    shitty Exynos cpus

    Funny how Exynos is shitty but when it’s rebranded as Google Tensor, it’s the strong heart of the best Android phones.

      To be fair, I’ve only ever seen negative opinions about the Tensor chips and the majority of it stems from it being an Exynos derivative.

        It is, and it’s the reason Pixel 6 and 7 series had so many issues with poor battery life and weak modem. Although it appears that the third generation Tensor CPUs in Pixel 8 have major improvements on both of these pain points.

        Still, that probably brings Pixel 8 only to the cheap-ish midrange standard when it comes to cell signal, as the Pixel 7 phones were atrocious and 6s were apparently even worse.
