Samsung is trying to figure out why it lost Pixel 10 chip production, but we all know why

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-08 13:42:53

TL;DR Samsung is “intensively analyzing” Google’s switch from Samsung to TSMC for Pixel chip production. The move apparently came as a “shock” to Samsung last month. TSMC is generally considered superior to Samsung when it comes to chip manufacturing. Google has used Samsung to manufacture its Tensor smartphone chips since 2021, but the Pixel 10 series is widely tipped to be made by rival manufacturer TSMC. Now, Samsung is reportedly taking a closer look at this switch as part of a wider inve

In the imperfect world we live in, however, there's almost always a weak link, and one popular delivery method for 2FA is no exception. Many implementations of two-factor authentication involve sending a one-time passcode to the end user via SMS. Once entered, the user is logged in and it's business as usual.
