Multiple reports say Google’s next in-house flagship chip, the Tensor G6, could be the first smartphone chipset built using TSMC’s 2nm process. The claims center on industry leaks indicating that the Pixel 11 series’ Tensor G6 would debut on TSMC’s 2nm manufacturing ahead of Apple’s next iPhone models. Android Authority, 9to5Google, and TechNode all describe the same core expectation: Tensor G6 is set to be among the earliest or first mass-produced 2nm smartphone chips, potentially arriving before Apple’s iPhone 18 lineup. TechNode adds timing details, reporting a launch for the Pixel 11 series in August 2026 and suggesting Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro would follow about a month later, consistent with the “beating Apple to the punch” framing used by the other outlets. While the articles present the information as leaked or reported, they align on the major points: Tensor G6 is associated with TSMC’s 2nm process, it is aimed at the Pixel 11 series, and it is positioned to precede Apple’s next generation of iPhones.
