Google Wants You to Take the Pixel 6 Seriously and It’s Borrowing Apple’s Playbook. Why It Might Work

Google unveiled the Pixel 6 last week, and this time it says it’s ready to compete at the flagship level. Actually, it unveiled two new devices, the Pixel 6, and Pixel 6 Pro, because every smartphone line needs at least one device that has the word “pro” in the name. That’s how you know you’re supposed to take it seriously–and, in the case of the Pixel 6–Google definitely wants you to take it seriously. “We knew we didn’t have what it took to be in the ultra high end,” said Rick Osterloh,… Source link

Google’s Tensor chip is only the first step toward truly great Pixel phones

Google’s Pixel 6 is shaping up to be the company’s most ambitious smartphone in years, largely due to the new, custom-designed Tensor processor, which aims to catapult Google to the forefront of the smartphone market with the power of Google’s years of machine learning experience.

Pixel 6 will have new processor designed by Google

Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro phones Google Google announced Monday it will build its own smartphone processor, called Google Tensor, that will power its new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro phones this fall.

Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro phones announced with custom Tensor chips

Google is announcing the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro today, though it might be better to call it a preview or a tease. Rather than releasing all the details on its new Android phones, Google is instead putting the focus on the new system on a chip (SoC) that will be inside the new Pixels.
