Exclusive: Google Pixel 9 processor won't be the ambitious chip we hoped for
The Tensor G4 will be a more minor upgrade than initially expected, but Google's chipset plans still offer plenty to look forward to.
8 is going to be important in seeing if any changes have been done to overheating and battery life. If it's only something like a 5-10% improvement to battery life then 9 will most likely be the same if still using Exynos infrastructure.
