For now, tedious Apple-grade teasing
Google today said the latest iteration of its Android smartphones, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, are coming this fall. So far the internet advertising goliath has only offered a glimpse of the gear: no official specifications have been released. The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro look like your standard high-end 6.ish-inch aluminium-framed smartphones. The Pixel 6 Pro is expected to sport a 6.7″ 120Hz screen,5G connectivity, and a raised bank of cameras on the back that includes a wide-angle main sensor and one with a 4X optical-zoom telephoto lens. We’re told the Pixel 6 duo will use Google’s homegrown system-on-chip called Tensor. This is said to include a mix of CPUs and GPU cores, which could be and likely are licensed from other designers, plus Google’s own custom AI acceleration engine.
