Next up, one of the most important updates for this new release from Google would be its dedicated chipset, with Pixel 9 to get the Tensor G4 SoC. However, early leaks of the Tensor G4 regarded that **its benchmark test only delivered slight improvements compared to the old Tensor G3 from the Pixel **8 series, but was said to feature a new ARMv9-A core.
Where’s the punch?

The odd bit here is that Pixel phones were not necessarily considered flagship phones. And accordingly we’re priced not as flagship phones but if rumors are correct they are trying to get a flagship phone price for non flagship phone.

In the face of everyone expecting an upgrade

For me, phones have been more than powerful enough for probably 5 years. I’m predominantly looking for battery life from my new phone, not more power. I think I’d happily use a Pixel 1 processor if it had double the battery life.

I have had my phone for 7 years now and recently replaced the battery for 20 bucks. I don’t really understand the need for fast af phones when everything already works smooth as butter. What are people doing on their phones that needs that much power?

Mobile gaming.
Lemmy isn’t really the iPad baby generation’s demographic.

Battery life and performance go hand in hand. Race to idle when done correctly gives both great battery life and feels nice to use.
I don’t use my phone for a lot of intensive things often, but when I do I punish this thing. Also for work we abuse our poor phones.

I don’t disagree with the theory but I’ve been getting barely a day of battery life since I started buying smartphones 15 years ago. As processor efficiencies are made, they waste all the power elsewhere.
I want to know how long a Nexus 5 would last with a modern battery and CPU and modem.

This exactly how I looked at my phone. I just got a pixel 8 pro this week upgrading from the pixel 3xl (because I fell for the sale email and got it for $600 lol) I was already considering upgrading as my phone had started acting up and hitching recently and it’s been about 5 years anyway.
Can’t say I’m a fan of the 8 pros battery life so far in comparison to the pixel 3xl though.
