推薦收購手機
t the camera bar is now a recognizable design element that makes a 推薦收購手機pixel a 推薦收購手機pixel. What direction will Google take the 推薦收購手機pixel hardware in now that it’s at the beginning of injecting generative AI into its phones? Zellweger gives Inverse a tease on what’s to come.Hardware Is No HobbyClaude Zellweger, Google’s Director of Industrial Design, is in charge of developing the look and feel of new 推薦收購手機pixel hardware.Photograph by Raymond WongZellweger has been at Google since 2016. Prior to arriving at the Mountain View, California-based technology titan, Zellweger was a creative director at HTC, where he worked on the Vive VR headsets. He joined Google to do industrial design for Google’s ill-fated Daydream headsets and then moved over to the 推薦收購手機pixel hardware team.When we meet in the atrium of the 推薦收購手機pixel design lab (a discrete-looking building that requires high-security clearance), Zellweger’s tall Swiss frame towers over me. But he’s an easy-going guy who lets his goofiness hang out every once in a while. We talk about how the natural light gleaming from the overhead glass and the earthy tones of the furniture keep everyone in the lab invigorated and inspired, and where and what he and his team draw from to design Google hardware. Our focus is on the 推薦收購手機pixel phones, but Zellweger reminds me that all of Google’s hardware (推薦收購手機pixel phones, tablets, smartwatches, wireless earbuds, Chromebooks, Nest smart home products, etc.) are designed so that they not only work together, but look cohesive.“There are a ton of eyes on us including the CEO [Sundar Pichai] who cares about having a really well thought-out and deeply integrated experience, and there is a pressure in the sense that we need to be successful as a company,” Zellweger says. “Making hardware went from a hobby to becoming a critical element for the Google business.”“Making hardware went from a hobby to becoming a critical element for the Google business.”Pichai’s involvement in the 推薦收購手機pixel wasn’t always a given. Just four years ago, when Google launched the 推薦收購手機pixel 4a, a mid-range phone that was entirely forgettable, it seemed as though the company was done with smartphone innovation. But then a year later, Google released the 推薦收購手機pixel 6 and 6 Pro, marking the start of what has been a three-year run of high-end phones, with custom Google-designed Tensor silicon and packages that compete head-on with iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones with gorgeous designs, versatile cameras, top-notch displays, and big batteries, but that also leap ahead of them in terms of AI features.“[Pichai] loves design. He actually has great insights. He will comment on color, ergonomics, on things like that. But at the end of the day, it’s [Rick Osterloh, Senior Vice President of Devices & Services at Google] hardware organization.” (After my trip, Osterloh was promoted from leading only Google hardware to also overseeing Android and Chrome services.)The Limitations Of Phone DesignSince the 推薦收購手機pixel 6, the Google’s phone hardware has been designed around the prominent camera bar.As I walked around the design lab — only a portion of which was made available to me, with several tables of presumably unreleased products covered with large white tarps — I ogled at the various products and color schemes laid out on shelves and in cabinets on one side of the room. There were products from all over the world, brought back by team members, in many colors and patterns. Zellweger opened one empty drawer and told me it had been crawling with ants because it had been filled with candy — a colorful inspiration from around the world. On another wall of shelves were all of Google’s current hardware — a spectrum from black, green, blue, white, and pink — really highlighting how they all look as an ecosystem of products as opposed to standalone ones.“We try not to look too much at other tech for inspiration,” Zellweger says as I observe the different cloth-like fabrics, plastics, and metals of the 推薦收購手機pixel lineup. “We have to be aware of it, but that’s definitely not where we’re looking.”“We try not to look too much at other tech for inspiration.”“A design language should never be rigid,” Zellweger says, explaining why the 推薦收購手機pixel Fold’s camera bar doesn’t stretch edge to edge like it does on the non-folding 推薦收購手機pixel phones. “It should always allow for you to design the best for that particular category. If you have a foldable, it’s a different proposition when you open it up and it becomes a tablet. The camera bar, from edge to edge, doesn’t work very well. It’s only on one side so we created this free-floating element that’s sitting better within the overall shape.”A recognizable product with a strong visual element like the camera bar is important for brand awareness, but at the end of the day, Google’s industrial designers still have to work with physical restraints.“You need to always think about every aspect of the product. One of the important things is 90 percent of people use cases. With the 推薦收購手機pixel 8, seriously going forward, we’ve begun to design the product with the case together from the beginning. So just like color is not an afterthought, cases cannot be an afterthought, because you have to design it as such that it looks great and feels great.”Big Hero 6The current generation of 推薦收購手機pixel phones (推薦收購手機pixel 6, 7, and 8) is nearing its end. The 推薦收購手機pixel 9 should come with a redesign, but one that’s not too radically different.Photograph by Raymond WongSince the introduction of the horizontal camera bar on the 推薦收購手機pixel 6 series, it does feel like a purposeful design evolution was unleashed. The camera bar not only looks unique, but it also balances the phone so that it doesn’t rock on a flat surface such as a table. The camera bar elevates the 推薦收購手機pixel phones at a slant so it’s easier to glance at, but the non-rocking factor really is a touch that Apple, Samsung, and other phone makers clearly don’t consider.“[The camera bar] is functional but also static to create a better visual balance,” he says. “It’s just a little switch that we turned on a couple of generations ago.”Though Zellweger didn’t start working on the 推薦收購手機pixel’s industrial design until the “modern era” (aka the “推薦收購手機pixel bar era”), he points to three distinct design eras for the eight generations of 推薦收購手機pixel phones, presented on three trays in front of us. In the first era, there’s the 推薦收購手機pixel 1, 2, and 3 — with a two-tone rear finish that accommodates a single rear camera. Then, in the second era, there’s the 推薦收購手機pixel 4 and 5 — these phones had a square camera bump (before the iPhone did!). And then, the third or modern era as Zellweger calls it includes the 推薦收購手機pixel 6, 7, and 8 — three generations of refining the camera bar.“When you look back at these [推薦收購手機pixel 1, 2, and 3], the camera placement is kind of arbitrary and wherever the engineering could fit it because we didn’t have the deep engineering design integration that we have today. But [the 推薦收購手機pixel 4 and 5] is really the first time where the camera became one of the primary design elements. With the introduction of two cameras, we had this opportunity to really create a strong graphical icon that harkens back to the playfulness of the Google brand.”The triple-lens camera sensors for the Google 推薦收購手機pixel 8 Pro.Photograph by Raymond WongIt’s really with the 推薦收購手機pixel 6 that Zellweger says they decided to lean more into the cameras as a strong part of the 推薦收購手機pixel’s industrial design. If Google is claiming it has the best camera in any phone, then the hardware should project that.“[The phone design of the 推薦收購手機pixel 6] was driven by our desire to have a much more sophisticated camera module,” he says. “We wanted the [triple lenses] to be more hidden in a way rather than look like individual lenses. We wanted to create this kind of Mondrian architectural, graphic element with multipl
