Google is working with Samsung to develop a chipset that could power Pixel phones as soon as next year. The new processor is designed by Google and will be manufactured on Samsung’s 5nm process.

If accurate, Google’s move would replicate iPhone maker Apple’s example, which designed its own A-Series chips for a number of years. Another major rival in the smartphone space, Huawei, also develops its own chipsets through semiconductor subsidiary HiSilicon.

Whatever Google does, its success in the smartphone business will be limited. People just don't buy Google-branded phones at that premium price.

But the pixel 4 costs less than Samsung galaxy series and offers better camera and even better battery life when compared to exynos models. It's just sad to see people hate pixel phones blindly. I agree it is costly in india like iPhone. Taxes play a major role. But it is competitively priced in US/UK/AUS.

Whitechapel is an effort on Google’s part to create their own systems on a chip (SoCs) to be used in Pixel phones and Chromebooks alike, similar in to how Apple uses their own chips in the iPhone and Mac. Google was said to be co-developing Whitechapel with Samsung, whose Exynos chips rival Snapdragon processors in the Android space.
