The Google Pixel 6 has a Great Camera, but the Chipset Disappointed
One of the most exciting aspects of the Google Pixel 6 range so far is the obvious use of its chipset codenamed Whitechapel, but now we've heard a little more about it and it doesn't sound that exciting.
According to Max Weinbach, a reporter for IT magazine AndroidPolice, who spoke with Miriam Joir on her Mobile Tech Podcast, the Whitechapel chipset will be somewhere between the top Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 865, which was the leading Android chipset in 2020.
However, it sounds like Whitechapel is not the most powerful processor on the market that many were hoping for. However, there may be some advantages in certain areas, with a focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning, which, among other things, could benefit photography.
The chipset is made by Samsung using a 5nm process (same process as Samsung's Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100), and the Pro variant will have a 120Hz display, as well as a 5,000mAh battery, screen fingerprint scanner, and mmWave 5G. The standard Pixel 6 has a smaller flat screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a smaller battery. These two phones also have a new, larger sensor for the main camera.
Weinbach did not go into further details on the specs, but previous information found online suggests a 6.67-inch curved AMOLED display on the Pixel 6 Pro and a 6.4-inch flat screen on the Pixel 6, with the model also having a 50MP main camera. 8MP periscope lens with 5x optical zoom and ultra-wide lens.
According to unofficial information, Google Pixel 6 will appear in October in several colors - peach, sand, pink, silver, and black model with a green option.
