It's an interesting move for sure.

Never seen such garbage company in my life. Hopefully it will get bankrupt soon if it doesn't match or beat Snapdragon performance speed.

Pixel's efficiency has been bad ever since they started with their own Tensor chip on Pixel 6 series.

I don't think the Tensor G5/Pixel 10 series will change that despite moving to TSMC-based production and MediaTek modem from Samsung-made components, although some improvement will be there, but not sure in which form and how many percentages will it be better, considering we're still 8 months away from next Google Pixel phone.

Gonna keep the cost lower while selling it at a higher price, I guess.

                Hot take: I really don't care who Google sources the modem from as long as they stop breaking it every third or fourth monthly update. It doesn't have to be perfect (but I'd like it) but I'd really appreciate consistency above all else at this point.

                  403 Forbidden, 17 Dec 2024Ofc it is, because 870 is already efficient in the first pl... moreTheir last Tsmc soc was sd 765G not 870, that's how Google operate, they won't spend much on soc, according to AndroidAuthority G5 going to use X4 instead of X925. They are going to use powerVR gpu, and NPU is 9-18 Tops, so don't be suprised if next gen midrange soc like D8400, sd 8s elite, 7+ gen 4 etc to be better overall.

Even Qualcomm suffer a lot efficient wise when they use External modem.

                              WHat nonsense u talking bout performance? u have never used wifi 7 right ? nor 6ghz hospot wifi6e

                                No difference between Pixel and Huawei chip performance. I love Pixel and Huawei. Choosing Pixel over other Android manufacturers like Samsung will be a hard deal due to performance and GPU performance, my major issue with Huawei is soft support am not much concerned about the performance due to their smooth OS performance and integration. Two things that are important to me most is Hardware(Performance) and Software. I will render have Huawei and Honor Tablets than any other brands tablets. As soon as Google Tensor is up to pair with the rest am going for Google Pixel Pro for my smaller and compact size phone. Once Huawei are free from Stupid and baseless US hegemony sanctions am going for their Mate Series. My Top Tablet will always be Huawei or Honor. Samsung will have a hard chance winning me over once these brands meet up with these terms. Samsung uses excellent Software and Hardware to hold and attract customers but recently they have been lacking behind with Apple with rivals when it comes to Battery and other essential camera components

                                    I will only buy a Google Pixel phone when it has a TSMC latest chip. Untill then folks ⚠️📵 no for now.
