Michael Simon covers all things mobile for PCWorld and Macworld. A techy with a lot to enjoy about life and the things it brings. For the uninitiated, the Pixel Visual Core is a special piece of chip designed by Google that made its debut in 2017 with the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. But who knows? Pixel Visual Core’s biggest advantage may be the way it helps Google prepare for the future. That’s a competitive advantage, because Samsung, LG and other flagship phone manufacturers probably don’t have the hardware (because they rely on stock Snapdragon) or the software (because they’re not machine-learning experts) to constantly iterate.

According to the DxOMark standards, the Pixel 2 devices have achieved the highest overall score when it comes to the camera. After a veritable deluge of feature reveals, including accessible Face ID, car crash detection, an updated Recorder app …

The upshot is developers will want to design apps that are specifically geared toward Pixel 2 users. According to the official spec sheet -- obtained by 9to5Google -- we're looking at a Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB of RAM and up to a 90Hz display. Pixel Visual Core will be an option in the Android 8.1 developer’s preview before Google brings it to the Android Camera API, so optimized apps should start arriving shortly. Pixel Visual Core, Google’s first in-house-designed silicon, is a second chip that accompanies the Snapdragon 835. One reason the Google Pixel 3 is one of the best photography handhelds is what Google calls Pixel Visual Core. After a veritable deluge of feature reveals, including accessible Face ID, car crash detection, an updated Recorder app and touchless gestures, we now know its official specifications -- and they pretty much confirm earlier spec rumors that, like everything else about the phone, were also leaked ahead of the official Pixel 4 event. Another leak, another insight into what Google's new handset will offer. In no time, our stories got picked up by the likes of Forbes, Foxnews, Gizmodo, TechCrunch, Engadget, The Verge, Macrumors, and many others. A year later, the Pixel Visual Core made its way to the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL phones, continuing the search giant’s legacy as the best in computational photography. And to do this, the search giant is banking on a new custom-made chip it calls the Pixel Neural Core.

Since Qualcomm doesn’t allow manufacturers to integrate custom processors into the Snapdragon chip design, Pixel Visual Core is a standalone, eight-core image processing unit with its own brain and dedicated RAM.

Pixel Visual Core is Google’s first custom-designed co-processor for consumer products. The Pixel 2 is an incredible phone in large part because it has such a great camera.

But Pixel Visual Core has the potential to improve images even further. Pixel Visual Core also unlocks HDR+ for third-party camera apps, meaning you won’t have to use the stock camera app anymore to take the best photos. And it portends great things for the future: Google is already working on the next set of applications for Pixel Visual Core, and it will surely bring more features to third-party apps as it matures. You might not see an immediate difference in your photos when Google turns on Pixel Visual Core in the upcoming Android Oreo 8.1 update, but the infrastructure will be vastly improved, specifically with regard to Google’s HDR+ tech.

But a year from now, it’ll take even better ones. According to 9to5Google, the device will come with a 1m USB-C to USB-C cable, an 18W USB-C power adapter, a Quick Switch Adapter (female USB-A to male USB-C), a SIM tool and a Quick Start guide. We will find out all the details on October 15.

In an official leak that details all the Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL specs, 9to5Google has established that both devices now include a “Pixel Neural Core” as part of the processing unit and not Pixel Visual Core like in the case of Pixel 3.
