US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Google Pixel 6, 6 Pro to get a gimbal mode, improved video performance and more

Google is soon to make its 2021 Pixel 6 phones official and before this could happen, a number of leaks and rumours are often seen making the rounds. The most recent one talks about the possible camera capabilities the phones might get.

By the looks of it, Google could add major changes that can make the Pixel 6 a worthy upgrade. Here’s what the phones could bring to the table.

Pixel 6 phones to get major camera improvements

As per the leakster Tron, the Pixel 6 and the 6 Pro could come with a Gimbal-like steady cam mode for improved stabilisation. This will be similar to the feature seen on the LG Wing and the Vivo X50/X60 phones.

The phone is also expected to come with a bigger Samsung camera sensor and major improvements in the videography department.

Additionally, the phone is expected to come with a Google-made neural processing unit (NPU) and image signal processor (ISP), which is further expected to up the Google Pixel camera game.

Pixel 6 to get Google chip, new design and more

Besides the camera improvements (which we expect), the Pixel 6 is expected to go for a lot of changes. To begin with, the Pixel 6 and the 6 Pro are expected to be powered by the company’s in-house chip, codenamed Whitechapel. This will help Google compete with the likes of Apple and Samsung.

The chip is expected to be based on a 5nm process tech and be on par with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC, which is making its way on multiple phones lately.

The phones are also expected to a major design overhaul. They are likely to come with a big rectangular camera hump (seen on the Poco M3, Mi 11 Ultra) and give rise to a tri-colour scheme. This will big goodbye to the square-shaped camera setup we have been seeing for a while now. The front could get a punch-hole placed in the middle instead of the top left corner.

Other details include a 120Hz AMOLED display, dual rear cameras (50-megapixel, 8-megapixel), a 5,000mAh battery with faster charging, Android 12 out-of-the-box, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and more.

As a reminder, we lack concrete details on how the Google Pixel 6 phones will turn out to be and need to wait for an official word. Hence, stay tuned to this space for more information.
