Given all of this, it appears like the Google Pixel 6 Pro will be a genuine flagship, which would be good given that Google only released mid-range phones last year.

It’s less clear how the regular Pixel 6 will be positioned — it’ll obviously be below the Pro, but whether it’ll be a mid-ranger like the Pixel 5 or a high-end device like the Samsung Galaxy S21 and OnePlus 9RT remains to be seen.
