Google to avail its own chip for the upcoming Pixel phones

According to reports, Google is working on its own chipset codenamed Whitechapel that will power its upcoming Pixel 6 device. 'Whitechapel' is used in connection with the codename 'Slider'. 'Slider' is a shared platform for the first Whitechapel systems on a chip (SoC).

 

A report said, internally Google refers to this chip as "GS101," with "GS" potentially being short for "Google Silicon." 'Whitechapel' is an effort on Google's part to create their own systems on a chip (SoCs) to be used in Pixel phones and Chromebooks alike, similar to how Apple uses their own chips in the iPhone and Mac.

 

Google was reported to be co-developing 'Whitechapel' with Samsung, whose Exynos chips rival Snapdragon processors in the Android space. Many interpreted that as a confirmation that Google would be developing their own processors, an effort codenamed "Whitechapel."

 

A new patent has claimed that the upcoming Google Pixel 6 will feature an under-screen selfie snapper. The patent doesn't go into any detail as to how that's achieved but, presumably the camera would be underneath the screen.

 

The upcoming smartphone may feature a 6-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2340 pixels) OLED screen with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. The handset will run on Android 11 and is expected to pack a 4,080mAh battery with fast-charging support.
