The [Pixel 6](https://www.androidpolice.com/google-pixel-6-review/) and [Pixel 6 Pro](https://www.androidpolice.com/google-pixel-6-pro-review/) are two of the best Android smartphones released this year, marking a return to form for Google after a few years of releasing largely uninspired, mid-range devices.
