Last year they gave a lot of credits to pro fold with some % discount even.. then can use those extra credits to buy almost a whole new pixel /pixel pro then even more credits.. if you keep doing that your cc rebates/bonus points gao gao and earn a lot from reselling.. this year not that attractive but still decent..

not worth the effort. Others will also do this, flooded the market so u cant earn much or take time to offload...
earn is can earn but the time/effort really not worth....

Honestly the major letdown is the tensor G5 this year. It was supposed to be TSMC bump year but now even google themselves don't dare to make the G5 the focus in the ads.

Only 35% increase in performance, modem also never change lol. Like you said just have to see how it translate to battery life savings In real life usage.

The modem is just ok only. Not powerful like SD with OEM antenna optimizations ala OnePlus phones.

Actually also not worth the effort this year.

Pixel 10 Pro 256gb selling at $1599. Minus the $549 google credit, net is $1050. SingTel after the $300 discount, price is $1159. Don't think worth the effort...

Looks like Pixel 10 Pro XL 1TB deal from Singtel is the best if you need large storage. It's 1619 with free Pixel Qi2 wireless charger and Pixel Snapcase.

for me, battery efficiency plays a part too... I don't mind slightly slower chips. However, give me the battery efficiency with that slower performance.

I am living with a snapdragon 8 gen 3 phone right now, even a 7+ gen 3 phone runs smooth now too.

The thing that is killing tensor chips last time is the battery efficiency and that also translates to more heat produced by the chip, which kills other components in the phone fast. Hence, the QC of google phones are not really there. So, I don't really dare to buy the first batch.
