New Pixel 6 info from Max Weinbach

Posted: 22 May 2021 07:36 PM PDT

Max Weinbach was in a podcast talking about I/O and the recent Pixel 6 leaks, and he dropped some new info about the Pixel 5a and 6.

In case you didn't know, Max Weinbach is a pretty reliable leaker, with a good track-record, trusted by multiple people in the industry, such as 9to5google. Though it's important to keep in mind that these are still not 100% confirmed, especially since they are not from tweets or articles, but a conversation in a podcast.

So here are every new juicy things Max said:

-25:50 Pixel 5a will be more expensive than Pixel 4a (that was probably to be expected since it's basically a 4a 5G from what we've seen from previous leaks).

-13:10 Pixel Watch to be powered by 5 nm Samsung chip, not Qualcomm.

-16:40 Pixel Watch and Pixel 6 to launch in October, except if there's chip shortage which would result in a November launch.

-17:20 Pixel 6 SoC (Whitechapel) is "an in-between 888 and 865".

-22:50 The main reason why Google will use Whitechapel instead of a Qualcomm SoC is AI.

-23:50 Bigger Pixel 6 would be 120Hz QHD with 5000 mAh.

-23:50 Smaller Pixel 6 would be 120Hz FHD and it seems he was less certain about that but assumed around 4500 mAh.

-39:00 One Pixel 6 color scheme is constituted of a peach color at the top and a sand color (like the Not Pink of the Pixel 3) at the bottom with a gold body.

-39:20 There will be a green Pixel 6 (he doesn't know what the specific colors are).

-41:40 Pixel 6 marketing budget on the level of a Samsung Galaxy S-series device. Google is willing to spend money on this phone.

-43:10 The camera design in the form of a bar that we've seen is going to be the design language of future Pixel phones because it's a future-proof design thanks to all the room it gives to allow new camera tech.

Edit: Added timestamps as well as 2nd and 4th bits (thanks u/Cwlcymro).

My personal opinion on A12 after 60 hours

Posted: 21 May 2021 11:55 PM PDT

Pros:
- As a Pixel 4 user that utilises face unlock routinely, pattern unlock is now instantaneous, compared to a second delay on A11.
- Eye candy animation when you place your Pixel on a wireless charger - a ripple effect.
- Refreshed UI is pleasant looking imo.
- 'Extra Dim' is fantastic!
- Tasker still works fine(I am a light user)
- GPay works!
- For a beta, this is working extremely well. I personally did not face any system crashes or issues. Some hanky animation here and there but otherwise, this beta is a lovely sneak peek into the new refreshed look

Cons:
- animation a tad janky on all apps that require you to scroll(literally all 😂)
- standby(screen off) drains a tad more battery juice.

Issues I personally face and feel
- GPS accuracy seems to be off for my running app, Runtastic. It is clocking distance slower than usual
- Apps that utilises 'Recent Apps' will no longer work.
- 'Dual App' not working
- Might have to change your display size setting under "Display", due to the new UI.
- RAM management is just as bad when A11 was introduced
- battery life is still as bad after updating to A11
