Sounds like this may be indicative of the Tensor G3 not being significantly more efficient which is kind of disappointing
Are you currently on a Pixel? I haven’t been able to quit Samsung over the last number of years.
Not sure, Apple with the iPhone 15 increase their battery capacities while having an efficient CPU, so maybe Google doesn’t want to be relegated. It’s difficult to offer a 1-day battery life when your main opponent is leaning towards 2 days.
As a current pixel phone user, I’ll never buy a Pixel device or any Google hardware again. Cost to performance ratio is not good in this phone. The chip heats if i try to watch a 140p YouTube video on the phone. The modem is really bad for voice and data. Shows low network signal always. Same sim if i put in another device with a snapdragon processor, that device shows almost full signal. Opened a complaint on Google support and they basically told me to talk to the cell operator. Like a cell operator will change settings for one customer. ಠ_ಠ Zero support from Google and they won’t even acknowledge that their modems are bad. As long as Google uses this Tensor chip I won’t go back to it. This is my first bad experience with a phone manufacturer. So, yup, never will buy any Google hardware again.
and smaller screens? 145 x 65 mm would be perfect! and anything larger than 150 x 70 is too big.
Nope the 8 is basically 150x70. Basically a taller S23. Zenfone wins out for me, even though I prefer smaller.
Assuming Asus deliver on the improved software support, I’m strongly considering jumping to the ZF10
4 years security updates is good enough for me.
As a Pixel 6 Pro user, I’ll probably be picking up an 8 Pro on the account of its flat screen. If Tensor G3 is made using a smaller manufacturing process, that’ll be a bonus. Some 50-100mAh up or down on a 5Ah battery is meaningless and more about the shape of the device than anything else.
It’s interesting how quickly flat screens turning into a selling point over curved. It’s definitely a conflict between usability and design aesthetic.
Curved screens were a nice marketing wank to sell a few newer models but there are few advantages to them and some significant disadvantages. I’m sure most people still buy the marketing though since I have to point out the issues for them to people to notice them. 😁
Still rocking my Pixel 4a 5G and refuse to upgrade until I absolutely have to.
The camera is more than sufficient, I still get compliments on my photos. The interface is perfectly fine. The battery lasts all day and you’ll pry my aux port from my cold, dead hands!
I’m tired of supporting these yearly releases when there’s been hardly any meaningful change in generations.
I’m still using my Pixel 4XL. Going strong. I don’t feel the need to move on either.
And YES I do miss having an aux port lol.
