Pissel devices are like bad hardware plus best software experience making it mediocre at best. Idk when they'll ship good quality tensor soc. And before someone come and tell me hey i own a pissel and it's fine for me. Guess what it's not fine for me.
Here are the cons
Bad cellular reception : yes really bad on 5g. Overheats like crazy. When it overheats ui lags like hell.
At least the x key works on my phone.
Pix off.
What s key?
The good news is, with Pixel 8 they're supposed to start moving away from Exynos design elements. Bad news is, it's probably going to take a few years. Hopefully they replace the cellular radio sooner than later.
What i heard on pixel 9 they will make the soc in tsmc so ig pissel 8 would be like their exynos brothers.
Seems like every rumor pushes it back.
Yeah, I'm really disappointed with my Pixel 7a. It gets terrible battery life. I'm charging twice/day on a new phone with light use. Sometimes thrice/day when I'm using my phone more heavily.
With my 3a, I stopped charging at 85% to keep my battery healthy for longer and got a full day or if it for years. With this phone, I'm charging to 100% and unplugging, and waking up to a phone at < 75% charge.
I'm probably going to sell this phone and get something else. I'm getting battery anxiety.
@blindsight @Apeeksiht my 6a's battery life w/ GrapheneOS is great. Not the best, but lasts a day of moderate use just fine. Days of heavy use I'll have to charge it in the late afternoon, and days of light use it's almost like I haven't unplugged it.
