Google to bring Pixel 6 series features to its older Pixel phones: Report

Google is planning to bring some features of the newly launched Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro to its older Google Pixel models. As per a report by Android Authority, these new features include astrophotography mode, Cinematic Pan option, and Call Screening, and so on. Although, the older smartphones will still lack a few features due to the absence of Google’s Tensor chipset. These features include Live Translate, Motion Mode and more.

With all Pixel smartphones, Google aims to bring as many features as possible to older Pixel models but it might take some time. The report further reveals that there need to be some technical investments. As per the Google spokesperson, “Some technologies will require additional technical investments, such as Live Translate, as our on-device language models are engineered to run on Pixel 6’s proprietary Tensor chip on TPU (which older Pixel models don’t have).”

Google knows that it will need to work to find ways to port features of the latest Pixel 6 series to older Pixel models. There is no official date for the roll out yet.

The smartphones will have an AOD display and will run on Android 12. Google has also unveiled Titan M2 to enhance the security on Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Google has also promised 5 years of security updates.

In terms of camera, both the smartphones come with a 50-megapixel primary shooter and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens.
