The first concrete indications of an chip overhaul after four Google Tensor generations have been discovered in an import/export database, but this will only come with the successor to the Pixel 9 in 2025. It is said to have nothing in common with Samsung's Exynos chipsets and will no longer be produced by Samsung, which has now been proven.

    Thanks for the heads up, I hadn’t considered that as a criterion and was thinking of pulling the trigger. Do you have any recommendations?

      Don’t misunderstand – I loved the phone. But in my area, with my service, it struggled. Many people don’t have this problem. I find it’s a bit choosy.

      I’m not sure I can make a confident recommendation without more information about what you value. There are many respectable options, and Pixel is generally one of the best.

        The combination of clean UI with long promised updates seems like a winning combination. I don’t really play games on my phone. I just want it to go through the basic tasks quickly (photos, voice dictation, app switching etc, I currently have a OnePlus 7 Pro and it has kept up admirably - but being stuck in android 12 with some quirky behaviour is a bit annoying).

        So I guess I’m not looking for a powerhouse - but I do want something that does the basic stuff right - however if it doesn’t bring table stakes (ie if modem or voice quality or other connectivity is subpar) then the rest is not important.
