In the more recent past, Google has focused more on mid-range devices that offered excellent value for money. The presumed equipment of the Pixel 6 and especially the Pixel 6 Pro makes it clear that Google wants to be at the forefront again technically with its pixel phones – where Samsung traditionally sets the tone in the Android sector. It should also be interesting how powerful Google’s own processor is compared to Snapdragon or Exynos chips. The group is developing this in cooperation with Samsung’s processor division under the code name “Whitechapel.”
