Google announced new Pixel smartphones, focusing on camera technology and AI in an updated form-factor. In a video announcement, Google executives highlighted its latest processor, Tensor, claiming it will enable new experiences in the Pixel 6 smartphones using AI.

Much of the AI appears to be focused on the camera, which sits in a raised bar on the back of the phone. Executives explained the technology corrects for low visibility, reads skin tones and recognizes individuals.

Pixel 6 features a 12MP ultra-wide lens and a 50MP wide lens, with a Pro version adding a 48MP telephoto module to the mix, plus an 11MP front camera. The Pixel 6 has a 6.4-inch full HD display and the Pro a 6.7-inch quad HD display. Pixel 6 is priced $599 and the Pro $899, with the ordering process open and availability in the US scheduled for 28 October.
