Google, whilst launching its first-gen Pixel device hoped to showcase what it felt was the true version of Android, quite different from the stock android UI found on alternatives such as Nokia or Motorola.
With this, the company hoped to achieve massive success and, whilst the company has managed to capitalise on the former, for better or for worse, the latter seems to be a distant dream.
A key reason for this, for lack of a better word fall from existence, is the design or approach that the Pixel takes to the smartphone market. Rather than providing a flashy device with gaudy camera modules or branding, it chose to remain subtle, a bit too subtle according to some.
What it relied on for its success was its camera and, to the surprise of most, it managed to nail the optics, offering cameras that even on a bad day were able to match the iPhone and, at times beat it outright.
That being said, all of this never led to sales and, many feel that the cause for this is the vision that Google has for the product, relying on basic features and a groundbreaking camera. This is not enough in 2021 and, it seems the company has finally realised this after five years of disappointing sales numbers.
What leads to this statement is the leak that has surfaced via Jon Prosser, wherein the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are showcased and, if the products do turn out to look like this, then Google is up for a storm, for better or for worse.
Why Do The Pixel 6 Leaks Look Promising?

The first key difference that is apparent the moment one takes a look at these leaks is the presence of two devices in contrast to one device since the Pixel 5 was the only 5 series device to launch in 2020.
