They wanted to match their lineup with current offerings from Apple and Samsung. Think about it, they could've made a compact flagship, but then what about the 'big' grand flagship most people would expect? Yeah Asus spent a lot of care tuning their Zenfone 8 for a compact flagship, but they were only able to do it because they already have a giant competing flagship. People don't realise this, but Google has been so long out of the flagship game that they NEED to get back in the game urgently, and that means focusing on what matters the most, that's why they spent so long tuning Tensor and their new sensors to be good, then later they can make something more compact. Also, past pixels have not had great battery life, so Google is really making sure that this time they get it right, which maybe at the expense of size.
Give it some time and Google may as well come up with a compact Pixel 6e. :)

    Anonymous, 18 Oct 2021hmm why use cortex a-76 when the processor have cortex x1, ... moreThis is a problem with Google. Why can't they also use the biggest, beefiest Samsung GN2 instead of GN1 sensor? Wouldn't that make their cameras go from amazing to legendary? Bring in even more detail and contrast? Idk dude, maybe it's cause they want to fine tune their chips and sensor to their software for some time coming.

              Jimbob, 18 Oct 2021There is no regular size model. Just 2 large phones.... scr... moreCompanys only sell what will get them money. It's the main reason why the iPhone 12 mini didn't sell well. Not everyone wants a small phone and some people want maxed out phones, and a small phone can't contain everything in there. Not that your opinion isn't valid. it's just that's how companies work.

                ElioX, 17 Oct 2021If you had ANY IDEA of what you wrote: No 16gb ram - 4GB R... moreI gotta support your reply mate, people don’t want to understand that all phones lack the extra stuff that other phones have.

                Besides that there’s price difference, what’s the use of having a $1200 phone that is not consistent with taking photos and keeps on lagging with the software, I mean overall user experience of a phone is more important.

                This google pixels will definitely take the most beautiful photos and selfies and the software will be fluid, battery will last longer and it will get software updates going forward, it will be powerful enough for gaming though it’s not a hard core gaming phone, it has a nice beautiful screen for media consumption, that’s a complete user experience.

                The other sacrifices made are not a big deal like the micro sd slot, 3.5 mm jack, ceramic protection, cooling??? You can definitely live without those….

                  I expect a phone without typing a paragraph.

                    Justine Basco used the Oppo rollable phone last week. Looks interesting. Something I wouldn't get but looks more interesting than the Pixel 6 Pro. Mrwhosetheboss convinced me our future full of isolation looks grim. Arun made several valid points I thought about for a couple years already.

                            There is no regular size model. Just 2 large phones.... screwing people that want smaller option..

                              I think there is nothing to expect, they should not waste money hosting a fancy event. everything is leaked already. or rather Googled results shows what's new for Pixel 6 :-)

                                  Pixel 6 Pro for UK

                                  128GB = £849
                                  256GB = £949

                                    I'm just hoping for a small Android tablet from them so I don't end up buying an iPad Mini.
