Google misses the deadline to manufacture TSMC-based SoC for the Pixel 9, may not see till Pixel 10 (www.androidauthority.com)

Looks like Google falls further behind as they fail to properly design and update newer iterations of Pixel phones. Rather than have a superior TSMC chip within the next 13 months, which would have a higher quality manufacturing process and significantly reduce power consumption, it looks like it'll be closer to 25 months if we're lucky.

As a Pixel 7 Pro user, I love my phone, but can't help but to want a more efficient chip with higher expectations of the battery life a TSMC chip would have.

I originally planned on getting a Pixel 9 with this in mind, but it looks like the earliest we may be getting a Pixel with this chip will be in 2025 on the release of Pixel 10.

So much for sticking with odd-numbered phones!

That's why as a P6P user, this is my last pixel for a while.

Have my eye on the One Plus phone that's coming out early 24' for now.

I don't have faith in Google to keep the spyware bloat down, battery consumption down, overheating down, or add a higher quality display for outdoor use.

At this point the Pixel is 2 years behind the competition.

As a former One Plus owner... don't bother. They're not what they used to be.

Shit, I had no idea where did they go astray in your opinion.

The proprietary charging tech sucks. They've been absorbed back into their parent company to the most part.

I thought earlier rumors already pointed towards sticking with Samsung for G4. TSMC prices are too high for now.

seems the rumors started back in May

Welp, guess I'm sitting in my 6a for awhile. Mainly wanting to upgrade for a better in-display fingerprint scanner and wireless charging. The rest of the phone is pretty much perfect, especially the speakers on this thing. Though the Google Tensor cpu is kinda disappointing, and wish it had more memory. Though I paid like $250 for this thing after a trade in.
