Real Tone will work with third-party camera apps as well. In addition to improved face detection, it improved exposure and color reproduction of darker skin tones, so they more accurately represent these communities without skin tones looking too bright, dark, saturated, or washed out.

These samples, along with feedback from dozens of photographers and cinematographers, let Google improve every aspect of capturing a person of color with the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro's cameras. It's a result of collecting thousands of photographs from visual artists whose works highlight communities of color.

Google talked about its Real Tone feature that's baked into Pixel 6 cameras. The front camera is now 11.MP with an ultra-wide lens and is capable of recording 4K video. Finally, the updated ultrawide camera is a 12MP sensor with 1.25µm pixels and an f/2.2 aperture lens. Using a combination of Super Res zoom and this optical 4X zoom, the Pixel 6 Pro can achieve up to 20X zoom. This 1/2" sensor has 0.8µm pixels and sits behind an f/3.5 aperture lens assembly. The other headlining camera is the 48MP periscope zoom camera with 4X optical zoom. On the Pro, 4K video recording is possible with the front camera, though only in 30fps. Pixels here are slightly larger at 1.22µm compared to 1.12µm on the Pixel 5. The Pixel 6 Pro has an updated 11.1 MP Selfie camera with a wide 20mm compared to the Pixel 5's 24mm lens. Despite the 50MP main sensor, images are output in 12.5MP. There's also a laser-assisted autofocusing module in the camera cluster, and the Spectral/Flicker sensor is back.

This sensor can pick up 2.5X more light than the previous 12.2MP sensor. The main camera is a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL GN1 1/1.31" sensor with dual-pixel autofocus and optical image stabilization behind an f/1.85 lens, and 1.2µm sized pixels - with pixel binning math that comes out to 2.4µm pixels compared to the Pixel 5's 1.4µm. All four cameras (three main + one selfie) bring newer, larger sensors, while the Google Tensor chip leverages the new camera hardware and shooting modes. The Google Pixel 6 Pro brings completely revamped camera hardware that was long overdue and highly appreciated.
