The dust has only just settled on the launch of theGoogle Pixel 7and theGoogle Pixel 7 Pro, but already rumours about their successors is coming thick and fast. Widely regarded as two of thebest Android phonesat the moment, the range gained fans for its AI-integration, particularly in the camera.

Just yesterday, we heard more details about theGoogle’s next-gencheap phone– theGoogle Pixel 7a– but today’s news is arguably even more juicy. According to tech tipster,The Galox, the next generation of Google’s Tensor chipset will use a 3nm fabrication process.

That would see the Tensor line skip 4nm altogether, jumping straight from the 5nmTensor G2to a 3nm Tensor G3. In real terms, that should offer a significant boost to performance capabilities and efficiency, with The Galox adding that, “Performance will be a lot closer to other flagships.”

It’s a big upgrade for Pixel phones. TheSnapdragon 8 Gen 2chipset which powers most of this years' flagship handsets – like theSamsung Galaxy S23 Ultraand theXiaomi 13 Pro– uses a 4nm process. Similarly,Apple’s current processors all use 4nm fabrication, although their next generation is slated to use aTSMC 3nm process, too. The Tensor would use Samsung’s fabrication process.

The Pixel 7a, as well as other rumoured devices like theGoogle Pixel Tablet, are expected to be unveiled at theGoogle I/Oevent, which usually takes place each May. The next generation of premium Pixel handsets would be unlikely here though. That’s expected later in the year – around October.
