RIP Exynos;
Tensor G1 (2021) - Tensor G5 (2025) 🪦🥀

​It's fair to say that Google's Exynos-backed Tensor era is actually coming to an end – day by day.

With the Tensor G5 being the very first Google-made SOC produced by TSMC, the most well-known competitor to Samsung Foundries, it seems like Google is now preparing for another major shift.

We will be straight: Tensor G6 (codenamed: Malibu) is full of surprises, including a brand-new modem, currently undergoing early internal testing.

We're talking about the - latest and greatest - MediaTek M90, unveiled at the MWC2025.

This modem is significantly faster and more energy-efficient compared to the current Tensor G5's modem, the Exynos 5400(i), featuring top-of-the-class features and record-breaking network speeds, possibly putting an end to Google Pixel's notoriously bad battery life as early as next year.

While it's still too early for definitive conclusions, what's your take? Comment down below!
