Notes from a Google engineer reveal that the Pixel 10 series will boot up significantly faster than previous models.
Google is hoping that the Pixel 10 series will be a big game-changer for the Pixel line. Prior to the Pixel, Google would team up with a phone manufacturer and release a Nexus phone every year. The Nexus One, a great-looking Android phone, was designed by HTC. Over the years other manufacturers involved in the Nexus phone program included LG, Motorola, Samsung, and Huawei. Google took care of the software and the manufacturing partner handled the hardware.
The first Pixel and Pixel XL models were released in 2016 and the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL included a facial recognition system that used 3D mapping imagery like Apple’s Face ID to make the technology secure. It also had a feature called Motion Sense that used radar to allow the user to use gestures above the screen to skip songs on a playlist, dismiss phone calls and alarms, and silence phone calls. The Pixel 5 was a huge shocker since there was only one mid-range model. Many thought that the Pixel was dead.
But Google redesigned the Pixel and the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro were designed to be true iPhone challengers featuring an under-screen fingerprint scanner, AI features like the Magic Eraser, and a periscope lens on the Pro model.
