It's finally confirmed this time! ! !

On August 3rd, Google officially announced a new generation of flagship machine-Pixel 6 series, with two models, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. # Highlights of digital technology #

Basically the same as the information previously exposed, the Pixel 6 series will have a brand-new design, and will also be equipped with Google's own "tensor" chip and a lot of other new technologies. I have to say that such a big battle has properly aroused Ji's curiosity.

As we all know, the appearance of Pixel 5 is mediocre, not only the body is heavy, but also the rear rectangular camera module is similar to other models on the market, and there is no recognition as a whole.

Google Pixel 5

As Google's new flagship machine, the Pixel 6 series was launched for the first time.

In terms of color matching, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro each have three colors, with low overall brightness and comfortable vision. If you don't want to compare the two models, Pixel 6 is more youthful and energetic, and Pixel 6 Pro is more calm and elegant. But there are two options: black and light gray.

In design, the front is centered on the small hole, the screen frame is thinner and narrower than before, the square shape is very in line with the mainstream aesthetics, and the visual effect is extremely comfortable.

Look at the back of the fuselage. The whole is simple and generous, the application of large area glass has improved the grade, and the three-stage splicing design is eye-catching. If you look closely, you will find that the camera module of Pixel 6 is closer to the top than Pixel 6 Pro.

In addition, the camera module was "blackened" and it was a long convex strip. This design was also ridiculed by netizens as "explosion-proof shield". In this regard, Google also specifically explained the design, saying that because the rear camera sensor is too big to fit into the traditional rectangular module, it designed a long "new home" for it.

I have to say that after getting used to the matrix module used by various manufacturers at present, Google's creativity this time is even more eye-catching.

When it comes to cameras, they are also arranged horizontally. The back of Pixel 6 Pro adopts a three-camera module, which consists of a wide-angle main camera, an ultra-wide-angle lens and a four-fold periscope telephoto lens. There is only a wide-angle main camera and an ultra-wide-angle lens on the back of Pixel 6.

As we all know, periscope telephoto lens can greatly increase the focal length and reach the level of professional camera. Huawei and Xiaomi's flagship machine have used it before. If Ji Guo Jun remembers correctly, this is the first time that Google has used a periscope telephoto lens on a mobile phone.

But speaking of it, camera application has always been Google's strength. Earlier, many manufacturers' mobile phone products were far more effective than the built-in camera after installing Google camera!

Overall, the overall appearance is basically the same as the previously exposed renderings.

The new machine renderings exposed earlier.

In fact, the design has also been affirmed by most netizens, and some even spoke highly of it, saying that it is really Google.

So ... the next step depends on the performance of the performance configuration.

According to the parameters announced by Google, this time Pixel 6 uses a 6.4-inch FHD+ display and supports a 90Hz refresh rate; Pixel 6 Pro will be equipped with micro-curved surface screen with 6.7-inch QHD+ resolution and support the refresh rate of 120Hz.

In addition, according to the previous news, the Pixel 6 series will run Android 12 system, which supports wireless charging and fingerprint unlocking under the screen. In addition, the new machine may be equipped with a 5000mAh battery.

In terms of storage, Pixel 6 adopts the storage combination of 8GB RAM+ 128GB/256GB ROM, and Pixel 6 Pro adopts the combination of128GB/256GB/512GB ROM.

However, the most eye-catching configuration is the chip.

As we all know, this Pixel 6 series uses a self-developed chip "tensor".

According to Google's official introduction, this tensor chip is a complete system-on-a-chip (SoC), which has great application in AI, and can significantly improve the functions of photo and video processing and translation on mobile phones.

For example, taking photos with Pixel 6, tensor and computer photography technology can take the initiative to capture clear photos when the picture is unstable. Although it's not 100% clear, it's much higher than the quality you used to shoot with other mobile phones.

In addition to taking pictures, Tensor also has an eye-catching performance in shooting videos. Not only can it provide real-time HDR, but it can also intelligently adjust the white balance and increase the dynamic range, which is beyond the reach of Pixel 5 or even iPhone.

In addition, thanks to this chip, when watching videos with Pixel 6, the subtitles on the screen can be translated in real time, such as converting French into English.

By the way, there is also a new voice dictation function. To put it simply, you don't have to type hard to send a text message, just speak, and the system can automatically correct some typos in real time.

In addition, Tensor SoC also provides a new Titan M2 security chip for encrypting private information.

As we all know, before this, all Google Pixel phones used processors developed by Qualcomm, but now they are boldly developing their own chips, which is worth looking forward to.

In this regard, Google CEO has publicly stated that this chip has been developed for four years and is Google's biggest innovation in the field of Pixel so far!

On the other hand, if the new machine is successfully mass-produced, Google will be another mobile phone manufacturer with its own mobile phone chip after brands such as Apple, Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi.

In general, the Pixel 6 series is superior to the previous generation Pixel 5 in both appearance and configuration! However, only a part of the information has been exposed at present, and Google said that it will release more information later this year, including complete specifications and pricing.

When it comes to price, the price of the previous generation Pixel 5 is around 4,000 yuan, which is not cheap either in terms of its own configuration or compared with other brands at the same price. This time, the Pixel 6 series has been fully upgraded, using a self-developed chip. It is estimated that the price will go up.

However, this is only a very good guess, and Google has the final say. As for the release date of the new machine, there is no specific time yet, but Google has revealed that it will be counted this fall, not too long. Let's wait patiently.
