Google’s new Tensor G6 brings serious performance, efficiency, and security upgrades to the Pixel 11 series
On the surface, the new Pixel 11 series may seem like an iterative refresh, but the devices bring one big change under the hood. All four models pack Google’s new Tensor G6 chip, which is designed to make the latest generation of Pixels faster, more efficient, and better at handling the AI features that define the lineup. Faster, smarter, and more efficient Google says the Tensor G6 delivers up to 25% faster browsing and 15% faster app loads compared to last year’s Tensor G5.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
On the surface, the new Pixel 11 series may seem like an iterative refresh, but the devices bring one big change under the hood. All four models pack Google’s new Tensor G6 chip, which is designed to make the latest generation of Pixels faster, more efficient, and better at handling the AI features that define the lineup. Faster, smarter, and more efficient Google says the Tensor G6 delivers up to 25% faster browsing and 15% faster app loads compared to last year’s Tensor G5. The chip pairs an upgraded Image Signal Processor with a new TPU that Google says is 50% more powerful than the previous generation, enabling features like the 120x Pro Zoom and Instant Night Sight on the Pro models. The latter, Google says, allows users to capture low-light shots up to 4.5 times faster.
