New evidence indicates that the Pixel 10a will use the older Tensor G4 chip instead of the newer Tensor G5 found in the Pixel 10 series, suggesting a minimal update and potential cost-saving measure by Google.
The upcoming Google Pixel 10a is rumored to feature older hardware, including the Tensor G4 chip and UFS 3.1 storage, with no telephoto camera or Magic Cue AI feature, likely to keep costs low, and is expected to launch in 2026.
Google has reportedly canceled the Pixel Tablet 2, not the Pixel Tablet 3 as previously thought. The Pixel Tablet 2, which was to feature a first-party keyboard case and be powered by the Tensor G4 SoC, was expected to launch next year. Concerns over potential financial losses are cited as the reason for its cancellation. It remains uncertain whether the Pixel Tablet 3 will be rebranded as the Pixel Tablet 2 or if Google will discontinue the Pixel Tablet line altogether.
The Pixel 9 series' Tensor G4 chipset specs have leaked, revealing a slight performance boost over the Pixel 8's Tensor G3. The new chip, featuring an ARMv9-A core architecture, scored 1.07 million, 1.14 million, and 1.17 million points for the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL, respectively, in AnTuTu benchmark tests. Despite the minimal upgrade, the final performance of the Pixel 9 series remains to be seen.
Leaked information reveals that Google's upcoming Pixel 9 lineup, powered by the Tensor G4, will include three models: Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. Benchmark results show a 33% performance improvement for the Pixel 9 Pro XL over the Pixel 8, likely due to better cooling and advanced packaging technology. Despite this, the Tensor G4 may still lag behind competitors like Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9300.
Leaked benchmarks of the upcoming Pixel 9 models reveal the power of the new Tensor G4 chipset, showing significant performance improvements over the Pixel 8. Despite the same chip specs, different scores across the models suggest better heat dissipation in larger versions. The Tensor G4 features eight cores with increased clock speeds, and while pre-release scores are promising, further software optimizations are expected before the official release in October.
A recent leak reveals that the upcoming Google Pixel 9 will feature a modest performance boost over the Pixel 8, thanks to the new Tensor G4 chipset. The Pixel 9 series, including the standard, Pro, and Pro XL models, shows improved benchmark scores, indicating better performance and power efficiency. However, the performance increase may not be significantly noticeable in everyday use. The Pixel 9 is expected to be unveiled around October.
Leaked benchmarks of the Pixel 9 series reveal the new Tensor G4 chip with an 8-core configuration and modest performance improvements over the Pixel 8. The Pixel 9 Pro XL scores the highest on AnTuTu, but the performance gains are not drastic. The Tensor G4's performance is comparable to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 may outpace it. The Pixel 10's expected switch to TSMC for the Tensor G5 could further challenge the Pixel 9 series' competitiveness.
Leaked benchmarks for the upcoming Pixel 9 series reveal details about the Tensor G4 chip, which features a 1+3+4 core configuration with a Cortex-X4 prime core. The benchmarks show significant performance improvements over previous models, with the Pixel 9 Pro XL scoring the highest. The Tensor G4, made using Samsung's 4nm process, promises better power efficiency and heat management. However, the upcoming Tensor G5 in the Pixel 10 is expected to switch to TSMC, potentially impacting buyer decisions this year.
Google's next foldable Android phone is rumored to be named the "Pixel 9 Pro Fold," aligning it with the upcoming Pixel 9 lineup and featuring the same Tensor G4 processor. The rebranding suggests that the foldable will offer similar features to the Pixel 9 series, with "Pro" branding indicating the inclusion of professional-level features. It remains uncertain when the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will be launched, but if included in the fall 2024 lineup, Google could potentially release four "Pixel 9" devices simultaneously, setting itself apart from other Android device makers.
The upcoming Google Pixel 9 series will feature a new modem, the Samsung Modem 5400, with support for satellite connectivity, addressing previous connectivity issues. The modem will also be used in the next-gen Pixel Fold and a future 5G tablet. The Pixel 9 series will be the first to support Android's native satellite messaging, allowing for emergency communication via a "Satellite Gateway" app. While not a Qualcomm modem, the upgrade is expected to improve stability and offer a valuable emergency feature.
Google's upcoming Tensor G4 chip is expected to adopt a new packaging method from Samsung, potentially leading to improved power efficiency and heat management. The chip will utilize Samsung's latest 4nm process and a newer Fan-out Wafer Level Packaging (FOWLP) method, building on the success of Tensor G3. This move is seen as a minor upgrade over the existing G3 chip, with Google reportedly planning to transition to TSMC for the release of Tensor G5 in 2025's Pixel 10 series. Tensor G4 is anticipated to be used in the Pixel 9 series and Pixel Fold 2.
A tipster claimed that Google's upcoming Tensor G4 chip is based on Samsung's Exynos 2400, but the specifications and GPU differences suggest otherwise. The tipster later clarified that the Tensor G4 could be a semi-custom SoC utilizing ARM's CPU and GPU designs, possibly taking advantage of Samsung's fabrication and packaging technologies. Until Google switches to TSMC as its foundry partner, the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro may not pose a significant performance threat, but could focus on other features like on-device AI capabilities and camera improvements.
A mysterious Google device codenamed "Tokay" with 8GB of RAM and the latest Android 14 has appeared on Geekbench, hinting at the use of the upcoming Tensor G4 chipset. Speculation suggests it could be a variant of the Pixel 9 series or the rumored Pixel Fold 2, with the possibility of sharing the same chipset and features. However, until an official announcement is made, the details remain speculative.
Google's upcoming Tensor G4 SoC, set to power the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel Fold 2, has allegedly appeared on Geekbench with an 8-core CPU and Arm Mali G715 GPU, raising questions about its CPU configuration. The listing shows a reduction in core count compared to its predecessor, the Tensor G3, and lower performance in Geekbench scores. The chip is expected to be manufactured on Samsung's 4LPP+ node, similar to the Exynos 2400, and may face competition from flagship offerings by Qualcomm and MediaTek.
