Google Tensor G6 is a mobile system-on-chip designed by Google for use in Pixel smartphones.
… It's not clear from the screenshot, but Google may switch to a 7-core CPU layout for the Tensor G6, using only one C1 Ultra core. For comparison, the Tensor G5 packs an 8-core CPU. At least from a CPU viewpoint, the Pixel 11's Tensor G6 looks promising. …
… As previously rumored, Google also plans to use MediaTek's newest M90 modem on the Tensor G6 , replacing the power-hungry Exynos modem found in current Pixel phones. The leaker believes that Google will upgrade the camera sensors across the entire Pixel 11 lineup this year. …
… More importantly, the Tensor G6 will mark Google's complete shift away from Samsung for its SoC , as it will seemingly switch to a newer MediaTek M90 modem. From a design viewpoint at least, it appears Google's upcoming Pixel lineup will not introduce any radical changes. …
… When Google sticks with bad optics, it starts at a disadvantage. Then the Tensor G6 is doing cleanup work on noise that a better sensor could have avoided. Google says the same thing and suddenly remembers physics when it has a hardware leap to sell. …
… Internally, the device is expected to be powered by the Tensor G6 chipset, complete with 12GB of RAM, a minimum of 128GB of storage, and a 5,000mAh cell. …
… Google Pixel 10 SoC Google Tensor G5 RAM 12GB Storage 128GB / 256GB Battery 4970mAh Operating System Android 16 Front camera 10.5 MP Dual PD selfie camera This striking-looking addition to the Pixel line offers a slew of Gemini features, an 5x telephoto lens, and seven years of updates, making this… …
… AI goals don't match up with the hardware reality A redesigned Tensor chip may not be up for the task Another intriguing hardware change for the Pixel 11 involves its Tensor G6 chip. Apparently, Google may switch to a 7-core CPU layout , dropping the 8-core layout in the Tensor G5. …
… For example, rumors say Google is expected to drop Samsung's Exynos modems in favor of a MediaTek M90 5G modem for Pixel 11. Google is also moving to TSMC's 2nm process for the new Tensor G6. …
… It means the Tensor G6 will be held to a higher standard, and whatever goodwill I’ve given Google for Tensor improvements over the last few generations will start to melt away. There’s no easy solution for any manufacturer in 2026, but Google’s in a particularly tough spot. …
