The first two tweets in the Twitter thread highlight the Pixel 6’s hardware design and the software interface. In subsequent images, we are also seeing some real-life images of the handset, a new case, and the newcharging brick that Google won’t ship with the device.

Moving on to other tweets in the thread, we see theLive Space (upgraded version of At a Glance) widget with flight card details,including the gate number, seat number, and a QR code. This should help users in the flight check-in process and easily locate their flight in a bustling airport.

Up next, we have the new Pixel Stand and the Pixel Security app which will combine all the existing security features in one place (nothing new here). In the Pixel Stand’s render, we get to see thePixel Stand charging UI with media playback and smart home controls. At first glance, it seems more useful than theGoogle Assistant ambient mode. You also have the option to switch between Performance and Quiet modes, presumably to control the Stand’s fan speed.

Coming to the Pixel Security app, the app lists various security features that you already get on your Pixel phone. Interestingly, the Pixel Security app also mentions the presence of face unlock in the Pixel 6 series.
