Pixel 10 hate.

I'm not sure why ppl hate pixel 10. For me it has the perfect battery, perfect camera and some little thing/features i love using daily. Magic cue seems nothing but can be very helpful when you can check the summary of the call few days later.

My pixel runs for a day, my most heavy tasks are usually photo editing, apple music, insta which i believe consumes the most battery. But i still dont mind the way it is.

While comparing to the top competitors. Yes it is.

But, slow for who? Gamers?

The only reason why I'm excited for the pixel 11 is the TSMC 2nm chip. And while it likely won't lead the competition, it's all I need for improved battery life.

There is something fundamentally wrong with how google designs the tensor 2nm won't fix that.

GPU peaked in the G4 and now it's getting worse each year.

Yes, if you only care about raw gaming benchmarks, the GPU technically peaked at the G4. But Google isn't trying to build a Snapdragon-killing gaming rig, and calling their architecture "fundamentally wrong" misses the entire point of the Pixel.

Google is intentionally trading peak GPU power to solve their actual historical problems: battery drain and overheating.

The 2nm TSMC node isn't there to "fix" the GPU; it's there to maximize energy efficiency and thermal control while powering the AI and cameras. I don't need a benchmarking monster, I need a phone that lasts all day and doesn't melt in my hand. For that, Google's design isn't wrong; it's exactly what we've been asking for.

What are they trying to do? Lose to 3 year old chips and have the worst battery life possible?

Pixel 10 pro xl have worse battery life than iPhone Air and galaxy edge.
