The new Pixel phones are powered by Google Tensor, the first company-designed processor that is touted to offer better artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) performance results as compared to the previous Pixel phones, as per Gadgets 360.

“For the Pixel 6 Pro, we were inspired by the high-quality finishes used in jewelry and watches. It’s our most refined phone, made with the polished unibody metal transitioning fluidly into the gorgeous 3D glass,” Design Director at Google Isabelle Olson said during the launch event.
