if you want cheap devices, dont buy a 1200usd phone, no one cares.

looks like another skip. let them multi billion company completes the base issue before im buying one. im cheaping out since im not another billionaire who welcome being their test rat

Would have liked a Mali-G720 MP7 GPU, tbh.

Come on Google, you have to realize that mobile gaming is huge. There are many people who are willing to give you a try if you had a somewhat powerful gpu comparable to snapdragon. Bunch of cheapskates.

Lemoussaillon, 29 Apr 2026Given how the Snapdragon 8 Elite gen 5 and MediaTek Dimensity 9500 throttle after just a few m... moreThe "stability over power" argument ignores the reality of the absolute performance floor. While the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Dimensity 9500 show higher percentage drops in performance under load, their throttled state remains significantly more powerful than the Tensor G5’s peak output.
Here are the logical flaws in prioritizing a lower-power, "stable" SoC:
Instruction Latency: A more powerful SoC completes "Race to Sleep" tasks faster. High-power cores handle background system processes, AI-driven image post-processing, and web script execution with lower latency, which translates to a more responsive UI, regardless of whether the user is gaming or just browsing.
Thermal Overhead: A weaker SoC must run at 90–100% of its capacity to handle intensive modern tasks, leaving no room for fluctuations. A flagship SoC can handle the same tasks at 30% load. This extra headroom prevents "micro-stutter" when a background notification or system update occurs during use.
Future-Proofing: OS updates and app bloat increase resource requirements over time. A chip that is "sufficient" for web browsing in 2026 will likely struggle in 2029. High-performance SoCs provide a buffer that extends the usable lifespan of the device.
Hardware Efficiency: Modern flagship nodes (TSMC 3nm/2nm) allow these chips to achieve higher performance-per-watt. Even when throttled, they often execute the same amount of work while consuming less total energy than a mid-range chip pushed to its limit.
Stability is only a virtue if the baseline performance is high enough to meet the demand. In this case, the "unstable" flagships still offer a higher minimum standard of performance than the "stable" alternative.

if you dont understand nor need something, why are you even in the market for it, if you're not in the market for it nor do you care enough to understand it, why bother saying all this?

Haha, that's just an excuse... or have you forgotten the prices Google is asking? You can get another device that blows the Pixel out of the water for less... they don't give you the best SoC or GPU, but they charge you like they do, hahaha.

The only criticisms were of build quality, which Google later improved. And we're talking about older Qualcomm SoCs. Imagine a Pixel 9 Pro XL or a Pixel 10 Pro with a Snapdragon, even an 8th gen, not the Elite version.

For the Pixel 11 to really stand out, they need a larger battery and fast charging of at least 80W, a 6,000mAh battery at a minimum, new camera sensors, and an updated camera app. But it's highly unlikely they'll do all that in a single generation.

Given how the Snapdragon 8 Elite gen 5 and MediaTek Dimensity 9500 throttle after just a few minutes of intensive use, is it really such a big deal to have less powerful but more stable SoCs? All that power for a device that will be used 99% for web browsing, social media, and casual gaming, isn't that a bit disproportionate?
However, where Google really needs to improve with its Pixel phones is battery life. They're dead last among all the flagship phones.

latest arm cores! coupled with a space saving 5 year old (not even leading edge) gpu. its going to be pretty bad.

Of course it runs cool when it's as powerful as a toaster lol
