Pixel 7a's Tensor G2 chip differs from Pixel 7's.
A discovery suggests that Google has used a different packaging method for the Tensor G2 chip inside the Pixel 7a, which may cause the phone to heat up quicker and experience reduced overall performance for users. Google previously used Samsung's FOPLP-PoP proprietary technology to lay the Tensor G2 chip inside its previous phones for a cooler, faster device. The change in packaging method may have saved Google some extra money, but it remains unclear what concrete effects this cheaper method has on the device.
