Looks like Google falls further behind as they fail to properly design and update newer iterations of Pixel phones. Rather than have a superior TSMC chip within the next 13 months, which would have a higher quality manufacturing process and significantly reduce power consumption, it looks like it’ll be closer to 25 months if we’re lucky.
As a Pixel 7 Pro user, I love my phone, but can’t help but to want a more efficient chip with higher expectations of the battery life a TSMC chip would have.
I originally planned on getting a Pixel 9 with this in mind, but it looks like the earliest we may be getting a Pixel with this chip will be in 2025 on the release of Pixel 10.
So much for sticking with odd-numbered phones!
