    Isn’t that nice for the Pixel8. I wonder what’s holding them back do the same for older models with their chip. Like the Pixel6

      I remember reading an article few days ago about this. The gist is:

      • Google was not confident with Tensor 1 & 2 chips and didn’t want to burden itself with a hardware that was going to be difficult to support.
      • Previous iterations of Pixel had Qualcomm chips, and QC doesn’t support its chip for that long.
