I saw pixel 6.Google's first smartphone chip

Both Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy took five years to get on track.

Now that PIXEL has just released five models from the appearance, it is the game.Google (Google) has also prepared a major change in Pixel 6 (rumors that were true!) To get into the mainstream with the true flagship.

Prior to the release, we asked RICK OSTERLOH of Google Device & Service Division Rick OsterLoh about the details of Pixel 6 and the Google's unique tip (this rumor is true).

Looking back at Pixel in the past before the main subject, pixel 1, pixel 2, and pixel 3 (3XL) are two -tone color like Pixel 6, and it was a plain design that focused on showing Google software.。Google Assistant in Pixel 1, Google Lens was launched in Pixel 2, and Night Sight in the night shooting mode appeared in Pixel 3, which changed the concept of mobile photography of smartphone makers.

Pixel 4 remixed the two -tone color of the old model, proposing ambient computing that integrates with the external environment.The low -priced Pixel 4a 5g (4A) has also appeared.In Pixel 5 (review video), it is an extension that is close to the mid -range smartphone of the popular version rather than a flagship, and the coating of the violet is differentiated, but there is no particularly new hardware, 4.Regarding 5, I feel that it is a phase where you can check the hits by throwing pieces randomly, but while trial and error, Google continues to work on the development of AI and machine learning with a view to the future of smartphone computing.

The next pixel 6 is a genuine flagship model rather than a midrange, and is also a smartphone equipped with Google Tensor for the first time in Google.

"The mission set by the team in the development of hardware this time is to create a Google aggregation version. This will be realized by combining the best AI software that you have and the hardware you have."

Instead of buying and introducing chips made by other companies as before, Pixel will directly deliver the AI and machine learning processing performance necessary to realize Google's vision by developing SOC in -house.It will be.

It is the next model to change it, and the new chip is positioned as "the largest smartphone innovation after the first launch of Pixel five years ago."

I couldn't hear the specific TENSOR architecture and overall performance.It seems that the company has outsourced manufacturing, but in the interview, he told me that it was possible to process the "same level as the data center" on the local chips without relying on the cloud.。If the processing performance of AI that can be handled by chips on the terminal rises, it is not necessary to send personal information to the cloud and process it, so the risk of leakage at the time of transfer will decrease, and it will be a plus for privacy protection.

Was said.

What can be done by Tensor without having a conventional chip

What is worrisome is what can be done specifically.Osterloh Advanced VP took out a Pixel 6 prototype machine close to the final completed form, and explained the new features of Pixel6's debut this fall, which can be done by Tensor.It is a pity that the preview was banned from shooting, so it was a pity that I could not show it in my own photos and videos, but it was the same quality as watching videos and photos provided by Google.

The first thing that came out was the picture of the napku kids.A highly difficult subject that will be out of focus if it is a smartphone because it is not a jerky time.In this photo, a part of the body (hands, face, etc.) is also flowing, so it is usually a trash can go straight, and pixel 6 can correct blurred blur thanks to Tensor and computer processing.I wonder if this can be left.

According to the advanced VP, Tensor is designed according to Google's needs, so even if it is processed in Tensor, it is possible to change the memory architecture so that data can be changed more easily.As many of other companies of other companies depend on chip ISP (image signal processing), Google is made more efficiently off -road to the Tensor AI processing engine to improve both processing performance and electricity.It is said that it was done.

There is still a transcendental computer processing.

The difference is obvious, even if the photos born in this way are not 100%sharp.It was so good that it was so good that it was incomparable to the photos that were blurred.

There are so many other things that can be done by Tensor

The same scene was shown to be captured by iPhone 12, pixel 5, and pixel6.Even though the video should be more burdensome for AI processing, Pixel 6 is displayed in real time while displaying the image of HDR in real time, detecting the sunset and automatically correcting the white balance to reinforce the dynamic range.I'll do it.This is the part where neither iPhone 12 nor pixel 5 could be processed correctly.

I personally increased the tension in the interview, but it was a video demonstration of a person who presented in French.Actually, I have been in French for six years in middle and high school, but I'm not good at it, and even if I can hear it, it's at most one phrase or two phrases.Nevertheless, this was impressive because the advanced VP was tapped with Tatan and not only the characters were raised but also the subtitles were displayed live.That's right, Pixel 6 can translate French in real time in real time while recording.Well, Google's live captions and interpreting mode have been used for a long time, and they can be used on various terminals, but the simultaneous processing was stuffy on smartphones.This was simply because the chips were not made so that such AI & machine learning could be processed.

He showed me a new feature of GBOARD's audio dictation, but this was also amazing.It is a function that allows you to enter SMS by voice, but in Pixel 6, if there is a mistake, it will be able to read automatic schools in real time, and if there is a review, you can manually correct it without interrupting the message.The speed and accuracy of audio recognition are raised unreasonably.Such a steady evolution is Tensor's strength.

The story of the body you care about is a little

Pixel 6 is also attracting hardware, but the specifications have not been officially announced yet.Looking at pixel 4 and 5, some people say, "Google, do you want to stop flagship smartphones?"

is what they said.

Both pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have a playful appearance while adopting a little traditional design elements.I stopped the two -tone color that was said to be not interesting, I was told that it was not exciting, and put in three colors!Moreover, the front and back are glass.You can choose the one with your favorite color scheme from several combinations.It doesn't seem like I've arranged a color sample hanging on the paint section, but it's not bad.

The bezel is also very thin.In Pixel 6, the Camera for Self -Moved from the top left to the middle.The screen is organic EL.Bright and big.Yes, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are quite L size.At least 6.There are 5 inches or more.In particular, the Pixel 6 Pro was large and was as large as Galaxy S21 Ultra.

The protrusion of the camera is housed in Pixel 6 in the "camera band" (Osterloh advanced VP).This is quite tight, and it will be a camera appeal.This is the direction I started exploring with pixel 4.The specifications of the Pixel 6 camera are unknown, but the biggest difference between Muji and Pro is the camera band, and the pixel 6 is a wide -angle and ultra -wide -angle, while Pixel 6 Pro is long -awaited telephoto for a long time.The lens (4x light zoom) is positive.

Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are good enough, and no design, components, and software are compromised.This is a nice turnaround that is completely different from last year's midrange route.It's true that I wrote "Google is too neglected of hardware" that can be understood by looking at Pixel 3.

Momoguri 3 years smartphone 5 years

The sixth generation of Apple was iPhone 5, which was the largest hit product in the history of the iPhone (the most important model is the first and iPhone X).Samsung also introduced double -sided glass design and curved display with S6 and S6 edge, and for the five years following it, these two became a symbol of Samusun Maho Design.Similarly, Google seems to show a strong promotion of ambient computing visions using AI and machine learning in Pixel 6 and New Tensor Chips.

The most intense thing that was the most intense to see the commentary and demonstration of Osterloh advanced VP and Pixel 6 is the extraordinary confidence of Google, which is in the autumn launch.Usually, the company does not tell you such a detailed story before the release.Even so, it is an era when leaks and rumors flow all the time.It is common sense to hide the details until the official announcement, but what Google is trying to do in Pixel 6 is not only the solidification of AI and machine learning, but also selling the five -year research and development.Until I take the actual machine in the fall and spend time using it, I can't say anything yet, but as far as I can see in the interview, it seems that pixel 6 can be expected quite a bit.
