Launched in 2015, Google today is expanding its Android Security Rewards Program with a new Pixel Titan M prize, and detailing highlights from the past year.
At last week’s 10/9 event, the company cited security as one of the three tentpole experiences that it provides to customers. Google has achieved this through its Titan line of custom security chips. After detailing the benefits of the Titan M on the Pixel 3 this morning, Google today published a technical deep dive on the chip.
Google’s Pixel 3 doesn’t completely overhaul the company’s flagship smartphone, but it includes a lot of welcome upgrades. One of those is the new Titan M security chip which is built into the device. Now, Google is detailing a few ways in which that chip makes the Pixel 3 its most secure smartphone to date.
With every new device released, it’s tradition for someone (read: iFixit) to meticulously take it apart piece by piece. Sometimes, like in the case of the Pixelbook, an absolute feat of engineering is discovered. Today, a new Pixel 3 XL teardown reveals what Google is hiding beneath the glass surface.
