1 / 3Photo 1 of 3Google Tensor G2
A gentle iteration that kept the Pixel 7 on the dual-X1 layout while a faster TPU unlocked Photo Unblur and clearer calls. Efficiency and ML features, not benchmarks, remained the point — and the weakness against same-year rivals.
Pros
- Upgraded TPU unlocked Photo Unblur
- Well-tuned real-world Pixel 7 performance
- Improved ISP and Super Res Zoom
- Kept Pixel prices below rival flagships
Cons
- Dual-X1 layout was already dated
- Mali-G710 delivers midfield gaming
- Modest CPU gains over the original Tensor
Below average
