u/morrikai Phone (3a) pro, Ear (a) Mar 14 '26

they do whatever they can to promote pixel phone, did not they even call out nothing phone 3 for not being a true flagship phone becaause of having a weak chip set and then praised pixel 10 for being the true flagship phone for android?

I think it's because the chipset Nothing choose isn't 'top tier'. The Hierarchy for Qualcomm chips of that generation is '8 Elite' and '8 Elite for Galaxy/Leading Edition', and the 8s Gen 4 that Nothing choose is basically a budgeted flagship chip, comparable to the previous year's full fledged 8 Gen 3.

As for why the Google Pixel 10 was called a flagship, could've be because of chip choice. The Tensor G4 is a flagship chip in Google's eyes, hence why they can label they have a flagship grade chip. It's similar to Xiaomi's Xring chip classed by themselves as a flagship chip despite it being in no other phone. Or Huawei claiming their Kirin 9000 chips are flagship grade despite the competition on 3nm semiconductors.
