Google Pixel 7 Pro BoM Analysis

The Tensor G2 processor is Google’s second-generation custom chipset, which is jointly developed with Samsung LSI and costs $10 more than its predecessor. With a re-designed GPU and new generation Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) blocks, Samsung Foundry produced the Tensor G2 through its 5nm process node.

The 6.7-inch OLED display used in the Pixel 7 Pro is supplied by Samsung Display. Due to the high specs (1440 x 3120p resolution, 1500 nit, LTPO adaptive refresh rate) of the display panel, it becomes the most expensive component of Pixel 7 Pro and takes up a significant portion of bills of material.

After the processor and display, the camera comes as the most important hardware part of the smartphone. In the Pixel 7 Pro, the camera system has a significant share of Samsung ISOCELL including the GN1 as the primary sensor alongside the periscope and selfie snapper from Samsung LSI.

Cellular communication system of the Pixel 7 Pro also features Samsung components including 5G baseband, transceivers and power trackers for sub-6GHz bands, as well as mmWave (jointly with Murata). Besides, Samsung has also supplied multiple PMIC components that are crucial for power and audio design.
