Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro will feature a Tensor processor, which will be a custom-designed chip manufactured by Samsung. This is a similar concept to Apple’s A-series chips. The specs of this chip are unknown, but we’ll hear more in the coming weeks.
These AI features will be implemented on the new camera system which will include a wide and ultrawide sensor, but only the Pro model will have an additional 4x telephoto lens. Specs of the camera setup are still unknown.
