Qualcomm is unhappy about Google using the Tensor chip for the Pixel 6
Qualcomm is apparently not happy with Google using its own mobile chipset for the Pixel 6
The chip maker tweeted, "We've decided to make our own smartphone SoC instead of using Snapdragon", followed by a series of red flag emoji. If you're wondering what the red flag meme is about, a "red flag" on social media means something (e.g. a statement) is controversial and should be avoided.
Even though Qualcomm did not name any brand in the tweet, it is obviously referring to Google and its proprietary System-on-Chip (SoC). With reports suggesting the Google Tensor chip to be as powerful as the Snapdragon 870, Qualcomm is riding on the red flag meme to take a pot shot at Google. After all, Qualcomm has been supplying its Snapdragon mobile platform for every Pixel phone up until the Pixel 6.
