. It’s very likely that the Pixel 6 Pro will look pretty similar to what we’re seeing here. In particular, they aren’t too different from the originally leaked renderings.

What’s exciting, however, is that Hemmerstoffer’s renderings show a true flagship from Google with some exciting hardware features. Let’s get started!
Google Pixel 6 Pro
First, let’s get the details out of the way. After these leaks, the Google Pixel 6 Pro could have dimensions of 163.9 x 75.8 x 8.9 mm. At the thickest point with the camera, the thickness could be 11.5mm. The display would very likely be a curved OLED panel with a diagonal of 6.67 inches.
Hemmerstoffer’s renderings also seem to confirm several rumors. The selfie camera cutout could be centered (a first for a pixel), there could be a built-in fingerprint sensor (another first), and the rear camera module could have three lenses (another first). Notably, one of the cameras appears to be a periscope lens, which would be another first.
According to Hemmerstoffer, the phone could also support wireless charging and have two stereo speakers.
Unfortunately, such renders cannot give us any clues as to what is going on in the phone. However, we have reliable rumors to suggest that this is Google’s first attempt to use internal silicon, codenamed “Whitechapel”. However, that news was posted before we learned there might be a Google Pixel 6 Pro, not just a Pixel 6. It’s possible that this Pro model has traditional flagship silicon (possibly the Snapdragon 888) while the vanilla model has the Google branded processor. This is only one possibility, of course, and we have no evidence of it.
Regardless, the Pixel 6 Pro could be a competitor to something like a Galaxy S21 Ultra with a three-lens system on the back with a periscope lens, wireless charging, and a display that is sure to be excellent. That’s a $ 1,200 phone, which suggests the Pixel 6 Pro could be expensive. What do you think? Meet our poll above!
