Google Tensor G5 Announced Globally

Tensor G5 powers the Pixel 10 series is manufactured by TSMC on its 3nm node. The CPU is 33% more powerful than Tensor G4 while the GPU is 33% weaker than Tensor G4.

CPU:
โ€ข 1x Cortex-X4 @ 3.78GHz
โ€ข 5x Cortex-A725 @ 3.05GHz
โ€ข 2x Cortex-A520 @ 2.25GHz

Geekbench 6 scores:
Single-core: 2324
Multi-core: 6439

GPU: IMG PowerVR DXT-48 1536 with 1 core only and 6 CU.
Tensor G5 Vulkan: 3754
Tensor G4 Vulkan: 9370

Funfact: Pixel 10 Pro prototype with Tensor G5 had 2 cores and 12 compute units while the production one has 1 core and 6 CU. Thus, Google nerfed the GPU in prod as compared to proto
(I doubt if Pixel 10 series can run even PUBG properly lol)

Modem: Revised Samsung Exynos 5400
RAM: LPDDR5X
Storage: UFS 4.0 (256GB+, UFS 3.1 on 128GB)

Interestingly, 512GB storage model in the US and 1TB models worldwide features Zoned UFS. ZUFS is a new technology that improves the performance & endurance of traditional UFS. Its major benefit is increasing lifetime of mobile storage chips & SK Hynix estimates that, ZUFS can improve it upto 40%.

TPU: 60% more powerful
Latest Gemini Nano model runs 2.6x faster and 2x more efficiently for use cases like Pixel Screenshots and Recorder

New ISP (Image Signal Processor)
โ€ข Reduced blur in low-light videos
โ€ข 10-bit HDR by default for 1080p
โ€ข 4K/30fps video capture
However, NO 8K local support

Some Additional Info on Pixel 10 series

1. Pixel 10 series supports Wi-fi 7 (Pixel 10: Wi-Fi 6E) and Bluetooth v6.0.

2. Like the iPhone 15 and 16 series, Pixel 10 series (except Pixel 10) supports Thread radio network. This means you should be able to use them to set up & pair Matter-over-Thread smart home devices. While the Pixel 9 Pro models also has the hardware, it looks like only the Pixel 10 Pro line is officially certified.

3. Pixel 10 series are the 1st devies to support both Av1 and VP9 encoding. This means you can shoot videos in both AV1 and VP9.

4. Pixel 10 series (except Pixel 10) comes with 480Hz at 120Hz refresh rate PWM display dimming. It only works on inner screen on Pixel 10 Pro fold though & the option to boost it to 480Hz is available under accessibility in settings.

5. Pixel 10 series (except Pixel 10) can capture 50MP portrait mode images using the main camera. However, it doesnโ€™t support portrait mode on the telephoto sensor, unlike the Vivo X200 Ultra.

6. Pixel 10 series are the 2nd Android smartphones to support Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets. The Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro supports upto 15W. Pixel 10 Pro Fold supports latest Qi 2.2 spec, thus it can charge at 25W.

7. To support Qi2, Google has "removed" wireless battery sharing feature from the Pixel 10 series

YouTube is coming for Premium Family Member crackdown just like Netflix

YouTube will soon start flagging Premium Family accounts where members donโ€™t actually live in the same household as the plan manager.

Your YouTube Premium family membership will be paused


The message warns that if YouTubeโ€™s systems detect youโ€™re not at the same physical address as your plan manager, youโ€™ll lose Premium access within 14 days. Members who are flagged will still stay in the family group but will only be able to watch YouTube with ads unless they contact Google support to verify their eligibility.

Android and Chrome will still be part of Google
- in August 2024, a US district judge deemed Google a monopoly, possibly threatening the company to sell some of its products
- Fast forward a year later, the short answer is: Google will not need to sell Android and Chrome
- Google can also continue to pay to maintain its default position in other products
- However, Google will be barred from exclusive contracts that required companies to preload certain Google services to license Play Store
- Additionally, Google has to share certain search data with qualified competitors to promote competition
