Compare Tensor G2 to Snapdragon (self.askandroid)
submitted 1 year ago by EddieTee77 to c/askandroid

Would anyone be able to help me out? My Pixel 7 Pro broke. Unfortunately, I live in the USA and bought this on a ~~contract~~ lease for 3 years. I'm wanting something similar to it, and the used phone market has plenty of options.

Would anyone be able to compare the speeds of older phones to the G2? I know the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is much faster and more efficient, but how comparable is the 8 Gen 1 to the G2?

If I bought an S22, would I be better off? Would it be the same performance and battery heat issues if I bought an S21?

I'm not sure how the G2 stacks up against the previous flagship Snapdragon chips, and I'm wanting to get a phone that's at least similar or better (budget permitting lol).

Any suggestions?

Your generaly not going to better off with a 8g1.try to get a 8g2 phone like the OnePlus 11

[–] EddieTee77 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That would be worth the money over a 8g1? I know there were overheating concerns and less efficiency, but I didn't realize it was that drastic of a difference

[–] Welp_im_damned 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

YES. pls spend the extra money if you can on a 8g2 phone. The 8g1 has multiple issues on every model from poor battery like (regular s22) to over heating cameras (Sony Xperia 1 mk 4). The 8g2 fixes these issues on the successor models like s22 having great battery life and the Xperia 1 mk 5 having no overheating camera issues.

Thank you! Would I notice improvements going from a Pixel 7 Pro to a base S23?

[–] Welp_im_damned 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In battery life yeah. Idk in other parts of the phone tho. Because at that point it's up to preference. Like software and camera.

[–] EddieTee77 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which is the problem with Samsung and Google. I love the camera on the Pixel but the extra features of the Galaxy S devices. I can't have both it seems

[–] Welp_im_damned 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean you can root your phone to add most stuff from Samsung phones onto your pixel.

[–] EddieTee77 2 points 1 year ago

That's a good point. I haven't rooted in a while but it's a good thing to keep in mind
