Yes


Also if you make a phone with a cooler, you obviously give the chip more tolerance in Wattage it's allowed to use.

    Explain this.

Also the onboard storage has below 250MB per sec write speed, but good read speeds.


        Still, the write speed isn't even half of USF 2.1.

            As expected.

            Good cameras
            Great display brightness
            Mediocre battery lif(worse than pixel 7)
            Bad performance for the money

              What a bland color. It looks like an unpainted dummy model.

                  Shellyman Studios, 25 Oct 2023Geez! The Pixel 7 endurance rating is 96h, and the Pixel 8 ... moreI guess google made tensor just because of competition from apple, it's a beta soc and inferior to even snapdragon 7 series, at least they should have sticked with snapdragon 7 series if they can't go with 8 series to make more profit

                  Magic eraser in google photos works faster on my s22 running 8 gen1 and that phone is really snappy even with all Samsung junkware, typing from my slugging pixel 8 pro

                    I'm curious why this phone got such a relatively low battery endurance rating, especially when it's not even close to its last year's predecessor. I can only assume that it has to do with either the new 120Hz screen or the Android 14 OS, which is still in early builds with little software optimization.

                    What impressed me the most, though, is the new SoC. It shows a much-needed improvement from the previous G2. Both CPU and GPU are on par with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, and that's still a crazy fast SoC in 2023.

                      this thing cant even beat a $300 poco f5 performance

                      tensy-exyflop made by scamsung is the worst

                        I bought this pixel 8 but I'm returning it.
                        After 2 week I have experienced:
                        - continuous disconnecting in dual SIM
                        - low battery life compared to pixel 7 and a Mi 9 SE (4 year old)
                        - when using speakerphone during call people on the other side have trouble hearing me. This with "clear call" disabled, with it it's even worst
                        - using "clear call" result in terrible WA call audio on both sides

                        Edit:
                        - also low precision for fingerprint sensor compared to MI 9 SE

                              The zenfone 10 looks the better buy to me, but I have reservations above the screen brightness, and the updates arnt as good as the pixel.

                              While the battery life isn't the best, and sure it will be fine for my usage.

                                Great review, GSMArena.
                                As a pixel 6 owner I'll probably skip this, battery life and overall performance - meh.
                                3d generation and Google can't make it right. Yet want more.
                                Well certainly they'll still have some (*beta-testers) buyers this year 😅

                                  One of the most annoying things in any smartphone is a high battery discharge in stand-by mode. It's really silly that some phones have a high battery discharge rate irrespective of if you use the phone or not (it's lying idle on your desk or in pocket).

                                    Jumped to the s23 after Samsung swallowed their pride and made sd gen 2 global. I am very satisfied with my phone. Pixel 8 has more battery capacity than the base s23 but has lower endurance. Yikes. With performance plateauing in the past few years, my basis for buying phones is really with efficiency and heating.
