Google announced its fall lineup of Pixel phones today: three standard phones and a second tablet-esque folding model. There are new chips, new cameras, Satellite SOS, and some notable promises, like the 9 phones being “twice as durable” as their Pixel 8 equivalents and getting seven years of updates. But as you might expect this year, they’re primarily showcases for all the things Google’s Gemini AI promises to do for you.

        Definitely to this extent.

        Google started making the Tensor mobile SoC because Qualcomm (and everyone else) weren’t investing enough in hardware for ML/AI. We just happen to be seeing a lot of years of investment finally culminating now.
