Sounds like this may be indicative of the Tensor G3 not being significantly more efficient which is kind of disappointing
Are you currently on a Pixel? I haven't been able to quit Samsung over the last number of years.
and smaller screens? 145 x 65 mm would be perfect! and anything larger than 150 x 70 is too big.
Nope the 8 is basically 150x70. Basically a taller S23. Zenfone wins out for me, even though I prefer smaller.
Assuming Asus deliver on the improved software support, I'm strongly considering jumping to the ZF10
4 years security updates is good enough for me.
As a current pixel phone user, I'll never buy a Pixel device or any Google hardware again. Cost to performance ratio is not good in this phone. The chip heats if i try to watch a 140p YouTube video on the phone. The modem is really bad for voice and data. Shows low network signal always. Same sim if i put in another device with a snapdragon processor, that device shows almost full signal. Opened a complaint on Google support and they basically told me to talk to the cell operator. Like a cell operator will change settings for one customer. ಠ_ಠ Zero support from Google and they won't even acknowledge that their modems are bad.
As long as Google uses this Tensor chip I won't go back to it. This is my first bad experience with a phone manufacturer. So, yup, never will buy any Google hardware again.
As a Pixel 6 Pro user, I'll probably be picking up an 8 Pro on the account of its flat screen. If Tensor G3 is made using a smaller manufacturing process, that'll be a bonus. Some 50-100mAh up or down on a 5Ah battery is meaningless and more about the shape of the device than anything else.
It's interesting how quickly flat screens turning into a selling point over curved. It's definitely a conflict between usability and design aesthetic.
Curved screens were a nice marketing wank to sell a few newer models but there are few advantages to them and some significant disadvantages. I'm sure most people still buy the marketing though since I have to point out the issues for them to people to notice them. 😁
