Pixel 7 Pro Will Have 2nd Gen Tensor
What does Google plan for Pixel smartphones this year? Now the first interesting information about the upcoming Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro models has emerged. Google uses wild codenames internally and Android 13 gives some clues as well.
The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro get new Samsung hardware
Again, it’s the first Android 13 developer preview to provide clues about what’s planned in Google’s development department for 2022. 9to5Google reported, the new firmware contains references to the efforts surrounding the successor to the Tensor GS101 chip, which was introduced with the Pixel 6 last year. This one consistently listens to the designation GS201 and will probably be accompanied by a Samsung modem that has not yet been officially presented.
Again, a look at the model numbers gives more details. If the Exynos modem 5123, model number “g5123b”, came in the Pixel 6 and with Tensor 1, the GS201 chip is apparently accompanied by the modem model “g5300b”. Based on the model number, we assume that Google’s second-generation Tensor chip will have the Exynos Modem 5300, details of which have not yet been disclosed,” according to 9to5Google’s analysis.
Code Names
A look at the Android 13 code also reveals that the Exynos Modem 5300 has a number of device code names. An internal test board is therefore suspected behind the name “Cloudripper”, but two other names also attract attention.
Google appears to have given the two codenames “Cheetah” and “Panther” to the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. This name also announces a small restructuring at Google. Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro were developed under the names “Oriole” and “Raven”, so they had taken their names from the realm of birds, the Pixel 6a was to be called “Bluejay” internally and the Pixel Notepad “Pipit”, too. bird names. The codename scheme now seems to be heading towards the cat world with the Pixel 7 generation.
