In your hands on GSMArena mentioned a serious lag in the pro normal usage, but that hasn't been addressed here. There are currently some issues with Android 14 and scrolling lag, specially affecting this phone.

On my Pixel 7 Pro, the exif data shows which camera has been chosen because the Pixel 7 Pro and 8 Pro actually have five / six rear cameras in the 12 megapixel mode (Quad Bayer sensors give you two cameras in one camera). In low light, my 7 Pro doesn't use the 10x and 2x cameras (unless there are maybe a lot of light sources), but uses 5x and 1x + machine learning digital zoom (even when you use Night Sight), but this often leads to bad results and is very frustrating. Surprisingly, it seems that the 8 Pro now uses the 2x camera in low light conditions (though the sample images have a lot of light sources, too).

Hemedans, 27 Oct 2023Where did I ignore it? My comment you quote end of it I sai... moreIt is exactly what I was saying.
GSMArena don't ignore active usage time, mind you, check the review again.
But it's because of poor standby 8 got this score.
Well, and if you think that battery drain can be fixed by software update - it depends, on G1 it's the modem, only time will tell what's the issue with G3 (I assume the same, but who knows - some reports are saying the cellular reception is "breddy good").

It falls significantly short when compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which boasts a remarkable 24 hours of battery life for web browsing. In contrast, the Pixel 8 Pro offers only 16 hours, which is considered subpar and not satisfactory

Anonymous, 27 Oct 2023I don't know what the Imx 766 is, but the Gn5 is just ... moreThe imx766 was one of the most used if not most used sensor of 2022 so weird you know the gn5 and NOT the imx 766 (literally in the zenfone 10 you mentioned).
Other phones/lines it features on are:- oppo find x5 series, asus RoG 7 series and 6 series, the realme gt2 series, the 1st gen nothing phone, redmi note 12 series, oneplus 10 series (including the R and T versions), the oneplus nord 2 series (including T variants), oneplus ace series, xiaomi 12 (and X variants), the honor magic 3 and 4 series, huawei mate 50 series, the samsung galaxy A54 (best selling samsung devices on the market?). Thats about half the devices using that sensor as atleast the main sensor.

Shamrock Sean, 27 Oct 2023Nothing to do with weather it's powerful or not it... moreStacking and processing at 50mp is 4 times more resource intensive than at 12.5mp. So, it has everything to do with whether it is powerful or not. Applying the same algorithm on 50mp as they did on 12.5mp may not be possible now.

My comment you quote end of it I said they need to work on their standby, ofcourse it's bad, but ignoring good on screen score as battery life as whole is not good also it's not OK. Standby can be fixed with software update but those on screen won't get significant fix.
