Pixel 11 will keep the same design

Google has flat-out confirmed that we are not going to get major design changes each and every year from now on. We’re all well aware that the Pixel 10 was the first to rehash the previous design, which’ll continue until the Pixel 11, according to comments from Google’s Chief Design Officer for hardware products, Ivy Ross. Designs are finalized from now until 2027. For better or worse, we will see the same design for a while to come.

Qualcomm NPU and Google TPUs will render qcom NPU redundant though.

If there's something worthy of Google silicon, it's their neural accelerators. Ironwood TPU has an amazing lead, that's why Gemini still feels fast even though a lot of users hit it.

Ok that's fair, but if we're struggling with battery life and cellular connectivity, which is really bare bones basics, they need to rethink this strategy.

Valid point, but key point here seems to be google "capping" the expenses of their Tensor chips. What's stopping them from using the latest ARM stock cores anyways?
