In addition to the Pixel 6 series, what else to look forward to at Google’s new product launch

Google has confirmed that it will hold a new product launch conference on October 19. The protagonist is naturally the highly anticipated Pixel 6 series of smartphones. The biggest highlight of the machine is Google’s self-developed Tensor custom chip, which is estimated to be comparable in performance to Apple’s A14 Bionic and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888, but there will be additional bonuses in algorithms such as AI.

Tensor Chip

According to the latest news, this custom SoC is expected to bring up to 80% performance improvement. Although it is not disclosed who will be compared, it is likely to be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G mid-range 5G SoC used on the Pixel 5. It is said that thanks to the 80% performance improvement, Pixel 6 has faster application loading speed, smoother game response, and better energy efficiency and battery life.

The recently exposed Geekbench 5 benchmark test revealed that the Pixel 6 series of smartphones will use an unusual 8-core Tensor SoC configuration-including 2 Cortex-X1, 2 Cortex-A76, and 4 Cortex-A55 cores. Even so, the custom Tensor chip on Pixel 6/6 Pro is still expected to compete with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888/ Samsung Exynos 2100 SoC-at least the Geekbench 5 benchmark score has shown this.

The tipster claimed such a high gain, referring to the benchmark test carried out internally by Google. It is speculated that by moving the Tensor chip to an area with better heat dissipation, the SoC of Pixel 6/6 Pro will no longer easily hit the temperature wall.

Even if the comprehensive running score of this Tensor chip may not be able to beat the flagship competitors on the market, Google is still hopeful that through the optimization of App experience (fast opening/reduction of loading waiting time/smooth interaction), it will bring users Surprise beyond expectations.

Pixel 6 series

Evan Blass, a well-known whistleblower, shared a set of new color-matched renderings of the Pixel 6 smartphone on Twitter and said that the opportunities include Stormy Black, Seafoam Green and Cloudy White. White) These three colors.

Pixel 6 is equipped with a 6.4-inch AM OLED screen with a resolution of 1080*2340 pixels and a refresh rate of 90Hz, while the Pixel 6 Pro will have a more advanced 1440x3120px LTPO AMOLED with a variable refresh rate of 120Hz. In terms of battery, Pixel 6 will be equipped with a 4600mAh battery, and Pixel 6 Pro will be equipped with a 5000mAh battery.

Camera

In terms of cameras, the pair of phones will share a new 50-megapixel 1/1.3-inch Samsung GN1 sensor. Both models may also use a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, which will have autofocus or not. Since it was not specifically mentioned in the leaked promotional materials, we believe that the ultra-wide camera will have a fixed focal length, which is a pity.

Pixel 6 Pro will be equipped with a third camera, which is not available in Pixel 6-a 4x telephoto lens with 48MP, which may be behind the periscope lens. We don’t know the sensor behind the lens, but Google is predicting that due to “super-resolution zoom”, the magnification can be up to 20 times.

According to the currently exposed Pixel 6 Pro technical maintenance manual, Google seems to be equipped with a unique rear three-camera camera module. The manual states: The RL rear camera is calibrated at the supplier’s site to ensure the image/video quality after repair. This page is posted on Repair.Wiki. The Wiki page mentions that the replacement module will be different from the production camera module, and it will be paired to the original logic board.

Update

The tipster @_snoopytech_ revealed that Google plans to expand the software update cycle of the Pixel series. Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will have 5 years of security patches. According to the usual pattern, the upcoming Google phone seems to be promised a major upgrade in 4 years, which usually means 4 Android versions.

This means that Pixel 6 users will be able to stick with their phones for longer before they feel the need to buy a new phone to get updated Android features. Of course, the premise is that the hardware can last that long.

Pixel Stand

This year’s Pixel 6 series is obviously accompanied by the legendary Pixel Stand 2 wireless charging pad. In addition to the increase in charging rate, it is also expected to bring some additional experience to Pixel users. According to the spy photos shared by M. Brandon Lee, it can be seen that the new generation of Pixel Stand wireless charging pads will usher in some exciting upgrades, such as supporting wireless charging power of up to 23W.

Although the power of 23W cannot keep up with the first echelon of the wireless charging market, it is still a significant improvement over the 10W of the original Pixel Stand. In order to support faster wireless charging speeds, Pixel Stand 2 also has a built-in fan that actively assists heat dissipation, which is also missing from the first-generation Pixel Stand wireless charging board released in 2018.

In order to take into account vertical/horizontal use, Pixel Stand 2 is still equipped with two induction coils at the top and bottom, and one of them supports wearable devices such as Pixel Buds true wireless headphones (and even the legendary Pixel Watch smartwatch).

Other

In addition to the Pixel 6 protagonist at the upcoming Pixel autumn conference on October 19, Google will also launch the smartwatch Pixel Watch, the foldable device Pixel Fold, the new speaker Pixel Speaker, and may even launch a Pixel brand flat.

Speaking of Pixel Fold, Google has so far kept silent on the upcoming foldable phone. Rumor makers also failed to do a good job with the leak of Pixel Fold. So far, we only know some information about the device it will be equipped with a 7.57-inch display that supports a 120Hz screen refresh rate.
