The Poco is entirely built with plastic, while this has an aluminum frame. Last but not least, as a former MIUI user I would say that software experience is a lot better, and not only on the updates side. They are very different and they target very different users. I wouldn't pay much attention to the stars, they're just the reviewer's opinion

Software updates mean... moreNormally I would agree but there are a ton of phones out there that are older than 3 years that don't receive security updates anymore and are perfectly fine. I still think if there is a huge global security issue, then it would be issued to all phones backwards regardless of OS version. The press of having to junk a phone because Google couldn't issue an update would be bad press.

JaviG84, 08 Jun 2023is the battery life really that bad? I just ordered a PIXEL... moreDepends on your expectations and usage, bro.
Since the Tensor is a rebadged Exynos, expect underwhelming performance compared to the competition.
At this point I would rather Google use Snapdragons for the flagship Pixel and Pixel Pro phones, and the newer Mediatek Dimensity chips for the cheaper 'A' variant of the Pixel phones. But it looks like Google and Samsung have made deal.

Conversation was about other things and you came here about non related issues in this convo. Read previous messages. No one was talking about your battery or other sh** you have mentioned. One dude said that security is not essential and he is clearly wrong. Updates makes your phone more secure and fixes bugs. If hardware sucks yea there is nothing you can do but we were not talking about that.

Software updates mean... moreAt the same time poor battery life, cpu throttling and overheating and only 128gb storage forcing you to pay for cloud storage is huge disadvantage. Software is nothing if your phone dies before the end of the day. And if it can hardly last a day, you can be sure as hell there's no headroom and it won't last a day after 1-2 years due to battery degradation. So for a complete smartphone you need a decent, functional software and hardware. Pixel 7a is not that smartphone.

Not even the best software updates can make your lousy 90hz screen be 120hz,or even save the lousy tensor G2 from overheating to death. Hardware>Software

Security is the most important thing. Don't lock your car, your home doors and then tell me you don't need security otherwise you are delusional.

Because it's google, 75hr endurance rating, only 128gb option and poor cpu are all excused and 4.3 stars are given, just like it would be excused for iphones. Their excuse is "muh software update!".
Had it been Xiaomi, none of these would have been excused. I mean Poco F5 with much better cpu, battery and storage options is rated lower, why? Because of less software update.
This is clear bias towards certain brands under the name of something of little importance like software updates.

LOL, 01 Jun 2023As long as Google uses Tensor (rebranded Exynos) as the chi... moreBenchmark isn't everything, but that doesn't mean an average user cannot tell good CPU apart from mediocre one. Mediocre exynos, tensor etc heat up very easily and drain a lot of battery, even during something as simple as video recording and light gaming. You don't need to be one of those who runs benchmark whole day to realize how poor these Samsung manufactured exynos/tensor chips are.
75hr endurance rating in 2023 shows so clearly how bad it is, but still gsmarena shamefully giving it higher rating than Poco F5.

However surprise, surprise exynos is back with s24. For customers it's win win situation more competition is better. I hope samsung can make once again good cpu like in s7 days but probably no chance. Tensor is not that bad but ofcourse it can't compete with snapdragon gen 2.
