It has been more than an year now since Google launched arguably its two most iconic Pixel phones to date, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The tech giant came out with a bold new design that proved there are still ways to make a phone look more unique and interesting, while also being beautiful and elegant.
Alongside the new design, though, there were also new dimensions to consider. Now we also have the Pixel 7 series, as well as many other new phone models that have come out since October 2021, when the Pixel 6 lineup launched. So, let's take a look at the size difference between Google's previous lineup and the other options that are currently on the market.

Pixel 6 vs. Pixel 6 Pro vs. Pixel 6a
Before actually pitting them against anything else, it is important to know how the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro differ from each other in terms of size.
As you can see, both of Google's new phones can be considered big, although the Pro version is noticeably taller. Living up to its name, the Pixel 6 Pro also has a higher screen to body ratio, making use of that extra size.
On the other hand, you have the more affordable Pixel 6a, which Google has focused on making compact and therefore significantly smaller than the more pricey models.
Pixel 6 vs. Pixel 7 vs. Pixel 6 Pro vs. Pixel 7 Pro
Now that the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are out, why not compare them with their predecessors and see what Google has changed with the new generation size-wise.
As you can probably tell from the images and numbers above, the Pro Pixel models don't differentiate that much between each other. The regular Pixel 7, however, has cut down a considerable amount of girth and weight, coming in with thinner bezels as well.
Pixel 6 vs Pixel 5 vs Pixel 4 vs Pixel 3
Pixel 6 Pro vs Pixel 4 XL vs Pixel 3 XL
Here we see some significant differences. Just like with the Pixel 6, the Pixel 6 Pro is quite a bit heavier compared to the Pixel 4 XL and Pixel 3 XL. This probably accounts for the hefty camera bar—as Google calls it—on the back of the device. The Pixel 6 Pro also beats its predecessors when it comes to height, while the width remains mostly the same.
Pixel 6 vs iPhone 13 vs Galaxy S21 vs OnePlus 9
Here's where things get a little more interesting. The Pixel 6 beats all three of its main competitors in terms of chunkiness, except when it comes to the OnePlus 9, which is a bit taller and wider in comparison. Hopefully Google releases a smaller pixel sometime in the future for those who prefer more compact form factors. Otherwise, there are always the pixel 5 and 5a for instance. All pixels from Pixel 3 onwards will get Android 12, so you have options to choose from.

Pixel 6 Pro vs iPhone XS vs Galaxy Note 20 Ultra vs Galaxy Note 10 Plus
Now we finally reach the heavy weight category, where the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro mainly belong. Here, we finally meet some worthy contenders to the new Pixels when it comes to weight in size. Both the Galaxy S21 Ultra and the iPhone 13 Pro are quite heavier than the Pixels. Overall, though, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro start to look more normal in this category, with its height and width mostly staying within the norm when it comes to big phones. In other words, you won't find it drastically different.
So the takeaway here is that the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are big phones, but when compared to a similar form factor they actually prove lighter and even less wide. It remains to be seen how comfortable they will feel in real life. One key factor to pay attention to is the camera bar situated at the top of the device, which could create some uneven weight distribution. Nevertheless, lets wait and see how it feels in the hand and make our judgement then.
