    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.

    Still rocking my Pixel 4a 5G and refuse to upgrade until I absolutely have to.

    The camera is more than sufficient, I still get compliments on my photos. The interface is perfectly fine. The battery lasts all day and you’ll pry my aux port from my cold, dead hands!

    I’m tired of supporting these yearly releases when there’s been hardly any meaningful change in generations.

      I’m still using my Pixel 4XL. Going strong. I don’t feel the need to move on either.

      And YES I do miss having an aux port lol.

    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. 😁
