      no killing.. 800chaging 80% there is, from 700-800charging all other slow chargings also if 80% take that very good.

        Hope Pixel8 is a compact one. Really missing good compact phone in 2023

            It's always fun to see people cry about everything, because there's always something wrong.
            The pixel line up still makes the best pictures unless you want oversatured fake pictures.
            The value for money with a pixel (not the pro version) phone is unbeaten.
            Only thing I sometimes wish is that the charging speed would be a bit faster, but besides that for a regular person a pixel phone is more than enough.
            People who cry about pixels, cpu, storage, design etc are just hypocrites. All phones look a like nowadays unless you go for a fold or flip phone. And what do you need all that "power" or storage for? #brokieswillalwayscryaboutsomething

              Apple is more disappointing with their uber expensive phones imo.

                Google is becoming so pathetic like Apple. Only offering meager changes and barely any improvements.

                Google's Pixels always left a semi-sour taste in my mouth, starting with the huge notch on the P3 and whatnot, but back then their phones had noticeable changes each iteration, and sometimes even brought welcoming innovative features (Squeeze/Motion Sense on P4). Now, it's so pathetically stagnant and behind.

                  Dude wdym?? Fast charging always slowened their charging when it reached 50%, 60%, or 80% (depends on the vendor). Tell me that you're never using this fast charging technology without telling me that you're never using this fast charging technology. 💀

Those "normal people" as you call them have been conditioned by their inferior brands to charging their phones at bedtime because they can't charge their phones except at bedtime because their phones only charge so slowly. Actual normal people charge their normal phones no matter when. Besides, actual normal people often have things other than their phones to charge at bedtime.

                      I strike you back:

                      Photography = heat = kill battery
                      Gaming = heat = kill battery
                      5G = heat = kill battery

                              Anonymous, 31 Aug 2023Did you selectively “forget” the software/updates and cameras?Most people have no idea what an "Exynos" is, and think "Snapdragon" is just a type of flower. For those of us in the know who like to tinker, Pixel is pretty much the last option for US model phones that allow bootloader unlocking. So for an enthusiast, your options are limited to Pixel, or maybe Motorola is OnePlus is both your carrier allows it, and you're willing to take the risks that come with a Chinese phone.

                                They should also consider adding more years to security updates.

                                  First
                                  https://www.qualcomm.com/company/events/snapdragon-summit

                                  So in date order Apple Bionic 17 when Apple annnouces
                                  09/15/2023.
                                  Then Google in October Google Tensor T3 expected Nine Cores, not I me, you or THEM, ESPECIALLY THEM! either knows (A) the Architecture or (B) Clock Speed of any of the upcoming launches.

                                  T3 will be a massive improvement on T2.

                                  In order even to make a ballpark guess you need BOTH A+B
                                  Will it better than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (I just told you I don't know) however soon afterwards we will get T3 synthetic benchmarks adding to Apple recent.

                                  Qualcomm 8 Gen 3. again A + B
                                  Then Mediatek, at date no launch date has been announced for Dimensity 9300 (Again A +B)
                                  Finally Samsung Exynos 2400 A + B

                                  ESPECIALLY Qualcomm, Mediatek and Samsung

                                  There has been NO official announcement on anything regarding their SoC. There has been many reports even here of purported verification of what these are, (to coin
                                  a phrase would be SB reversed intentionally preferably literally)

                                  IMO these "guess" are quite frankly laughable, contradictory just awful.

                                  These "guesses" are all interconnected posted on Twitter by tipster who follow each, one post perpetuates onto a critical mass picked up and reported, ergo story then appears on Gsmarena.

                                  E.g my last post on Exynos 2400 was replied to with information sourced from a TIPSTER and yes you've guess it no A or B. Gigo!

                                  Indeed upto and until each official launches, every single story you will read will lead back to some puerile comment made by a tipster on Twitter (these know it NOTS are being paid promoted post i.e shared And revenue)

                                  There is NO information on Apple, Google, Dimensity, Samsung, SoC on either Architecture or Clock speed.

                                  My opinion will be replied to without link to any if the above sites. The source TIPSTER.

                                  When the information becomes official I can guarantee it won't remotely resemble EVERYTHING they have ever posted.

                                  It will be an uneducated educated guess (sic)

                                    Same old design, just extend the visor and call it a day. Probably still has glossy back fingerprint magnet.
