A lot will be different at Google this year. Starting with the new Android 16, which will be released a few months ago and will have a minor version planned for the first time (in the fall). The Pixel 10 is coming earlier again, probably in the summer. It also brings many new features.
Many innovations have already been leaked in the last few months. Google, for example, is relying on the Tensor G5 chip, which is homegrown and the first to be built by TSMC. Samsung out. Probably with modems as well, for that we work together with MediaTek.
The new chip manufactured by TSMC is based on 3 nanometers and promises more performance and efficiency. But Google doesn’t make an incredibly big leap when you look at the core. According to current findings, the first truly custom chip is clearly designed for AI performance.
The chip is designed more for AI
There are only two low-performance cores and, for the first time, five medium cores. This means that the CPU structure is changing again. Tensor G3 had 1x4x4, Tensor G4 moved to 1x3x4 and Tensor G5 went to 1x5x2. But for the medium core there will be only one generational change.
Google is planning numerous innovations in camera and AI. For example, we’re talking about a new kind of “cinematic rendering engine” that can implement bokeh effects with significantly less power.
But new processing functions are also planned, including “video generative ML” and “speak-to-tweak”. AI is used to make photo and video editing as easy and accessible as possible, even for less experienced users.
Videos with 60 FPS at 4K and 100x zoom were also revealed early through internal documents.
No big leaps are expected in the remaining hardware. Google will likely bring a Pixel 10, as well as a Pixel 10 Pro and a Pixel 10 Pro XL. Support for Qi2 with a magnetic ring, such as the charging standard from the iPhone with a magnetic holder, was already indicated.
