Google will release the Pixel 6 later this year and the company revealed how the smartphone will look prior to the launch of the device. The search engine giant showed off the design of the new smartphone that kind of looks inspired by Daft Punk, a new chipset developed in-house and more. The smartphone has a slim black camera bar running through the width of the smartphone, similar to the visor on the Daft Punk helmets.

The company will be launching two models of the smartphone called the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro and have ended the “XL’ nomenclature to avoid confusion. Both models will be available in three colours each. 

The biggest change on the Pixel 6 series is the fact the smartphone will be powered by Google’s own Tensor chipset. The new chip has been rumoured for a whole that will be capable of running AI and ML models directly on the phone according to Google. Google also says that the new chip will help to improve the smartphone’s camera capabilities, speech recognition, and many other features.

The Pixel 6 Pro will come with a triple camera setup at the rear while the Pixel 6 will come with a dual rear camera setup that will not have a telephoto sensor. Google also talked about the improved user experience on the Pixel 5 series thanks to the chipset.

As with previous Pixel devices, the 6 Series will also come with Google’s latest Android OS. It will come with Android 12 out of the box and have Material You UI design language. “The colours, the camera, the form, and what’s on the screen all work together in a single, fluid experience," Google said.

Google also mentioned that thanks to the new Tensor chipset, the phone will have improved speech recognition and that the company has taken “big leaps" in voice command, translation, captioning, and dictation.
