Nikoktopas., 06 Apr 2025Get a Samsung s25 ultra or plus Less of the Ultra but maybe more of the Plus models. I only wish that they were less wider, less heavier and more faster charging.

Sapphire, 07 Apr 2025Google's Tensor SoC is just a rebranded Samsung Exynos. No it's not. It's exynos with pixel AI chip inside. It's not rebranded, it's literaly exynos + pixel AI

If that thing already reaches like 50 C, then its almost the same as tensor.
I dunno how frequently the SD gets hot though let's say it has a lot of potential to.

The thing is Google "stock Android" is so much smoother and less bogged down than "stock Samsung(oneUI)" I think Samsung has added to many options and heavy handed overlay which can slow down a vastly superior Qualcomm processor. I have used both versions and found the Google version "lighter". Imagine a phone with Google stock Android running on a Qualcomm elite processor.
Won't even talk about iOS much, but it's nice to see they finally added Android features that were available 10 years ago ;)

Dear Pixel Users, I am planning to purchase either this one or 8a, depending the review of 9a states that this is a worthy Upgrade over 8a (so I am willing to spend more Money).
My question (since that is never mentioned in reviews): how is reception and how is call quality
in Terms of clearness and loudness?
Thank you very much in advance for replys!!

Pixels do not run stock Android, instead it runs gogle's modified version of Android.
AOSP (Android Open Source Project) is THE Stock Android.
The misconception is assumption that because Gogle makes Android, the Gogle phone must run stock android.
You can call it Goggle's Stock Android just as OneUI being Sammy's Stock Android.

Gino76ph, 06 Apr 2025So, you prefer the app search on the top of the screen?Yeah. At the bottom, I sometimes touch it by accident. Tried it on an A56, at the mall. Maybe, in time, you could get used to it. But UI felt pretty smooth. Exynos 1580 is a decent performer, after all.
