    and smaller screens? 145 x 65 mm would be perfect! and anything larger than 150 x 70 is too big.

      Yep. I held the 7 and 7a in the shop the other day and they were enormous! Bigger than my OnePlus 6T which I think is already huge.

      Nope the 8 is basically 150x70. Basically a taller S23. Zenfone wins out for me, even though I prefer smaller.

      I’m not sure if it’s my eyesight changing, but I keep wanting bigger screens now! It’s weird thinking I’m not that far off from having a Nexus 7 held up to my ear while using my S23 Ultra.

    Sounds like this may be indicative of the Tensor G3 not being significantly more efficient which is kind of disappointing

      Are you currently on a Pixel? I haven’t been able to quit Samsung over the last number of years.

        Hate Samsung devices still. Using my Pixel 6 Pro and probably will until the Pixel 9 or something

        Pixel 7 Pro right now, honestly contemplating trying an iPhone or switching back to Samsung. Battery life is eh, screen brightness is eh, for some reason my GPS is terrible and requires calibrating almost every day or it’ll just randomly move a block or two off constantly.

      Not sure, Apple with the iPhone 15 increase their battery capacities while having an efficient CPU, so maybe Google doesn’t want to be relegated. It’s difficult to offer a 1-day battery life when your main opponent is leaning towards 2 days.

      I got my 6a for $150 and got some decent bt earbuds. I will exclusively stick to Pixels, for the main reason of them being supported by custom Roms the best. I will never go back to Stock or any other proprietary bloat os.

      My SO has used Pixel phones exclusively since they first came out and every single one somehow seemed to update every week and progressively get buggies.

      And the hardware is even worse. Already RMA’d her first Pixel 6 Pro, thought we’d have to RMA it again last week because the gyro was stuck on the y axis (luckily dropping it fixed the issue for now).

      Battery life has been incredibly poor comparing to any other comparable phones. Signal strength likewise having issues even in a urban city of 300k people.

    As a Pixel 6 Pro user, I’ll probably be picking up an 8 Pro on the account of its flat screen. If Tensor G3 is made using a smaller manufacturing process, that’ll be a bonus. Some 50-100mAh up or down on a 5Ah battery is meaningless and more about the shape of the device than anything else.

      It’s interesting how quickly flat screens turning into a selling point over curved. It’s definitely a conflict between usability and design aesthetic.

        Curved screens were a nice marketing wank to sell a few newer models but there are few advantages to them and some significant disadvantages. I’m sure most people still buy the marketing though since I have to point out the issues for them to people to notice them. 😁

          They did look nice when they first came onto the market. The challenge is that they’re just not great to use or live with!

        Funnily enough Motorola has launched an Edge series with curved screens.

    Still rocking my Pixel 4a 5G and refuse to upgrade until I absolutely have to.

    The camera is more than sufficient, I still get compliments on my photos. The interface is perfectly fine. The battery lasts all day and you’ll pry my aux port from my cold, dead hands!

    I’m tired of supporting these yearly releases when there’s been hardly any meaningful change in generations.

      I’m still using my Pixel 4XL. Going strong. I don’t feel the need to move on either.

      And YES I do miss having an aux port lol.
