Google’s Tensor G4 may have minor upgrades over Tensor G3

Google is collaborating with Samsung’s System LSI department to develop the Tensor G4 chip, codenamed Zuma Pro. According to a report by Android Authority, this chip is closely based on Samsung’s Exynos 2400 and is expected to deliver slightly improved performance compared to its predecessor, the nine-core Tensor G3 chip.

The Tensor G3 chip codenamed Zuma is being developed with input from Samsung’s Exynos 2300 chip, which has not been released yet. During the development phase, the G3 chip is being tested on a “Ripcurrent” board, while the G4 chip utilizes a “Ripcurrent Pro” board.

In 2025, Google aims to launch the Pixel 10 smartphone featuring the fully custom-designed Tensor G5 chip. A significant shift in the manufacturing process involves moving from Samsung to TSMC for producing the Tensor G5 chip. This marks Google’s ambitious step toward creating a unique chip for its future devices.

According to past reports, Google is set to release the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones, featuring the Tensor G3 chip, on October 4, 2023. These phones will boast improved designs and upgraded cameras.

Both models will include larger ISOCELL GN2 main camera sensors. Additionally, the Pixel 8 Pro will have a 64MP ultra-wide-angle camera, while the Pixel 8 will feature a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera. The Pixel 8 Pro is reported to include a 48MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom capabilities.
