Will Google's first smartphone chip be any good? We asked the experts News that Google's long-awaited custom-made chipset "Whitechapel" may show up in the Pixel 6 still has us excited. It's been so long since we've had something other than a Snapdragon, MediaTek, or Exynos in a smartphone, but there are are many questions over what we can and should expect from Google's first custom smartphone system-on-a-chip. Diving into last year's leaked specs and speaking to some analysts, we do have a few expectations before the Pixel 6 lands in our hands. Before we go any further, I should point out: everything we know right now is based on leaks, some of which date back to last year. Details may have changed since then, and while I trust the opinions of the experts I spoke to and the judgments they offered, it's possible Google's final hardware could surprise us. Don't take any of it for gospel until Google itself gives us details.
