Looks like Google falls further behind as they fail to properly design and update newer iterations of Pixel phones. Rather than have a superior TSMC chip within the next 13 months, which would have a higher quality manufacturing process and significantly reduce power consumption, it looks like it’ll be closer to 25 months if we’re lucky.
I thought earlier rumors already pointed towards sticking with Samsung for G4. TSMC prices are too high for now.
