Internet major Google will partner with Foxconn to produce its ultra-premium Pixel smartphones for the first time in Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister MK Stalin said on Thursday.

According to sources, Google’s partnership with Foxconn is in addition to its plan to make Pixel smartphones at Dixon facility. “As a result of the negotiations, Google will partner with Foxconn in Tamil Nadu to produce the Pixel cell phones and has offered to set up a factory,” Stalin said in a statement.
