Quote from: Xerox_xr on August 28, 2025, 20:45:28The number of people defending this performance is absolutely disgusting they are same people who would cry when google release phone each year with 3% increase and get way with while the whole competition is aiming for 10-20% you think the competition is fool for getting that much ahead? Not to mention the price is google charging is the same as the competition is about disgusting to see these people

Must be an apple fanboy. Apple gives you the same phone 3 years in a row and people think it's the best thing since sliced bread. Every time I show someone something on my phone, they are amazed but still act like Android is "disgusting" as you say. My Pixel had never given me any problems. But you can't convince a fanboy to see otherwise.

There are much better Android phones than the overpriced Pixel ones. The Vivo X200 Ultra or the 15 Ultra are massively better than any Pixel.

I think it bears asking-  Following the article's update and improved scores, is it really fair to keep the article title as is? It is the first thing readers see.  I'll admit I don't know how significant if an improvement it is compared to other flagships but dismal seems a bit harsh or even biased given that even heavy users will find the performance more than adequate.

the amount of cope and delusion in this thread from pixel fanboys is astounding yet unsurprising. have fun with your inevitable lithium ion battery pillow or cascade of modem and overheating issues or severe bug-ridden barebones Fischer Price UI that is universally laughed at GLOBALLY. meanwhile Oppo, Honor, Vivo, OnePlus, Huawei, Xiaomi, and Samsung will continue to dominate the market while offering better software features that Google eventually steals *ahem* I mean "open source and collaborate" into AOSP.

And most games will play fine. If you're a big mobile gamer you don't get Pixels you get Rog phones which are specifically designed for gamers. A phone's daily experience isn't just based on cpu and gpu speeds. It's a much bigger picture and the Pixel 10 is going to be better than most other phones in this regards.

Clearly someone that isn't used other vendor phones

Quote from: Jaybird on August 27, 2025, 22:27:48I've been using my Pixel 8 pro for two year now and there is nothing that it can't do for me that I desire. Way snappier than my old Samsung s10+.  These data metrics mean nothing to anyone who doesn't game on their phone. If you are a Google Sphere person then some version of the Pixel family is your best choice.  I bought mine as a refurb trade infor $320 and it's been perfect.

Comparing a old phone to a new of course it gonna be faster go pick up a s2x series of same generation and see the difference of a person that can't see the obvious will say it looks the same

What a joke op 13 while costing less has more features and can easily outperform pixel 10 pro

Taking into consideration the lackluster warranty quality, the awful battery issues that plague Pixel phones, especially after certain SW updates, plus the SW issues that seem to pop up every so often... (which is puzzling, taking into consideration that they are the ones creating Android, yet they seem to have more bugs than other brands) I would never recommend a Pixel phone.

August 27 (so today) is the first day when Google allows reviews, no embargo anymore, wait for proper reviews with fully updated phones (and not with basically a pre-release version).

Reviews are out, the phone is excellent 🤠

The phone is essentially $350-$450 each year given Google's generous trade-ins, Store credits, etc.  I don't expect the top-tier performance, and I don't game on phones, and never will.  I pay for near-release security updates, Call screen, Firefox, and as little-mangled OS/skin as possible.  Also never want to touch an Apple or Samsung device again.  Oneplus is pretty much the only other phone I would consider now.

Extremely happy with Pixel 7/9 Pros that I've had and my 10 Pro arrives tomorrow!

Indeed. For sure after that happens, it will move the performance up a tier or 2. From atrocious and disappointing to below average and still pretty weak.

Just based on Google's SoC performance history from the last 5 years.
