InnoReviews verdict

This one is close to a dead heat: Google Tensor G4 scores 53.1 against 53.8 for Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3. Pick by the categories that matter to you — Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 edges ahead in benchmarks and GPU, or by price.

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.
