But, is it important if you're not playing games on your phone?

Google is spending a lot of money paying YouTubers to only talk about AI and photos! Someone tell Google that today's phones are also used for playing, editing, even rendering if you are in a hurry, streaming etc etc and more at that price they have put one is for the best of the phone. ..not just "Decent" performance

rosesarerosie, 12 Oct 2023At this point its simply embarrassing, its their 3rd genera... moreI don't think Google's ever touted the performance of their Tensor-powered phones. They're absolutely no slouch and are still flagship devices, but they want you to buy into the Pixel-exclusive features that are enabled by Tensor itself and not the sheer performance. If you want a phone with extensive software support, stock Android, flagship screen and camera experience the Pixel is really the only option out there at the moment. If you want sheer performance then anything besides a Pixel is more up your alley

I always think that performance isn't everything.
Camera quality an AI thingy on Pixel 8 proved thay Tensor G3 is still amazing.
That said, it should be better than this. Lost to A14 is disappointing.

This phone has 300 dollars left over the price! put it at 899 for the 256 version and 950 for the 512 version and then if we are talking about business... it is far below the competition and Google. or want to sell the idea of AI and blah blah blah that next year they will have more competition with that and with better prices, they just want to take advantage of the niche... The pixel 8 pro is not a bad phone, but if I am going to pay more 1000 I hope for something that is on par with the iPhone 15 pro Max, the s23 ultra ect ect

Spanky, 12 Oct 2023The moral here is to avoid Samsung fabbed SoCs at all costs... moreG3 is efficient but slow? It's efficient because Manufacturing process is good? It's slow because they use MC7 version of Gpu instead of MC11 like D9200?

Its unbelievable how much they charge for such an outdated chip!! I was watching reviews hoping to see how G3 performs.. but google paid them good to shut up and talk about editing photos.. because that's why we but a 1000 dollar phone!

Google has stated time and time again they are not in a speed race so stop comparing the chip to to the latest Qualcomm chip. Pixel is not a phone that you look at for high rates of gameplay. Their focus is AI no matter how many times Google has stated this when the tensor first game out you keep expecting something else. I personally haven't run into anything that I can't do on this phone and I am not a gamer. My question is if Google has clearly stated its intentions for Tensor and Pixel phones why are you expecting something different?
