InnoReviews verdict

Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 wins this mobile chipset face-off, 53.2 to 51.4, pulling ahead mainly in benchmarks (+7) and GPU (+1). Google Tensor G4 still makes sense if its price or standout specs fit your needs better.

Editor's note

An awkward one for Google: the mid-range Snapdragon beats the Pixel flagship chip in every benchmark row — AnTuTu (1.4M versus 1.05M), multi-core and GPU alike. The Tensor G4's case was never raw speed; it is the on-device AI features and Google's update policy in the phones it ships in. If you are choosing between phones built on these chips, the 7+ Gen 3 device will feel faster in games; the Pixel will take better photos and age better in software.
