Pixel 6 Pro versus Pixel 5a camera comparison: finally, an improvement!

With the new Pixel 6 Pro from Google, we’re finally getting a much-needed upgrade to the camera hardware since Google’s been relying on the same sensors for all of its cameras for a few years now. The highlight of the pixel 6 Pro is its new 50MP main camera sensor, but we’ve also been given a spectacular 48MP sensor that’s paired with a 4x periscope telephoto lens that is capable of capturing some stunning images as well. The Pixel 6 Pro also got an upgrade to its selfie cameras with a new 11.1MP sensor that also enabled 4K selfie video capture as well.

The question is: how much of an improvement do the new cameras on the Pixel 6 Pro actually deliver?
