Google revealed the Pixel 6 series last week, and it marks the first time we’re seeing the company’s in-house Tensor processor used in a smartphone. The search colossus made a big deal about how this new chipset was much faster than the Pixel 5‘s silicon.
But truth be told, the Pixel 5 used a mid-range Snapdragon 765G SoC, so it was expected that the Tensor processor would be superior. But how does the Pixel 6 fare against the Pixel 4?
