Last year's Google Pixel 6 was the first in which the company used its own chipset named Tensor. However, not everything inside this chipset was designed exclusively by Google. The LSI System division of Samsung was also involved in the development itself, and next year will probably be no different. It is expected that the upcoming Pixel 7 phones will again use the Samsung 5G modem. 

Code Androidaccording to 13To9Google, it contains u 5 in its Developer Preview informace about Pixel phones that won't launch until sometime later this year. These smartphones are said to be equipped with a new generation Tensor chipset, codenamed GS201, and which uses a yet-to-be-released Exynos 5G modem with the model number g5300b. By comparison, the first generation Tensor chipset features Samsung's Exynos 5123 modem and is designated as the g5123b.

This new modem is mentioned in two of Google's upcoming high-end smartphones, codenamed Cheetah and Panther. These are allegedly the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro models. The unannounced Exynos modem could bring improvements to 5G connectivity and could also be used in the next generation of Samsung's high-end smartphones.

For mutual competition, it is extremely important that the ranks of manufacturers of own chips are growing. If the company has the finances for it, it is extremely advantageous for it to deal with everything under one roof. It does e.g. Apple with his iPhones that have his iOS even the A-series chip, even though it doesn't yet have its own 5G chip either. However, according to available information, he is working hard on it. Last year, Google also tried it with its Pixels, which it supplies Android and now custom chips. The same can be said for Samsung with its Exynos chipset, and at least the One UI superstructure.
