With the latest generation of its Pixel cell phones, Google is introducing several innovations without completely reinventing the wheel. There are some smart new features, some camera upgrades and an improved tensor processor.
The renewed Tensor G2 processor has a new image signal processor for the camera, a powerful graphics unit, processor cores with higher clocks and brings some improvements for machine learning, AI and TPU. Google makes a lot more possible. Tensor G2 is said to have 60% more power overall.
Google Pixel greatly improves the camera
It includes a total of ten new camera functions. Google has completely overhauled the Super Race Zoom and now uses more of the power of existing hardware. Blurry photos can be sharpened, Pixel 7 Pro has a macro mode, 10-bit HDR video, portrait video and more.
VPN soon included and new smart functions
The new Pixel 7 phones are also smarter Google Messages includes new Assistant features including automatic emoji suggestions for voice input and a transcription for received voice messages Google’s VPN service (via Google One) should also be free for Pixel 7 device owners.
The all-new Clear Calling uses machine learning to reduce background noise during phone calls. Google promises significantly better conversations, even in loud noise. Pleasant: Clear calling is also available on older models.
Other innovations are not directly related to the Pixel 7 series, such as the renewed expansion of Live Display. Google notifies you about packages, the day’s weather forecast, and when snow or rain is imminent.
Face Unlock has been re-integrated for the first time
Starting with the Pixel 4, the new devices are also equipped with Face Unlock for the first time. Here too, machine learning should make the solution with the front camera as safe as possible. However, this is a convenience feature, so it cannot be used for banking apps.
Compared to its predecessors, the design has been significantly revised. These include a deeper placement of the side buttons, a more compact housing and a streamlined design of the housing frame and camera bar.
Despite the improvement and tense global situation, prices remain unchanged. It starts from as little as 649 euros!
