Google's Pixel 6 will sport improved cameras and an updated industrial design, but the key component is a new mobile processor, the first designed by Google.
Instead of using Qualcomm Snapdragon chips like most Android devices, the Pixel 6 will use Google's "Tensor" SOC.
Google says this is an AI-focused chip designed in collaboration with the groups that build their machine-learning focused TPU boards, which bring AI acceleration to datacenter work.
The Tensor SOC should enable improved video and photo performance, including multi-sensor HDR, real-time subtitles and translation, and improved voice control, all on-device.
