We've reached a point in smartphone history where mid-range phones are incredibly fast and dependable. Flagships feature even better hardware, as top-of-the-line processors can power fast experiences, advanced camera features, and AI. That's why we can't expect major performance upgrades from year to year.
Even so, the Pixel 9's Tensor G4 might disappoint some Android fans, especially those looking for a significant speed bump over the Pixel 8 series. A new report says the Tensor G4 will only offer marginal speed gains over its predecessor.
Moreover, it won't pack any significant changes to the parts of the chip that handle photo processing or AI. That might be a good thing for Pixel 8 users, however. Google might port whatever exclusive Android features it adds to the Pixel 9 series, including some unique AI apps that have already leaked, to the Pixel 8.
