The price of the Google Pixel 8 series has increased in National Taiwan University this year, with the increase reaching as much as nearly 7,000 yuan. In addition to exchange rate and inflation factors, it is also affected by cost increases. However, Google’s price increase may not stop yet. Foreign media reports It is estimated that the Pixel 10 series will be more expensive in the next year.
Google has launched Tensor chips starting with the Pixel 6 series, which are designed and manufactured by Samsung. Unfortunately, they have been criticized for overheating problems and their performance is not as good as Qualcomm and Apple chips. Therefore, there are rumors that Google is trying to get rid of Samsung.
Foreign media PhoneArena said that Google will continue to cooperate with Samsung for next year’s Tensor G4 chip. The performance is expected to be only a slight upgrade. The real major revision will have to wait until 2025’s Tensor G5, which will be the first chip completely developed by Google. , and may adopt TSMC’s 3nm process, which is what the Pixel 10 series will use.
However, Pixel users must be mentally prepared. The cost of switching to TSMC will inevitably be higher, which means that the launch price of the Pixel 10 series will most likely continue to increase, unless Google is willing to sacrifice its own profits.
However, Google is also trying to solve the overheating problem of mobile phones through software, such as the latest Android 14 system. After upgrading, many Pixel phone users believe that overheating and battery life have been improved. Google executives also pointed out that they have made great adjustments in this regard.
