Looks good though still looks similiar to the P7Pro, the matte black makes the phone looks more premium

Matte back like p4. rounded corners like p5. camera bar like p7. still ̶e̶x̶y̶n̶o̶s̶ ̶ tensor

Think moving forward, will be tensor since tensor was developed according to Google's specs

To clarify, starting from p9 onwards, google will no longer be using samsung but instead transitioning to the tsmc foundry

Then Pixel 9 will most likely have better battery life, lesser heat and more popular since its tensor is made by TSMC rather than Exynos.

 

[vibranze]

Is the 1" sensor rumored still true?

Rounded corners like the pixel 5

So funny leh fall back to old design...

I thought pixel 7 pro the corners are just nice, not as sharp as s23u.

Source?

 

[limmk]

Source?

Chilli sauce, bbq sauce or tartar sauce? worse scenario google could be stuck with samsung for the next tensor if the cost of tsmc's 4nm node is too high

Both options are acceptable, but i must admit that p7p is particularly appealing

you first day know Google ah?

Tensor g1, the first custom chip from google, has some performance and efficiency limitations along with potential heat issues. however, the upcoming tensor g2 is expected to address these concerns and offer significant improvements

Tensor g2, the second chip (replacing the aging cortex-a76 middle cores) from google, has some performance and efficiency limitations along with potential heat issues. however, the upcoming tensor g3 is expected to address these concerns and offer significant improvements

Tensor g3, the third chip (move to armv9) from google, has some performance and efficiency limitations along with potential heat issues. however, the upcoming tensor g4 is expected to address these concerns and offer significant improvements

Tensor g4, google's first truly custom chip (using tsmc 4nm) so it's gonna have problems, has some performance and efficiency limitations along with potential heat issues. however, the upcoming tensor g5 is expected to address these concerns and offer significant improvements

Tensor g5, google's second foray into the world of self-custom chip (using tsmc 3nm) so it's gonna have problems, has some performance and efficiency limitations along with potential heat issues. however, the upcoming tensor g6 and beyond is expected to address these concerns and offer significant improvements

tl;dr: same ****, different day, rinse and repeat

Remember Samsung's exynos 7420 v S810 saga in 2015?
They made the snapdragon 8 chips for 2016-18 no one complained

There will someday be a day where they get their manufacturing right

For a non hardcore user like me, I have no major issues with Tensor. Previously using 6a and now on p7, both has been perfectly fine as my daily driver using with 4G network. 8am to 8pm no problem

Qualcomm designs their chips but does not produce them; instead, they rely on tsmc and sammy for chip production. sammy designs their own chips but has not been very successful in creating processors that deliver better performance. 'interestingly', sammy does not use their own chips in their s23u model

 

[Aicirt]

I feel it's gonna take some years before tensor is usable......

Even for SD , ever since the 800 series....year after year overheating and battery draining for heavy user... only this year 8gen2 I can honestly feel the battery last around 15 to 20 percent stronger.
