Ahead of its launch on October 19, it seems as if retailers and Google are playing a game of chicken about who can leak the most information about its two upcoming flagship phones; the Google Pixel 6 and Google Pixel 6 Pro. Google’s Pixel line of smartphones has traditionally been the flagship of the Android armada for those of us who like our Android operating system as un-adorned as possible. After a somewhat underwhelming Pixel 5, which meant that the company had a number of mid-range phones and no real flagship to speak off, Google seems to have learned its lesson. With the un-Apple-y approach of leaking its own device a few weeks before launch, all googly eyes are on the duo of upcoming phones.

As the launch date crawls closer, the pace of information being pushed on the public hasn’t exactly slowed. Over the weekend, U.K. phone store Carphone Warehouse published its sales pages for the two phones. Of course, the retailer yanked the pages as soon as they could, but not before an eagle-eyed leak-hunter snagged some screen shots. In addition, Google has started advertising the yet-to-be-shipped pocket computers in a variety of media, too, presumably in the hope that some doubters will hesitate for long enough before pressing the buy-it-now button on Apple’s recently launched iPhone 13 series. In the advertising and marketing activities, which started all the way back in August, Google is highlighting some of the advantages it has over its Cupertino-conceived cousin, and staking out the competitive landscape.
