Rumors are that Google is experimenting with Intel on the upcoming Pixel 2 phone.

I read somewhere Intel was about to quit on their mobile platforms.

I think Intel ended only their 4G efforts.
The SoFIA 3G chips are now repurposed to IoT.
With 5G they supposedly want to be back.

Rumors are that Google is experimenting with Intel on the upcoming Pixel 2 phone.

And that's why they are called "rumors". I find it very hard to believe that Google will use Intel in the Pixel 2 given the fact that Intel has quit their smartphone ventures: http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/3/115...martphone-quit

Does Intel use Mesa on their Android phones and tablets? Or did they decide to make the third OpenGL implementation (the first one is for Windows)?
