Google is moving significant portions of Pixel smartphone development and manufacturing out of China, according to multiple reports. The shift is part of a broader effort to diversify its supply chain and reduce dependence on a single manufacturing hub. Vietnam is expected to take on a larger role starting this year, including work on higher-end Pixel models, as geopolitical and operational risks continue to reshape global electronics production.
