I like stock Android, I like the pixels, I am an ex-user of the old Nexus, I had almost all of them at one time! But I'm not an idiot hahaha come on Google, for the pixel 10 get your act together and bring something really competitive

I have news for you, Tensor G4 is not based on this Samsung chip, but on an older one* in G without being so greedy and wanting to rip people off so much that they didn't even use the best chip from Samsung Foundation for their Tensor G hahaha

Anonymous, 23 Aug 2024I'm more interested how the smaller 9 Pro performs. i... moreMost of the people only care about either the XL/Pro Max models or the vanilla/base models. The Pro always gets ignored. I had briefly used iPhone 15 Pro, and I was blown away by how lightweight and handy it was considering it is a top tier flagship iPhone.

Also Exynos has redeemed itself in the S24 line aswell as the new Galaxy Watches. I bet your phone is worse than either an iPhone or this, too, yet you shittalk.

While I realize internet speed has many variables, it will be good to know if there is a phone out there that could make the most out of difficult conditions. I don't care much about the CPU since I'm not a power user, but I do care about the modem and receiver's ability.

Here's a comparison how many pixels per angle you get when you use dng files at 10x-30x in the default 12 megapixel mode in good light conditions:
100% Pixel 7 Pro
94.7% Pixel 8 Pro
47.1% Pixel 9 Pro XL
43.8% Pixel 6 Pro
21.5% Pixel 4
11.5% Pixel 5

ShOuKa, 22 Aug 2024One of the few humble men that still cares for smaller scre... moreSince you're already using a Moto, you'd be pleased to know that all but one parameters on your dream phone list will be fulfilled by the upcoming Edge 50 Neo. Unfortunately, that one parameter is quite the important one — SoC.
I'm in the same boat as you and it frustrates me to know that there's not a single 6.1-6.4" flat screen phone on the market that has a decent SoC in it (7+gen3 would be perfect). Once the 50 Neo launches, I'd be looking for reviews to decide between it and the Xiaomi 14 Civi (with a slightly bigger screen).

Pixels will never have good battery life due to Google's constant data collection in the background. Even if they switch to tsmc, you'll still get overheating and poor standby.

I can absolutely believe that this really is slower than the 8 Pro. And it would certainly be destroyed by the S24 Ultra, which happens to have most if not all of the same machine learning tricks that are the notional Pixel USP at this point. The only thing this has over that is stock Android, and you'd really have to hate One UI to still want this over an S24 Ultra.

You really are paying for overpriced 2 year old hardware at this point.

If a Chinese reviewer was reviewing a pixel they would definitely point this out but they wouldn't point out Huawei not having gms as a weakness because this doesn't matter in China and is not a weakness in China. This website is not targeting a Chinese audience. The Chinese reviewers produce far more detailed comprehensive reviews in Chinese than are available here so the Chinese audience on this website would be small outside the Chinese expat community. Bit of a dumb point you are trying to make really

"..sideloading them got us results which were way to low (lower than Pixel 8 Pro, for instance) to be considered as representative."
Wouldn't be surprised if they are !!
