Editor's Pick: This year's Google Pixel 10 series has an epic upgrade compared to previous Pixels — the self-developed Tensor SoC manufacturing has switched from Samsung to TSMC, using the extremely advanced 3nm process, putting it in the same generation as Snapdragon 8E and Dimensity 9400+. So will the Pixel 10 series' Tensor G5 performance make a leap? Looking at the table below, you'll notice things aren't so straightforward.

Specifications	Tensor G5	Tensor G4
CPU	1 × Cortex-X4 (3.78GHz); 5 × Cortex-A720 (3.05GHz); 2 × Cortex-A520 (2.25GHz)	1 × Cortex-X4 (3.1GHz); 3 × Cortex-A720 (2.6GHz); 4 × Cortex-A520 (1.92GHz)
GPU	PowerVR DXT-48-1536	Mali-G715 (940MHz)
RAM	LPDDR5X	LPDDR5X
AI Unit	4th Generation Tensor Processing Unit (TPU)	3rd Generation Tensor Processing Unit (TPU)
Manufacturing Process	3nm (TSMC N3P)	4nm (Samsung)

With frequency improvements from process advancements and an increase from 3 to 5 middle cores, the G5 theoretically offers a substantial 34% multi-core performance boost over the G4. But as we all understand, when the starting point is low enough, progress can seem significant. In reality, the much-criticized Samsung S25 Ultra with its Snapdragon 8E scores more than twice as high as the G5 in the same tests and games.

So where are Pixel's advantages? Seven years of system updates is Google's long-standing tradition, while improvements in AI and TPU performance enhance computational photography significantly. You can use Google Lens on any unknown object, and the built-in Gemini will reveal its secrets. The large language models combined with TPU computing power can calculate clearer telephoto images with digital zoom. As long as you're not gaming, you can still trust the Pixel 10 series for everyday experience and photography capabilities.
