a Dimensity 9xxx or at least 8xxx would have been a better choice than Tensor. I still don't understand Google policy about their SoC : it seems Pixel team is ruled by immature developers !

50% of power after 2 minutes... lets that sink in...
Open camera, 2min later, screen automatically get dimmed due to heat, 5min, it get to 20% brightness, 8min, ask you to stop recording...
I have pixel 8 and I have the same issues... I had that on pixel 7 too! how funny it is that 3 generations... no wait, as older phones had that too, so 5 generations of pixel phones throttle the device straigh to 2014! :D

It's worth mentioning that Google has clearly lost its touch when it comes to image processing after Marc Levoy left their imaging department.
On Pixel 5 Google changed the way images are stacked (instead of combining multiple underexposed images, it started to use exposure bracketing) which created far more obvious misaligned pixels as shown by awful random colour blotches in the stacked RAW files.
Pixel 6 and 7 series went way too aggressive with noise reduction in the post-processing, which caused photos to look excessively waxy.
Even the latest generation of Pixel still overprocesses details in low light, the stacked RAW still looks extremely inconsistent when it comes to noise pattern, and the main camera now suffers from what seems to be a hardware QC issue - the lens doesn't seem to have a good enough sharpness to fully resolve 50MP, as evidenced by the samples provided by GSMArena, as the centre of the frame looks noticeably blurry when viewed at 100% magnification.
It's funny how RAW files coming out of a GCAM port on my Galaxy S23 Ultra and Redmi Note 13 Pro look less noisy and are easier to edit in post. Google just can't seem to get it right for some reason.

[deleted post]Yeah, except it doesn't.
Geekerwan's power curve chart really shows how far behind Tensor G3 (and presumably G4) is in terms of both CPU and GPU performance/efficiency. D9300+ CPU is more efficient than that of 8g3 under high load.

Honestly sounds like you don't know how to use your phone. You can't copy text in an image? Long press the bottom bar on your screen and you can select or circle literally anything on any screen including your gallery and copy text very easily.

Please show or explain how a flat camera bar makes the phone wobbly? That is the first time I have read that about this phone. I would consider my iPhone to be wobbly due to is massive camera on one side of the phone.

It's still very good phone, but I hope they will finally abandon this horrible Samsung chipset for TSMC one next year. Even if it's completely fine for normal usage, it's performance is embarrassing for the price, for example editing photos, videos, gaming.
The other thing they have to improve is portrait mode, but it can be also improved by software updates, so it's more strange they can't do it since Pixel 6 series.
More things which I hope we will see in Pixel 10 is 4K cinematic mode, at least 2.5K active mode, 4K 120 FPS, 5x zoom portrait and macro mode and improved transition between lens.
