Snap 8 Gen 2 is said to be efficient and not very hot as previous SOCs. Maybe because of tsmc 3nm

    Currently I am using a Pixel 4a. Right now I am not sure if should get the Pixel 7 or wait to see what the Pixel 8 looks like. I am tempted to upgrade to the Pixel 7 just for 5G.

    FYI - It sounds like the Pixel 6a will be getting 3 years of OS updates and 5 years of security updates.

          Olympus Oms, 13 Jul 2022Yes, I use a real camera for photography. No I don't b... more🤦🤦🤦nexus is not better than pixel in terms of software and any idiot knows that nexus is discontinued. Any way a good portion of people buy phones for their camera and performance

            [deleted post]Yes, I use a real camera for photography. No I don't buy phones for the camera. Still doesn't change that pixels are beta phones sold for high price, while nexus phones were sold as final version for standard price. But enjoy thinking that nexus models are still being made, and enjoy paying highly for your beta pixels.

              [deleted post]Only a naive fool buy a phone for its camera. Very weak attempt.

                Tt, 12 Jul 2022Doesn't matter lol Pixels software is still better th... moreEnjoy your beta phones

                  Pixels software is still better than nexus.

Nexus was a final phone on release. Pixels are still only beta phones that you pay highly for. But enjoy the beta phone that is still unstable with fps unlock. Even after several beta updates.

                          There are always those who like to complain (and especially in my country most people will post to complain but those who don't have any problem they don't feel the need to post do often)
                          Anyway I am aware of those people everywhere but Now after the release of Pixel 6 (and before the release of Pixel 7) I have read some very offended comments , which if I didn't have a Pixel 6 would make me think 💬🤔 twice about it.
                          It is went from Android 12 bugs all the way to Hardware issues 😂 and I wonder, why those articles? Just because some will click on it? And ok sau I am lucky that my pixel 6 works great but what about you people? What about those who having an 8 months old pixel? I really want listen some Pixel Users experiences :)

                            After release also pixel is not worse than nexus. Nexus was made by different brands like HTC Motorola lg which resulted in poor optimisation. I am not saying nexus is bad

                              Tt, 11 Jul 2022No pixels don't have more bugs than a nexus. Also many... moreAgain, I'm talking about after release! Kids these days, doesn't know how to read or understand what's said. Only what they think.

                                  At that time and era t was a great phone now pixels ruin with horrible look and horrible price.
                                  Google wants unnecessary money for something which on paper looks way better than in real life experience.

                                    The best were : Nexus S, Motorola Moto X 2013 (Google phone !) and Google Pixel 5 ;-) ...

                                      Unpopular opinion. The Original Pixel (2016) had the best design of all. That dual tone design was so underrated.

                                        One would expect first party like Google to do better with software updates than just 3 years of major OS updates...
