Google/Carphone Warehouse

If there's one reason Google wants you to choose its upcoming Pixel 6 flagship phones, it's the more extended access to security updates. Leaker Evan Blass shared teaser pages from Carphone Warehouse that promises "at least" five years of security updates, which is a year longer than Samsung's promise. That means your Pixel 6 will receive up-to-date protection as late as 2026.

The teaser also shares camera features like Magic Eraser, which takes out photobombers; Face Unblur, which keeps subjects in focus; and an ultra-wide front camera for group shots. The Pixel 6 is said to have a 50-megapixel main sensor, 12-megapixel ultra-wide, and the Pixel 6 Pro gets an additional 48-megapixel telephoto lens.
