    I’ve been running a galaxy S9 for years and have never run into a bottleneck with it.

    Why do y’all keep needing more and more power packed into your phones? It doesn’t make any sense to me.

      I think its more about the power efficiency. Samsung’s exynos line as well as their few latest samsung foundry nodes are not known for being very power efficient, so I think people were holding for the Pixel 9 with a custom TSMC manufactured chip in hopes of it consuming less power and outputting less heat

    The only thing i expect for Google Pixels is for them to have a clean Android install, i couldn’t care less if it’s hardware was equivalent to my low end Motorola.

      You should though. I have a Pixel 7 Pro. I’ve seen all the reviews/tests showing how bad of a chip it is. But in day to day use it’s fast snappy and pretty good.

      it does however warm the device a lot and warmth = battery loss.

      Tensor G1 and G2 would probably be absolutely fine if fabbed on TSMC.
