Google launched the Pixel 7 series in October 2022. The latest lineup includes the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones. Both smartphones use several components which are manufactured by Samsung. Google has co-developed the Tensor G2 chipset (that powers both Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro) with the South Korean tech giant. Moreover, Samsung also supplies the display panel, camera sensors and connectivity components for the Pixel 7 smartphone lineup. Now, a report by Counterpoint Research has revealed Google’s dependency on Samsung for the components that are used in the Pixel 7 Pro. The report claims that Samsung accounts for more than half of the Google Pixel 7 Pro’s bill of materials (BoM) cost.
