At the end of October last year, Google Pixel 6 series was launched, the machine with comparable to the "Snapdragon 888" self-developed Tensor chip and highly recognizable design, won a wave of praise, so that many consumers pocketed it. #数码科技要闻 #
But... The embarrassing scene came. After the machine was listed for a period of time, there were consumer feedback that the new machine Bugs appeared in an endless stream, what screen flashed for no reason, fingerprint unlocking abnormalities, Wifi connection could not be used, telephone flashback, etc., was ridiculed as "the flagship with the most bugs in 2021".
Just in these two days, there are still users who complain that the Pixel 6 Pro has automatically rejected the phone. Because the call is considered rejected, the user doesn't receive a notification, but it appears in the call log. The point is that it doesn't have a fixed reject number and time period.
Although there are many small problems, it is undeniable that the Pixel 6 series has set a new high for Google mobile phones, whether it is design, hardware strength or performance level, which also makes Google rivet enough to continue to impact the high-end and create a flagship mobile phone in the full sense.
Entering 2022, there are more and more rumors about the next generation of new machines. Not surprisingly, the new machine will still contain Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro two versions, from the current revelations, its biggest selling point is the newly upgraded imaging system and is expected to be pre-installed Android 13 operating system.
A few days ago, a foreign website made a new machine rendering drawing based on some information leaked on the Internet, so that everyone can more intuitively feel more core details of the product.
The new Google Pixel 7 series will continue the design of the previous generation, with a mainstream center-digging full screen on the front, the screen is extremely narrow on all four sides, and the overall screen accounts for a high proportion. The border is slightly curved so that the screen does not look too slab and lose its beauty.
The screen size is slightly "slimmed down" compared to the previous generation, the Pixel 7 uses a 6.3-inch OLED display, and the Pixel 7 Pro is a 6.7-inch OLED display, both of which support a 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 1080P.
The back of the fuselage is still a three-stage design, in which the rear camera module is convex, which perfectly reproduces the classics of the previous generation and is very eye-catching.
The cameras are arranged horizontally, the number is still three, but the arrangement method has changed slightly, a square periscope lens is distributed separately, and the overall design is somewhat similar to the exclamation point design, which is quite similar to the rumored iPhone 14 series screen opening.
The specific specifications of the camera are not clear, but according to the whistleblower @Yogesh Brar earlier, the Pixel 7 series may use the same optical imaging devices as the Pixel 6. While the specification upgrade is minor, performance is expected to outperform the Pixel 6 because the software adjusts.
For other details, the on/off button is on the right, the volume key is directly below it, and the fingerprint sensor is located just below the screen. Previously, after the release of the Pixel 6 series, it was complained about because the fingerprint sensor was too slow to respond, so there was news that the new opportunity focused on updating this part.
There is space on the bottom for the USB Type-C port, as well as speakers and microphones.
In addition to the new look and camera hardware, the first use of Google Tensor chips is also a remarkable point of the machine.
Since the Pixel 6 series, Google has been using its own Tensor chip, which has improved CPU performance by 80% and GPU performance by up to 370% compared to qualcomm Snapdragon 765G. In addition, software and AI performance have been enhanced, and its voice recognition, camera lens shooting, and privacy protection have all been taken to the next level.
Especially the camera experience, thanks to the self-developed chip and the new camera function, the Pixel 6 strengthens the sensor at the same time, but also focuses on the camera experience, so that ordinary people who do not have camera skills can also take the best possible finished film.
That is to say, tensor chip credit is not small. Surprisingly, the new machine is expected to continue to carry tensor chips and is the second generation after the upgrade. Compared with its predecessor, it is undoubtedly faster and better, and its performance and power consumption are good. This also makes people look forward to the future Pixel 7 series cameras have more abundant and practical "skills".
In addition, the new machine will also have built-in 12GB RAM +128GB and 12GB RAM+256GB storage options, and microSD memory cards are not supported. As for batteries and charging, there is no news at this time. Earlier, the Pixel 6 Pro was complained that the charging speed was slow, hoping that new opportunities would improve.
Although there is not much information at present, the new processor alone is already very surprising.
What is even more rare is that the Pixel 7 series will also be pre-installed with the Android 13 operating system, which will also be the industry's first flagship mobile phone with the Android 13 system pre-installed.
About this new operating system, I believe you have heard, in March this year, Android 13 developer preview version was launched, although only the Google Pixel series models can be tasted, but from the information leaked online, it is supplemented on the original basis of Android 12, which is eye-catching.
The "theme icon" of the user interface has been changed to make the visual effect of the UI better. In addition, the Material You design language will be continued, allowing users to create a personalized interface and allow users to set the language of specific apps.
At the same time, Android 13 inherits the split-screen mode on Android 12L, which allows two APPS to be displayed on the same screen, and windows can also be dragged and dropped to achieve a PC-like multi-tasking control experience. One-click switching, convenient and fast.
The new system further enhances privacy protection, allowing users to allow the app to gain specific photo or video permissions. This sandbox-like mechanism can isolate apps from the system to prevent personal privacy from being stolen or mobile phones being implanted with viruses. In addition, when the App requests to read the notification content, the system will also inform the user, and the user can treat the notification function as an application management.
In addition to the improved security features, there are also some useful features. For example, it supports adding a QR scanner to the lock screen, clicking on streaming media, adding a system photo selector, and many other new functions, and you can also specify languages for individual apps, Bluetooth LE Audi, and so on. All in all, very practical.
According to the convention, Google Pixel series will take the lead in upgrading the new system, for now, Pixel 4 series to Pixel 6 series can upgrade Android 13. Not long ago, foreign media exposed the list of devices that Xiaomi upgraded android 13, of which the Xiaomi 12 series, as well as the Redmi K50 series released this year, will be the first to upgrade.
If all goes according to plan, the first Android 13 beta will be released this month, and the final version will be released in October.
The Pixel 7 series, which is the first to carry the new system, is also expected to be officially launched in October.
Among them, pixel 7 pro or will be available in white, black, light yellow three colors. There is no information about the price at present, but here can refer to the previous generation, Google Pixel 6 starting at 649 euros (about 4483 yuan) ;P ixel 6 Pro starting at 899 euros (about 6210 yuan). In this way, the Pixel 7 series will also cost 4,000 yuan upwards.
In short, in terms of configuration, as the first to try the big version of Android, while equipped with an upgraded Tensor chip and a new camera that has always been stable, the Pixel 7 series is still worth looking forward to. Of course, fixing the small bugs of the Pixel 6 series is even more invincible.
