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 […]
