Even though the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have not fifty-fifty been announced, that hasn't prevented accompaniment makers from selling cases online.

That'south exactly what happened when Amazon vendor Sucnakp listed a Pixel 6 Pro example on the website for effectually $nine. The case was listed on June 3, and is actually notwithstanding bachelor for buy equally of publication. The folks over at Phandroid took it upon themselves to order this case and audit information technology for themselves. And equally suggested past the Pixel 6 renders that have surfaced online, it seems that Google could be going through with the pronounced edge-to-edge camera crash-land.

As for the Pixel 6 case itself, information technology looks like information technology could be the same size every bit a OnePlus 9 Pro example. Much attending is being given to the large photographic camera bump on the back. Current rumors indicate to the Pixel 6 Pro having a 50MP main camera. There'south also a chance for some other 8MP telephoto camera sensor, based on rumors. Not much is known about the selfie camera at the moment unfortunately.

Considering that Google has some of the nigh advanced photograph processing software on the market, pairing a powerful 50MP sensor with that colour scientific discipline should give it a huge leg-upwardly in its fight against Apple and Samsung.

Before fans start speculating most the final design of the Pixel half dozen Pro, there's one major caveat. The case that'south available looks to be based on renders developed by Jon Prosser of Forepart Page Tech. According to Prosser, he noticed that Sucnako did a poor job of removing his watermark, which was visible on the list's product photos. (The watermarked photos have since been removed.)

Prosser used images sent to him to create his renders. While Prosser'due south renders are impressive, there's a risk that the last pattern may have changed. So, conceivably, this case manufacturer could have jumped the gun on selling this example. But it's more likely that the example manufacturer used the same CAD renders that were sent to Prosser.

Information technology's not unusual that phone accessory makers would prove off cases this far in advance, as case makers become access to dummy units early and tin sometimes show off their products in accelerate to generate fizz prior to a phone's launch. But the appearance of this supposed case doesn't mean the Pixel half dozen launch is imminent.

At the moment, Prosser believes the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro will come out erstwhile in October, which happens to exist the month of previous Pixel flagship releases. That'southward still four months out.

Either fashion, we'll continue keeping a close eye on Pixel 6 developments, with a review coming upon release. Perhaps it'll brand our best Android phones list.
