Google Pixel 6/6 Pro - The Most Hidden Features Ever (Software & Hardware) 

I wanted to drop a comment about some of the features shared in this video to clarify some points: 1. Regarding the pressure sensitivity feature this is not a Pixel 6 or 6 Pro exclusive, some older models have it, also the video is intended to share the hidden features not only the exclusive features. 2. The camera lens wobbling is something that happens in any phone but the Pixel 6 Pro is noticeably louder than others so, I wanted to share this. Thanks for the comments and raising these points.

I really don't know how you manage to find so much hidden features I know most people have zero idea about.

If you use 2 fingers instead of only one to open the shortcut panel from the top you access it directly instead of needing 2 swipes.

The pressure sensitivity is kinda cool

Another useful mention - the pressure sensitivity is actually not exclusive to the pixel 6. The api is called "Deep Press" and it's been in android since version 10. Pixel devices got support for it with the march 2020 feature drop so you should be able to use it with others as well. Been using it on the 5 and now the 6 and its a really neat feature indeed but it takes some getting used to.

That rear sensor being dominant is probably what's been causing the issues with auto-brightness some reviewers mentioned, like being too jumpy. Nice work, digging through the phone to find this niche stuff!

Thank you for doing the work in showing us these features, issues and bugs. I hope Google notices the issues amd bugs quickly amd fixes them ASAP.

Most phones with OIS sensors make that wobbling sound. On my 6 without the telephoto it happens too. On my old Moto Z2 I remember hearing it and thought something had come loose in the phone. Even iPhones do this, so it's nothing to worry about. It's probably amplified by the larger lenses in the new phones as well, which makes it more noticable

I knew all these except the sensor at the back. Still watched the video anyway😅. Nice job Emad 👍🏿

Really good video!

So cool this channel exists. Great videos!

I'm pretty up on everything Google and Pixel and you had a lot in your video that I've not seen anywhere else, amazing work!

I always be exited when I saw your notification and still don't know y TBH 😅 BTW you doing a great job imraan 👍🔥

This is why this channel called IN DEPTH REVIEW 💫♥️

Liked it already!

Great, great video, Emad! 👌🙏

I have been an admirer of this channel from very early on and just looking at the growth makes me so happy. His success is pure hardwork.

5:15 I noticed it on my Pixel 4a too. However, for me, it's more about the area on which I tap than the pressure I use to tap. Greater the area, quicker the action taken.

And I was wondering if that rattle sound is specific to my unit since no one on the RU-vid reviews mentioned it. Now I know!

Thanks so much.

This man is on another level 🙌🏻

Thank you for the tips

I love these videos 🤩

Just now successfully tried the touch screen pressure sensitivity on my Pixel 4a! Don't know if placebo :p. Seems it is not something hardware related, at least not any extra hardware in the Pixel 6, but it is awesome that something like this exists on our phones!

back light sensor? wow thats awesome, i always wanted that

In relation to the 4 x Telephoto Lens noise, I read online that according to Google; "Pixel 6 Pro’s tele camera for 4x optical zoom has a voice coil motor (VCM) to focus the camera quickly. If you shake the phone, VCM may make a slight rattling noise. This is normal and does not impact camera use."

Nice video

Hi, Face unblur works on the selfie camera too. I got a few shots with my son and me. Regarding the camera noise, it's normal, and it's like this on numerous smartphones. Good work, great channel!

Hmm, always something new.... Great

Was clear ❤️❤️

I was so worried i got a damaged piece because of the wobble sound of camera ,you are person who answered it with a proof ,and i am a fan bruh

oh, the automatic switching from telephoto to wide angle is driving me crazy. thanks for spotting that out. I hope Google fix it

Emad, brother your videos are awesome. I always check your channel for new videos. Greetings from Turkey.

While playing around with the lens switching I found that long-pressing the image while in the camera app launches google lens for whatever you were looking at

I actually learned a couple of things on my phone I thought I knew almost everything, thank God I bought the pixel 6 pro🙏🏽

amazing guy

Hi, do you know if the P{pixel 6 Pro is compatible with the Dji OM5 ?

The 2 edges curves on the Google Pixel 6 Pro version is not working : on the very left side of the one hand keyboard, the P letter is working randomly (as it s placed on the edge).

The touch screen pressure Works on pixel 5 too! Nice!

Correct me if I'm wrong but i think the 2 cutouts between the lenses are part of the laser autofocus system. If you point a camera at the backside of the 6, you can see that the left cutout is the diode. I covered up each indiviual sensor on my Pixel 6 and it seems like its using the spectral and flicker sensor for brightness adjustments.

Thanks for the hidden features. Idk why they don't reveal it. Do you know,?

Well I'm now convinced to upgrade my Pixel 3 ✨😭

Of all the videos I've clicked on/watched because of promises that the viewer would come away from it having learned about as yet unknown Pixel 6/6 Pro features, this video has blown EVERY SINGLE ONE of the others out of the water in terms of delivering on that claim, and there are a several metric shit tons of content creators churning out over-hyped/over-promised and under-delivered Pixel 6 line content these days, so the competition pool is friggin HUGE. I generally don't come away from those videos having learned a single thing that I didn't already know all about, however, the exact opposite was true of this particular video. Of the ten topics (which btw, are given WITH TIMESTAMPS in the description, not treated like closely guarded secrets, the great mysteries of which may only be bestowed upon a select few chosen ones after completing a series of feats of strength challenges, er... Ummm rather, after watching a bunch of ads and sitting through so many "this video is brought to you by...." (Read: "this video is click bait and not good for much else," hence the fact that they never deliver on the claims made in their titles)), I came away from the video with approx. 7 or so facts/features that I was mostly or totally unaware of prior and of the 3ish features that I had some knowledge of, the bredth of that knowledge was cursory, at best. Much deserved kudos to you, Mr. In Depth Tech Reviews, sir. *favorite "power user-level" tech highlight goes to the pressure sensitivity bit, fo sho. *favorite "pure entertainment value" bit, without question, goes to "why 2.9x exactly? I think 2.98567x Zoom would be more precise" 😂🤣 Seriously, I died a little bit.☠️👻 Best delivery evah 👏🙌 +1 subscribers! 🥇📈 "ALL NOTIFICATIONS/SMASH THAT BELL" 🔨🔔🔨 BONUS ACTIVATED! 🏆 edit/PS - I stumbled upon your video as a result of searching Google for a sensor that I learned was present on my Pixel 6 Pro, but as far as I can tell seems to be locked or it's functionality otherwise hidden from the majority of users or in any case hidden from me at the very least. The sensor that I am referencing here is the double twist sensor. Upon searching Google using those terms, your video was featured high up in the results. So I came into it under the impression that it would be one of the hidden features use schooled your viewers on. Alas, it was not to be. However, I wonder if you happen to have any knowledge regarding what this sensor might be used for, if anything and/or how one might unlock it? Or, do any apps, features (either current or in development/on the roadmap), functionality, etc. make use of it (however obscure or otherwise unknown to the general public it may be)? I haven't had a phone that featured double twist at least in a end user facing capacity since my Motorola Droid Turbo. Or maybe it was the Droid Maxx yeah, I think it was the Droid Maxx. Anyway, it was forever ago and while I liked the feature a great deal, those were carrier exclusive devices and as such had a locked bootloader(s), which is a topic that, in the best interest of everyone, myself included, I'd better refrain from commenting on, because if there's one thing where carrier devices are concerned that makes my blood boil, it's that..

The camera rattle also occurs in the OP 9Pro and S21U.

It's not pressure sensitivity, it is a software thing which came with the Pixel 4, if i remember correctly

That pressure sensitivity thing also works on my Pixel 4. I found out that it is done by measuring the touch area. If I put my whole fingertips on screen without hard pressure, it will also activate faster!!

First thing first like

Lower image quality on the selfie cam is probably because it's running through the same a.i. down sampling the main camera uses (50mp image gets outputted at 11mp or something like that)

Can i turn on and off the hdr in videos ?

What is the widgets at 0:36, the one in the middle side of the phone. Under those two circular widgets.

Do a giant camera test and comparison with iphone and other google phones please

The suspicious message warning has been there for awhile. I am still using a 2xl and that feature has been there for awhile now

Hey is pixel 6 pro support dul sim???

Looks like my Pixel 4a too has pressure sensitive display.

I wished that with the Pro they had skipped unprofessional bling like the curved display and the under display fingerprint sensor in favor of one thing: a headphone jack

is that the nightmare on elm street car?

Habibi explains it the best

I've just read a huge Reddit thread on r/GooglePixel on how bad the adaptive auto brightness is on the Pixel 6 models. Letting the back-side of the phone give more control over the brightness sounds odd, as people most likely have their phone facing downwards, which is also more likely to pick up a darker light value as opposed to the front side.

Hi there, it seems I can't turn on the Live Translate in Action like you do at 3:29, I tried to turn off and turn on again and again, when I go back to my text message, I didn't see it automatically translate to English or other languages, can you help me?

How much peak brightness nits in this device??

0:36 You unlock your phone and do not have the "At a glance" windget on your main page. How did you remove it?

Could you try to show people how good the haptics on the Pixel 6 or Pixel 4 are, if you turn on vibration in alarms, it tunes according to the music

Live translation is available on my Pixel 5. There is an option on the keyboard for that.

How do you manage to make videos and balance your work at the same time?

The live translate doesnt automatically translate languages for me for some reason, I have the feature turned on and the appropriate language downloaded. Am I missing a step here?

this guy is genius

interesting, 3D touch on Pixels?

Brother I like your intro music. Please tell me name of the music

3d touch is back on the pixel 6 ! 😂

I don't notice any difference when pressing or is it only the case with the Pro?

It’s possible hide the punch hole like the old pixel 3xl ??? Creating a black band

When I my finger goes on top of the camera while using most of the apps, the screen blacks out. Pixel 6 pro

Oh, and you can access the shortcuts panel with 2 fingers than 2 swipes. Dates back to Android 5.

That sensor is worth having

The conversation widget one by one size works for me on my pixel 4xl so it's not a pixel 6 exclusive

If I understood correctly, p6pro selfie goes from 0.7x to 2.9x. If this is true, then it covers a zoom interval 2.9/0.7 = 4 as the earlier pixels.

My pixel 6 has yet to receive the December update and it's December 9th

but id'like proxima Meta compare to live whe if you so we would develop and very pretty much for callable information data's of what finding out.

*Me as a smartphone user for about 15 years - I really wish to use SELFIE cam one day for FIRST time* For me Selfie-Cam is needed like.......... DVD-ROM in laptop/PC this days

Sound while shaking phone is caused by image stabilization

Please can you give me your wallpaper name ?

That clicky camera on the telephoto are normal. Even samsung and iPhones does that

Very disappointing, Face recognition is not available on Pixel 6, fingerprint recognition is really bad, many bugs, and motion sense swiping hand to move to the next songs is not available either. What is happening with this phone?

Please find how to record call with pixel 6 pro

So that's why my screen goes crazy when I use the flashlight.

try Extra Dim and Quick Tap

I think 2.98675x would be more precise 😂

Just realized that if you shake the phone in camera mode, it switches from selfie

The auto display brightness isn't smooth at all

its kind of pathetic that on a google phone ok google wont work for me . i,ve tried clear cache and changing settings with no effect

I hate the switching of telephoto... It's on my Samsung S20 Ultra as well.. so annoying

حبيبنا الأستاذ عماد، أحتاج رأيك في اختيار جهازي القادم: أنا مستخدم لسلسلة النكسوس والبكسل حتى بكسل 4 ومستمر عليه حتى الآن ودي أرقي جهازي ومهتم بعدة جوانب: 1. الكاميرا 2. 5G 3. يكون الجهاز مستدام لفترة 4 سنوات كمتوسط استخدام (من ناحية العتاد وكذلك النظام) حالياً محتار مابين البكسل 6 برو والـ S22 Ultra عندي إحساس إن البكسل رائد من ناحية الكاميرا خاصة بالصور و التصوير الليلي، أما من ناحية الفيديو أعتقد انه ممتاز و دقته ممتازة. ممكن الجانب السلبي فيه هو عدم تفعيل الـ 5G عندنا بالخليج. في الوقت ذاته أشوف الـ S22 Ultra عبارة عن عتاد قوي جداً ولا يوجد له منافس ولكنه يفتقر إلى لمسة قوقل من ناحية البرمجيات وخاصة في التصوير. أعتقد أني أطلت الحديث ولكن بالود تطرح مقارنة مابين الإثنين وتعقّب على هالنقاط من واقع تجربة. مع الشكر والتقدير لجهدك الرائع 🙏

I see why I just got my pixel 6 for less than $200 this was supposed to be hidden features not hidden glitches/problems lol 😂

Mine doesn't wobble

is it just me or did he talk about the pixel 6 pro more

Screen call is not add

Ambient light sensing is hardly new or a secret. I've had many phones over the last 10 that had screens that adjusted to light levels.

So if you sit the phone down on its back the screen brightness is gonna go down? 🥴

You mistaken features with "observations"

I want your pixel wallpapers
