What's a Tensor chip?

The Pixel 11 uses Google's own Tensor G6 chip. Unlike many phone makers who buy chips from companies like Qualcomm, Google designs its Tensor chips specifically for its Pixel phones. This allows them to optimise the hardware and software for better performance, especially for AI features and camera processing, making the phone's unique capabilities shine.
