Google Pixel 9 to Offer Only Incremental Chip Upgrade: Custom SoC Plans Delayed to Pixel 10

As the eagerly awaited Google Pixel 8 event draws near, discussions about the Google Pixel 9 have already begun to surface, and it appears that the 2024 flagship smartphone may offer a more modest upgrade in the chipset department.

Sources cited by Android Authority indicate that the Tensor G4 chip destined for the Pixel 9 will be “semi-custom” and developed in collaboration with Samsung’s System LSI division. Furthermore, it is suggested that this chipset upgrade will likely be more incremental than initially anticipated.
