Samsung and Google reportedly co-developing Whitechapel chip for Pixel 6
Last year, Google reportedly approached various chip makers including Broadcom, and Nvidia to reduce its dependency on chipsets from Qualcomm and Intel. This hinted that Google might be looking for chipset makers who could design processors exclusively for Pixel phones.
Now, it looks like this news is turning out to be true as a new report from 9to5Google suggests that the Pixel 6 will come with Google’s GS101 processor (codenamed ‘Whitechapel’), which is rumored to be made using Samsung’s 5nm process tech.
However, Google will remove major similarities including ISP and NPU components so that it will not resemble the Korean tech giant Exynos processor.
Key details of the processor
A report from XDA developers revealed that this new processor will be equipped with a tri-cluster CPU and a TPU (Tensor Processing Unit). Moreover, an integrated security chip codenamed ‘Dauntless’ (like the Titan M) may also be fabricated on the processor.
For the other key details, some previous reports mentioned that it will feature a single core of Cortex A78 CPU, two Cortex A76 CPU cores, and four Cortex A55 CPU cores including a Mali GPU. So from this, it is quite clear that this new Google processor is actually based on Samsung’s processor development techniques.
When we may see this collaboration?
Google’s processor in collaboration with Samsung, may debut with the upcoming Pixel 6 (codenamed ‘Slider’) which speculated to launch alongside two more devices codenamed ‘Raven’ and ‘Oriole’. However, its standard model and the XL variant might be coming in Q3 2021.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may not feature a stacked battery and 65W charging. Last April, it was reported that the company is developing advanced battery tech inspired by EVs for its mobile portfolio. However, the plan to bring it to Galaxy reportedly pushed to Galaxy S26 Ultra.
According to a rumor, Samsung canceled bringing stacked battery tech and 65W charging to Galaxy S25 Ultra. Now, it is planned for Galaxy S26 Ultra, which will arrive in 2026. The next Ultra flagship would continue 5000mAh conventional battery and 45W charging support.
Stacked battery tech would mean offering a higher energy density with a different arrangement of the cells. It will unlock even longer battery life for the Galaxy flagships. Meanwhile, Samsung fans won’t see advanced batteries in the flagship arriving next year.
The tipster mentioned that Samsung is skipping the new battery and faster charging in the S25 Ultra to reduce the cost. We’ve seen Chinese manufacturers bringing over 5000mAh battery to their recent flagships, however, Samsung still offers longer battery life.
As Snapdragon going more expensive this year, the South Korean tech giant considering expanding its Exynos to more Galaxies. The Galaxy S25 Ultra may use Snapdragon internationally could also be the reason behind the delay in stacked battery tech.
It seems that it was in the plan, but Samsung changed its mind, wanting to reduce costs and put the stacked battery and 65w charging speed in the S26U.
