Google’s Pixel flagship phones have lacked the power to match the best Android and iPhones in the market. Their benchmark scores put them in the lower rung than their price demands. But all that could change with the Pixel 10 series launch in 2025 as the company joins hands with the biggest chipset maker to power the next flagship phones. 

The news coming in from Taiwan via DigiTimes suggests Google and TSMC have signed a deal that brings its chipset to Pixel phones at least until the Pixel 14 series in 2029. 

Pixel 10 Phone Launch: Big Deal For Google 

The Pixel 10 series launch this year is already being tipped to be a big moment for Google and its supposed deal with TSMC suggests the Tensor G5 chipset could be getting the best 3nm process delivered on the handsets. “The cooperation between the two parties will last for many years, at least until the stage of the new Pixel 14, which is about three to five years later", the report added. 

TSMC is also making the Snapdragon 8 Gen SoCs and helps Apple with its own A-series chipsets for iPhones. So their credibility is top-notch and Google could finally offer the flagship-grade performance on the Pixels that people have been craving for all these years. 

Having said that, Google’s deal means it will not use Samsung’s Exynos process for the Tensor chip for the first time since introducing the Pixel lineup in the market. 

Powerful Pixel Phones On The Way? 

We’d like to believe that the company making powerful chipsets for other flagships can deliver the same experience and levels for Google’s upcoming Pixel phones as well. The fact that Google uses the same Tensor chipset on the premium and the a-series means the stakes will be much higher from this year onwards. 

Finally Worth The Price 

The Pixel 9 series starts at around Rs 70,000 while the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL cost well over a lakh. If Google plans to price the Pixel 10 models in this bracket, the TSMC upgrade is not only warranted but eagerly awaited. 

Talking about the Pixel 10 series launch, Google could once again announce the new devices somewhere in August this year. The series could once again feature four models, including the 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL and the 10 Pro Fold. And the new leaks suggest Google will have four colour ways available with the Pixel 10 series, and even the regular model will be getting a colour overhaul.
