It a feature that more and more companies are trying to run away from. Like the Charger in the box issue.

              One persistant problem with Google flagships is that they launch in October and become fully available in November, three months before the competition introduces the next generation of SOCs.

              The only benefit I can imagine from a delayed implementation of the latest chips is that it gives time to more fully exploiting their capability.

              Google tried, starting in 2020, to underplay the importance of chips by releasing phones with mid-range processors, and now seems to blur the issue by using a proprietary SOC. It’s most recent real flagship contender dates back to 2019 (Pixel 4/4XL), shifting back to high end devices may well he be an attempt to mimc Apple’s policy of providing an arguably over-powerful chip set even in its least expensive phones.

                I'm not one for large phones and my pixel 3 remains awesome, size, longevity, dual camera front, awesome speakers. But the 6 main chip combined with the neural core etc and a brand new 50mp sensor with stellar algorithms, android 12 sounds friggin awesome package.

                Hope for clear stereo speakers

                      I hope the whitechapel chip means that Google will be able to provide security updates for longer, at least 5 years, like Apple does.

                      That said, I'm not really into the giant camera hump. I think the cameras on the Pixel phones have all been very good. I like having a flat back. I don't need whatever extra camera ability is possible, that requires a hump that adds several millimeters of thickness to the phone.

                                Even some budget models from Xiaomi or Realme have started ditching the micro sd card.
                                Besides, with internal storages becoming faster and faster, is not that bad. Also, phones nowadays have easily 128 or 256 Gb options (and not too expensive either).
                                Why do people want more storage than that? To make videos in 4k or 8k on their 300EUR phones? Lol.

                                  If you don't want to wait until Oct then Pixel 4a5g often on sale down from £499 to £399 is a bargain. Slap on official case and black slab looks pretty and projected. Stereo speakers, great battery, headphone socket, and an amazing camera (with wide angle). Static grey case looks brill for me 😁
