PureOS, 20 Sep 2024Terrible soc. Maybe worst thermal throttling ever classifie... moreBroken ratings have been a thing here for some time now. At some point I had doubts but the Z Fold 6 getting a superior rating than the Honor Magic V3..there's definitely some money involved.
And yeah according to the rating system for giving 4.4 to this device, SOC performance matter as much as a notification LED.
Plus remember that Google disabled benchmark apps on 9 Pro XL during pre-orders. They DO KNOW it's inherently wrong to sell a device at this price with a midranger CPU. They just hope people won't find out.

I'd go for a Galaxy A25 and get drunk with the rest of the money! :))

You couldn't pay me to use your smartphone with this SoC, Google. Why even bother with this Tensor crap if it is worse than even Scamsung's Exynos. To overtake Exynos in performance deterioration department is an accomplishment in itself. Well done, Google. Now, get out of the market, let LG take your place. You won't be missed.

How does having an LTPO panel not improve the on screen battery life compared to Pixel 9 without LTPO???

Terrible soc. Maybe worst thermal throttling ever classified. Plus, 4.4 star rating with this Tensor? No way, it's like giving golden shoe to football player with broken leg!

So it actually has worse performance than previous pixels AND worse thermal throttling?
Non wonder they were trying to hide and block the benchmark scores.

Damn, these RAM numbers are getting out of hand lol
There are actual computers with less RAM and work good. Do you need 50 open apps or what? lol
No phone needs that much, those are just bragging rights and so they can justify higher price. I'm convinced it doesn't work any faster than last years 12 GB version.

It has a better battery life than the Pro XL? Haha.
People complaining about the performance must be the .5% because Google will have optimised Android for this device. I had the Pixel 6 Pro and it ran fine for the two years i had it. No issues with performace at all.

Docktor, 20 Sep 2024You have never had a Pixel, dont you?Actually mate yeah I had a pixel 6 pro, absolutely hated it terrible battery life and very average screen. Cameras were good but it was very boring to use, almost no customisation and couldn't get rid of that bloody search bar on the home screen etc. Have a Oppo now, enjoy it was more than any other phone I've used

if this were an 800 or even a 900 dollar phone for the 256 gb model it'd have been acceptable. For 700 dollars it'd have been a good phone. But at 1000 dollars for the 128 gb model this is a bad, bad phone. It's like buying a Toyota Corolla for the price of a BMW 5 series.

How can they seriously expect to support these pixel 8 & 9's for 7 years of OS updates. It's crazy, the chipsets are hot messes that throttle already, which will degrade the batteries like crazy with heat, and they aren't even using the latest UFS 4.0 storage? It's gonna feel like using a samsung A06 if they push android 19 to these things, and that's a big if imo. Google have been known to go back on their word!
