Ekholm Calls for Innovation Focus in Europe
Ericsson CEO Borje Ekholm said that Europe may not develop any leading industries if policymakers keep prioritizing regulation over innovation.
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.
