2022 might actually be one of the most exciting years for Google
hardware and a long time with some desperately needed along the way
products like the Google pixel.
Watch the Google pixel seven new and improved devices, brand new product
category, some surprising bets.
Oh, and what looks like this certain development for a
new type of Google glass.
See what I mean?
So let's talk about what we know so far about Google's
product roadmap, my thoughts.
And of course, I want to know what your thoughts are in the comments,
because this is tech today.

We'll talk about them more later.
The Google pixel six pro and pixel six have been out for a few months now.
And despite the Google pixel six, being in astounding value at $600 or less,
there's always room for an even greater.
The light to dollar ratio with the Google pixel six, eight rumors suggest that the
Google pixel succeed will be launched at the end of may and that rhymes.
And I love that, but that's generally when the guru IO has taken place, based
upon the leaks, it will have a similar design to the Google pixel six and pixel
six pro with its unique camera bar logged Bobi the first Google pixel Acers device
without a headphone Jack, which is a real shame, but it would be less painful if
we got some, a Google pixel buds pro.
So a.
Google get on that, just like you should make sure that you're
subscribed and hitting like button for the YouTube algorithm.
We also know that the pixel six, eight is a bit smaller than the
pixel six, which is a bit nice for those who don't want a big phone.
And it also means that don't have a screen size that is at
a max of 6.2 inches or smaller.
It also comes up the same main sensor that you've seen on
the previous Google pixel 5s.
Gains the same ultra wide camera sensor in the pixel six.
What will be interesting is whether or not they use the exact same tensor chip found
on the Google pixel six or a modified one.
I anticipate it will be the exact same one since development of
that chip has already been done.
And that could potentially cost less for Google to go that route.
And hopefully that cost savings gets passed on.
And then it takes us to the big question.
What price will Google choose for the pixel six, eight with
the pixel six sitting at $600.
There does need to be a little bit of a difference in price between
the different models to make the existence of an a series device.
Make sense and give that great delight dollar ratio.
What do you think it will be priced at maybe $450?
I don't think it should be any higher than that, but let me know your thoughts
in the comments for this next one.
There is a lower end Chromecast coming up soon that has Google TV on it.
That.
So, um, next, the Chromebooks have been known for being a great, lightweight,
relatively inexpensive, basic laptop.
That makes tons of sense for the classroom, but that's why this next
rumored Harward project is a huge surprise to me, gaming Chromebooks.
And he has I'm serious beyond using the obvious options.
The D and D force now to gain on your Chromebook 95, Google has reported that
Google has been working on a project Borealis that will give Chromebooks
compatibility to play games from the steam store, as well as other games
that are compatible with clinics.
So you add in the fact that media tech and video are working on bringing RTX
graphics to Chromebooks and the work that steam is working on with the steam
deck, it looks a Chromebooks may benefit from all that work way more than people.
I honestly, can't wait to get my hands on Steve.
Nick, we've been talking about it in, this is technically a
community discord chat server.
So if you want to come join us, go hang out with us.
There's a link in the description.
Further emphasizing Google's pursuit of gaming on Chromebooks
can be found in new code.
This code references, the ability to just the RGB colors on a keyboard on whatever
device may take advantage of this code.
So maybe someone's gonna.
Gaming Chromebook that has RGB capabilities in the keyboard.
And that's where this comes into play.
But who knows if this truly will come to fruition and what that looks like, but
I'm really curious to see if gaming proves to be an enjoyable experience or not.
On Chromebooks.
Speaking of gaming, Google is known as one of the first companies explore
aspects of augmented reality and spur glasses with Google glass.
Unfortunately, when they first came out, they were not received well by
those on the other side of glasses and the term glass hall was moving.
Seeing as how much of the industry today is focused on VR and AR
glasses more and more, and the strong push for the metaverse.
I think it's safe to say that Google is way ahead of their time.
Well, it looks like project Iris six to bring Google back into
the AR VR ring to compete for the metaverse feature much like what
we're hearing from Mehta, Facebook.
And what's really neat is that this is being developed in a super secure, locked
down NDA covered facility, but yet someone has leaked out that early prototypes
look like a pair of ski goggles.
Thanks Lee cure.
You know, you can always contact me at my telegram, just just saying these
AR glasses or goggles are rumored to have a custom Google chip, which mix
they're pushed into something like tensor, make more and more sense and
it'll have its own custom OS and it will be powered by their data centers over
the internet, which sounds a lot like the tech that's used for Google stadia.
What's really fascinating is that Michael Cozzi joined Google after
working on the Arcos at Metta to go work at Google for this augmented reality.
It's 300 other engineers and it looks like they're looking for way more help
based upon all the job listings for this AR O S but this isn't something
that we'll launch this year, though.
It looks like it's aimed for 20, 24 at the earliest.
I guess that stadia tech won't go to waste, but, um, are you excited for this?
I'm pretty stoked about it, but we have to be mindful that
Google can't even seem to get.
Speaking of the Google pixel watch it's the device that I'm most anticipating
I could wear this Fitbit sense and the Samsung galaxy watch for at the same time.
And it still would not provide the experience that I would want
and what we could possibly expect from the Google pixel watch.
We could get a fully open smartwatch with all its smartwatch features with.
Google services, integration plus great sensors and
benefits of Fitbit integration.
That brings more than just fitness tracking, but health tracking and an
established community of people that you can connect with and compete with.
I have over 100 people I can connect to you based upon context on my phone alone.
And most of them use an iPhone.
For those of you who know that fitness is more fun in community
and competing with others, you know that this is going to be huge.
Google doesn't have to build out a whole community and everything.
They're just taking an existing community and integrate.
I have a whole video dedicated to what we can expect from the Google pixel
watch, which you can watch in the video up here, but here's some updates since
that potential colors for the watch may have been revealed by an unline
coloring book thing who will launch that gives some details on each of the
colors that you can choose from with a description of where those colors show up.
A few of which are referenced the color showing up on their wearables.
Curious because what wearables does Google have other than the Google pixel
buds after removing the color options for the Google pixel buds is a pixel
six and six pro we're left with some new colors that we've yet to see that
we could possibly see in the Google pixel watch the first being lemon
pop, or really bright yellow look.
That seems to make sense for a sporty athletic quick and pale yellow.
Sunny warm color, which makes you wonder if it's closer to the golden color we
see in the sort of setting pixel six pro, and this is probably the best update.
And it comes from John Prosser from front page tech who gives us a specific launch
date of may 26, which means it's largely around the time Google IO usually takes.
So that may also mean that we have a specific date for Google IO.
This is going to be a very exciting summer for Google, but I wonder
if we'll see this next product teased at that Google IO event.
The Google pixel foldable has been in ongoing rumor for about a couple of years.
Now.
We've seen Google push into the area of foldables in a variety of ways,
from changes to Android OS, which we first saw in the Samsung galaxy
fold to what we see Google developing out in the wild with Android 12
L, which has focused on tablets.
Well, there has previously been reports that Google's full bowl was
discontinued or delayed, which is kind of an odd thing to clear about
something that wasn't even announced.
Well, it looks like Google still working on their Google pixel notepad, which is
what they're calling it, supposedly, which has the code named passport and pivot.
I'm still surprised that Google hasn't taken advantage of the pixel ultra name.
It seems so obvious and easy, like an underhanded toss, like the enthusiastic
would be kind of stoked about that.
And who would be more enthusiastic about a foldable.
Other than the enthusiast.
Also, I wonder if the Google pixel note pad development was delayed
because of Samsung's Exynos processor issues, which tensor is based on.
It's an interesting thing to speculate, but not anything I have any grounding
on as for what to expect from it.
It's logical for us to assume that Google will put one of their tensor
chips in it, in whatever form they have available at the time.
But reports showed that it's likely to have a lower tier camera in it
than the Google pixel six pro, which has exactly the same route that
Samsung has done with our foldables compared to the normal galaxy.
Now, if you've ever used the Samsung galaxy full, do you know
how awkward the aspect ratio is?
Especially when folded, thankfully rumors suggest it will be more like the APO find
end with a more conventional aspect ratio when folded in a more squared aspect ratio
when unfolded even better, it appears that Google is targeting a $1,400 price point
for their full wall, which has notably.
Affordable than the competition, which continues.
Google's trend of having a height, delight to dollar ratio.
But I'm curious, are you more excited about a Google pixel
foldable or a Google pixel watch?
I ran a poll about this on Twitter that shows that more people want
a pixel watch, which I personally agree with Ben love to know what
you think and why in the comments.
The Google pixel seven is probably one of the most exciting new devices
to look forward to, especially with the further refinements and the
growing metrition of the custom tensor chips that will never leave.
Each generation this year, it looks like Google is pushing hard into having its
own custom image, signal, processor, or ISP built into their tensor chip.
Instead of using another company's ISP chip.
Like what we've seen on the Google pixel six and pixel six prep.
This means that things will be catered to the hardware that Google has
specifically chosen for their phones, which would ideally produce higher
quality images and video and deeper integration, which like what we've seen
apple doing with the iPhone and from the looks of it, they're specifically
hiring people from the San Diego area.
Qualcomm is so, you know, there won't be any drama or competition
as Google seeks to gain key talent.
So, uh, I hope Qualcomm engineers looking for a new job, send
emails through a secure method, which this video is sponsored.
