Google has a good track record of not being able to keep its unreleased phones secret for long. The Pixel 9 series isn’t an exception in this regard. Previously, we had detailed images of the upcoming phones, and now, the Tensor G4 benchmark results are out. As per the benchmarks, the new SoC won’t offer a big performance jump from its predecessor.

    I’m pretty sure they’re just treading water this year, and focusing on their in-house design for the Tensor G5 in 2025. Hopefully it doesn’t break Graphene support.

      I though G4 was supposed to bring a big improvement to the modem, or is that going to be G5?

        I’ll tell you a secret it well always be the next one. Has been that way forever with Google hardware. Don’t know why people still think they well do something magical at this point.

          Possibly, lol. Although going from Samsung’s to their own completely custom silicon will be the best chance of seeing some actual improvements.

        It’s sounding like an upgrade from Exynos 5300 to 5400, so I’m not expecting much.
