Google will abandon Qualcomm and build its own smartphone processors this year
Summary
Its a full system on a chip, or SoC, that the company says will offer big improvements to photo and video processing on phones, along with features like voice-to-speech and translation. "The problem with Pixel has been that we keep running into limits with existing off-the-shelf technology solutions, and its just really hard to get our most advanced stuff from research teams onto the phone," Googles hardware boss Rick Osterloh told CNBC in an interview last week. But in a demo with CNBC, Osterloh showed one example of how the new chip can help decrease blurring when a subject moves while youre taking a picture. Osterloh showed other examples, like faster and more accurate text-to-speech when youre speaking out a text message, and new offline translation for captions for videos. The companys earlier phones have been great, but Google hasnt done enough marketing to make consumers aware that they exist, or that theyre any good.
