Google's Pixel 10 series is gearing up to be its most ambitious smartphone launch yet, featuring three models: Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL. Set to release in October 2025, this lineup will utilize the new Tensor G5 chip manufactured by TSMC, marking a significant break from Samsung's foundry. While AI capabilities are emphasized, early reports suggest it may still lag behind competitors like Apple's A-series and Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips in raw performance. Design changes and price increases are also anticipated.
One of the biggest stories is the Tensor G5 chipset, which marks Google's break from Samsung's foundry. Instead, the new chip is reportedly being manufactured by TSMC, the same foundry used by Apple and Qualcomm.
While this sounds promising, early testing hints that the Tensor G5 might still prioritize AI and efficiency over raw performance. According to PhoneArena, even though the G5 is faster than its predecessor, it may not outpace Apple's A-series chips or Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
