Update - Google's Vice President of Hardware, Peng Yu-Chun, has confirmed to Economic Daily News that all Pixel 11 models ship with the 3nm Tensor G6. Given that the Tensor G5 utilized the 3nm N3P technology, Google likely stuck with this lithography. It would be considered an achievement of the ages if the Tensor G6 were announced as Google’s and the smartphone industry’s first 2nm SoC. However, even after the Pixel 11 lineup’s unveiling is over and pre-orders have kicked off, we have zero confirmation on the SoC’s lithography, so we dug around and, based on what we could gather, we […]

Google’s Pixel 11 family has finally been announced, but the arrival of the new flagships is a bittersweet moment for those who are planning to upgrade to a top-end smartphone, because the RAM crisis has been anything but kind to consumers. Fortunately, Amazon is spreading a truckload of kindness, and its Pixel 11 pre-orders are proof of that. Why? Well, depending on which model you purchase, you can either get your hands on a $350 gift card or a whopping $400 in bundle savings if you purchase the Pixel Watch 5. Despite the Pixel 11 Pro models being $100 more expensive than […]

Google spoiled its own Pixel 11 party by unveiling the brand-new smartphone series hours earlier than the planned event, removing a sizable chunk of anticipation. While the Pixel 11 has shaped up to be a strong albeit iterative update, there are still a few surprises that have caught us off guard. Behold the Pixel 11, the Pixel 11 Pro, the Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display, Dimensions, and Form Factor The series brings notable refinements to the displays and physical design, including a 40 percent thinner, all-glass camera bar. All three phones feature IP68 ratings […]

The Pixel 11 family is being prepped for a launch next month, and with it, Google will announce its brand-new Tensor G6 silicon. Irrespective of whether Mountain View titan cannot be included in the same conversation as Apple, Qualcomm, and MediaTek regarding chipset advancements, there’s one area in which Google excels, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the company has the upper hand. Pixel 11’s Tensor G6 to be TSMC’s first 2nm chipset, obtaining a one-month lead over Apple’s A20 Pro While Apple, Qualcomm, and MediaTek will be busy unveiling their chipsets in September, Google has an upper hand because its […]

With the new Google Pixel 11 series presumably all set for a debut as soon as this August, the supply chain-sourced leaks are picking up their pace, as is typical for the pre-launch stage. A new report, however, has created substantial turbulence within the heretofore rather staid expectations for the Pixel 11 lineup, disclosing a purported bump in base storage, higher prices, and new color options. The Google Pixel 11 lineup is apparently saying farewell to the base 128GB storage tier, with material price hikes also in the offing According to Dealabs, Google is eliminating the base 128GB storage tier […]

After almost six generations of Tensor chipset launches, Google still hasn’t figured out that its custom silicon is one of the biggest selling points of a smartphone. We thought that by switching to TSMC, the Tensor G5 could finally be rid of the performance curse that plagued past SoC releases, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. Looking at the company’s Q1 2026 statistics, its U.S. smartphone market share could continue to dwindle if it ignores this specific aspect of its devices. Then again, Google can also capitalize on other areas, assuming it wants the Pixel 11 family to remain one […]

Such is the state of aesthetics around Google's Pixel lineup that even a minor reduction in the size of bezels, as appears to be the case with the upcoming Pixel 11 smartphone, at least based on new CAD renders, is a cause for unbridled celebration. Is Google finally getting over its fetish for all things ugly? One can fervently hope so. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders reveal a nominally thinner device, replete with slimmer bezels OnLeaks and Android Headlines have now published some of the first CAD renders for the upcoming Google Pixel 11. As such, the device is expected […]

The Tensor G5 was a missed opportunity for Google because it was the company’s first chipset to be mass produced by TSMC, and it still managed to be slower than a near-six-year-old A14 Bionic found in the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Normally, we’d forgive the Mountain View giant’s mistakes, but according to the latest leak, history could repeat itself, as a new Tensor G6 leak suggests it will likely share its predecessor’s disappointing attributes, meaning that the Pixel 11 launch could once more be an entire generation behind its rivals. Tensor G6 to feature a 7-core CPU in new Geekbench 6 leak, compromising […]
