While the Pixel 9 lineup is still fresh, with its Tensor G4 chip and sleek hardware, new reports are already surfacing about the Pixel 10 and Pixel 11. For anyone who held off on the Pixel 9 series hoping for a bigger internal upgrade from Google, there may be good news on the horizon.
According to industry insiders and recent reports, Google and TSMC are reportedly eyeing a longterm partnership that would have the Taiwan-based company produce the upcoming Tensor G5, expected in the 2025 Pixel 10, and the Tensor G6, expected in the 2026 Pixel 11. Currently, Google has been working with Samsung Foundry to manufacture Tensor chips, with the current Tensor G4 built on Samsung’s 4nm process.
News of Google potentially switching to TSMC isn’t new; the first report on this surfaced back in May. What’s new, however, concerns the Pixel 11 and the rumored Tensor G6 expected in 2026. According to the report, the Tensor G6 will reportedly be based on TSMC’s 2nm platform. In practical terms, that would translate to better performance and reduced power consumption compared to the current chip.
The Pixel 10 launch is still a ways off, but development and production of these devices happens well before their official release. Because of that timeline, more details about Google’s plans should emerge relatively soon.
