Magic Eraser in Google Photos helps you get rid of photobombing
No one is perfect and of course, sometimes the pictures you take may be not perfect too. If you don't like certain objects or other peoples appearing in your photos, the new Magic Eraser tool could solve your issue.
With a few tap on the Google Photos, you can get rid of stuff that you thinks it distractions. You are not limited to photos that are captured on your new Pixel 6, you can even take those photos from years ago and get it edit too. Magic Eraser can suggest you what to remove in the photo, like people in the background, power lines and power poles.
You can also manually brush out objects and people that you don't want to appear in your photo, just draw a circle at the stuff and Magic Eraser can try to predict what you want to remove with machine learning.
Google didn't seem to mention the tool will come to other devices, including older Pixels, so a Pixel 6 exclusive tool for now. (Google Blog)

Google Pixel 6 doesn't include power adapter in box, 30W charger for $25
Nowadays flagship smartphone doesn't ship with a charging adapter, just because company think that you have the money to buy a flagship, why not a cheap charger. Anyway, the 30W charger for the Pixel 6 costs $25, still quite pricey I had say.
Since the first Pixel, Google shipped with 18W USB Type-C wall adapter. Now with the Pixel 6, Google isn't shipping charger anymore in the box, but Pixel 6 could now charge up to 30W at maximum speed.
Anyway if you had wanted to buy the new charger, you can pre-order it from the Google Store. (XDA Developers)

Snapchat to be the only third party app support using Pixel 6's wide angle selfie camera, also add exclusive features
Android devices haven't been treated well when it come to third party camera support. Seems like the new Pixel 6 will be an exception, getting dedicated Snapchat camera support.
Google has announced “Quick Tap to Snap” feature which is arriving later this year. It will be part of the Android 12’s “Quick Tap” feature. It allows you to instantly launch the Snapchat camera and skip the lockscreen on your device, as a result, Snapchat claiming the Pixel 6 will be “the fastest phone to make a snap.”
Besides, Google on Twitter posted that Snapchat will have exclusive lenses and “other exclusive features” on the new Pixel 6, possibly involving Live Translate. Snapchat for now, will also be the only third-party app that can take advantage of the full field-of-view on the Pixel 6 selfie camera.
Support for all these features should be live on version 11,49 and higher, (9To5Google)
