For years, Apple has held a quiet dominance over smartphone video, its control of hardware, software, and silicon forming a seamless whole that rivals struggled to match. Google, long celebrated for its computational still photography, has watched that gap persist — until now. With the Pixel 6 and its custom Tensor chip, Google is making its most deliberate bid yet to bring the same intelligence that elevated its photos into the moving image. Whether this marks a genuine turning point or another near-miss will become clear when the phones arrive in fall 2021.
