Anonymous, 24 Aug 20247g3 vs Tensynos 4 Speed: 7g3 Battery: 7g3 Modem ... moreYou've literally never used #TeamPixel and can't even afford it. Imagine paying $500 for the Scamdragon 7 Gen 3 when it falls far behind the more modest Apple Bionic chipset. The affordable iPhone SE4 will blow away all the competition in any price range with Scamdragon.

Enjoy your feature-free Scamdragon with zero years of updates and mediocre cameras. Longevity is not an issue for #TeamPixel and customers are satisfied with the performance.

          I'm starting to believe that those benchmark numbers are lower than what the G3 accomplished...

              I was talking about these phones being bad FOR THE PRICE ofc. If the Pixel 9 were sold at 500-650 dollars it'd be a banger.

                Next!

                  Xiaomi 14 better choice

                    I personally think this vanilla Pixel 9 is the phone to buy in 2024/25. It also cost less than the Pro and XL. The most important thing is its not slippery as the Pro and XL according to this review. The specs are not much different to Pro and XL. It also has a better battery life. And I am already in awe of the Obsidian color of the vanilla Pixel 9. The Obsidian on Pro and XL sucks, and looks dull due to the black Googe logo and camera bar.

                      Just get back here because I m so annoyed even without benchmark they could have put some description about performance out of the all the reviews this site has done this is the worst biased one

                        alski10, 23 Aug 2024I've just read an article from Androidauthority where ... moreBecause it's a slightly overclocked version of the G3.
                        There's nothing new or good about the processor.

                          Silly excuse of not doing benchmarking when its available on other sites and youtubes…surely google paid for review…network connectivity is still worse in my region as reviewed locally here in India

                                curious how these hardwares handle the last year of android update, android 21? they might disable everything and allow few apps to run and make phone call ... LOL

                                    "Plus it's a foldable and foldables are cool."
                                    Are they though? They still have way too many compromises.

                                      "Unfortunately, we are not able to provide you with benchmark scores at this time as the benchmark apps we use were reported as "incompatible" on the Play Store and sideloading them got us results which were way to low (lower than Pixel 8 Pro, for instance) to be considered as representative. Let's hope the limitations are lifted later down the line and we are able to offer you proper benchmark scores."

                                      Been following GSMA for the last 12 years. You guys are getting worse than APPLE.

                                        Same camera as last year.
                                        No LTPO.
                                        No vapor chamber cooling.
                                        Almost all of the AI features are gimmicks and basically useless, a big number of them are not even available to most users in most markets. Not worth paying for something you can't use.
                                        Still 128GB as base version...
                                        Only new thing is that they supposedly improved network connectivity and battery life barely from last year.
                                        900 Euro base price is absolutely not worth it.
                                        Pixel 8 launched at 800 Euro last year, and within a month (by December) was down to 700. By mid January it was 650 Euro.
                                        Save your money and skip the vanilla 9 (or wait for discounts if you reeeaaally want one).
