Engadget Logo Engajet Japanese version Bulletin: Google Pixel 6/6 Pro details announced, released in Japan on October 28 74,800 yen ~ (Junya Ishino)

It has already been revealed that the teaser, the chipset to be mounted, and the SoftBank will be monopolized as a carrier, but finally Google is the company's flagship smartphone "Pixel 6" "Pixel 6".PRO has been officially announced.

Reservations in Japan will start from October 20 today.The release will be about one week later, October 28.Google's own Google Store sells both models.As for the career, KDDI and SoftBank handle Pixel 6, and SoftBank handles Pixel 6 Pro as notice.

The price of the Google Store is 74,800 yen for Pixel 6 and 116,600 yen for Pixel 6 Pro.The price in your career has not yet been announced, so check out future announcements.

Equipped with proprietary "TENSOR" chip

The two models are equipped with "Tensor", which is developed and designed by the company, and is characterized by greatly enhancing AI processing capabilities.This is also here that Google is working on the chip himself.

Tensor is a chipset that uses integrated ML engines and is designed to optimize for machine learning (machine learning) (Google Pixel Business Vice President Nanda Ramachandran).It is said that the main algorithms were directly incorporated into the image signal processor required for image processing.

According to Ramachandran, "the selection of CPU and GPU has also been able to complement machine learning."Tensor is designed so that Google's strength that pushes AI to the front can be realized on a smartphone.

There are two main functions that can be achieved with Pixel 6 and 6 Pro.One is voice recognition.The incorporation of Tensor has greatly improved the performance of voice recognition completed on the device while reducing power consumption.The actual function that has dropped it is "assistant audio input".Conventional audio input could not be reflected in punctuation, etc., but in the assistant audio input, the combination of voice recognition and screen taps enables smooth input without hitting the keyboard.

As an example of applying voice recognition, the translation function of the on -device is also a unique feature of Pixel 6 and 6 Pro.In Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, the translation function is incorporated into the message application and translated on the device.The advantage is that you no longer need to go back and forth with Google Translate and Message App.As you can see in the demonstration, the translation is quite close to real time, and it looks as if someone speaking other languages is speaking in the same language as you.This in -app translation function is also offered to third -party apps such as LINE, Twitter, and Instagram.

Also, from Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, the character of the voice recorder is also possible in Japanese.There should be many reporters who have been waiting for this function (laughs).I do not know until I actually use it as accuracy, but if you can keep it in a rough manner, you will be able to search for text later, so you can save a lot of time to search for the necessary voice data.It is Google -like that used for voice recognition that the processing ability of machine learning has improved.I got the impression that Google's value as a smartphone has risen.

Another function realized by the installation of Tensor is the camera.Even so, Pixel originally sold a computational photography that made full use of AI, so it may be more accurate to improve the camera.One of the new features that makes use of AI is "Real Tone".This is a function to reproduce human skin color more faithfully.According to Google, it is possible to highlight all races of all races by learning thousands of portraits while collaborating with photography experts, video experts, and colored experts.It is said that it has become.

"Eraser magic" is also one of the new features installed in Pixel 6 and 6 Pro.This is a function that can be erased as if it was not existed from the beginning.AI estimates what you want to erase and automatically processing this eraser magic.

It also supports "motion mode" that can easily obtain the effect of taking a sink.For example, as shown in the following photos, it is possible to take photos with a dynamic expression of wheels.It is said that the effects are recognized in machine learning and recognizing where the subject is moving.

Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have greatly evolved in Pixel 6 and 6 Pro to bring out the processing capacity of AI with Tensor.

The camera configuration is a triple camera with Pixel 6 with a main camera with 50 million pixels and a 12 -megapixel ultra wide camera dual camera, Pixel 6 Pro with a 48 -megapixel telephoto camera.The pixel pitch of the main camera is 1.2 μm, the sensor size is 1/1.31 inches, and the amount of light captured at the Pixel 5 ratio has increased by 150%.

In addition, Pixel 6 Pro's telephoto camera realizes a 4x optical zoom with a mechanism that flexs periscope -type light.By combining the super -resolution zoom that Pixel is good at, the maximum magnification of telephoto has increased to 20 times.

Indeed, if it is expanded to 20 times, it seems high that the image quality deteriorates, even though it is a super -resolution zoom, but at least a telephoto camera with an optical 4 times, the zoom is higher than the conventional model.I did it.

There is also a difference in the display between Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, the former is a 6.4 -inch full HD+(1080 x 2400 dots), the latter is 6.7 inch QHD+(1440 x 3120 dots), and the frame rate is 90Hz and 120Hz. there is.

The functions using machine learning by Tensor, which are the liver, are commonly equipped, but are differentiated with two models with hardware such as cameras and displays.There is also a difference in 5G, and only Pixel 6 Pro is supported up to millimeter waves.The fact that both models are guaranteed at least five years of update is a major difference from the conventional model.It can be said that Google himself is a smartphone unique to a smartphone.

In addition, both models support Osaifu -Keitai, ESIM, and IP68 waterproof.Please see the following specifications for the main specifications of the product.
