Google Needs to Kill the Tensor! Time to Give Up!

You are 100% correct but, Google is trying to be Apple. Their pride will be their death. Snapdragon is way better.

I am so disappointed with Google. I don't know if I will be buying a pixel when I need a new phone. I will just use my 6Prpo till it's no good any more. Then might go with a One Plus. See what happens...

Same goes for samsung with exynos, tensor is just a crappier version of exynos.

I don't think Google needs to kill tensor. I think consumers can make their own choices and if a Pixel fits their needs then that's fine. AI features aren't mature enough IMHO to justify the expense at this point. I have a Pixel 7a for travel purposes when the size and camera are all I need. I probably won't buy another Pixel as I feel the S24 may fit my needs better going forward. But that's me.

You can put a snapdragon 765 g from a few years ago in the pixel 8 pro and it will run better than the tensor chip. I'm not a fan of tensor.

I just bought the s23 for the same price as the Pixel 8. The heating issues that they were still having like my Pixel 6 just turned me off !

I believe with the pixel 9 line up, most of you will be pleased. I just purchased the P8P two days ago, and 5g speeds are great(500-900), wifi speeds are fast as well, no overheating etc.

My issue with the Tensor is the phone reception, I would lose signal and get the sos thing when my iPhone would have full bars. It would do that like twice a day. I loved my pixel 8 pro but it has to be good at the phones actually primary function. I sold it on eBay and used the money towards the s24 ultra.

I have a Pixel 8 Pro. I have returneed the 7 Pro, twice. The 8 Pro is so much better, but, you are absolutely right, ditch Tensor!!! I loved the Snapdragon performance in the Pixel 5. Performance felt better than this new phone. The ONLY reason i usw pixel is the outstanding camera. Like the software also. This phone with SD will blow alway everything else. What are they waiting for????

Keep making these vids. Maybe they will pay attention.

I'm looking for a new phone. I REFUSE to go for a Exynos Samsung (not keen on Samsungs bloatware either). I WOULD go for a SD Pixel, but, obvs, they don't make that. I HAVE considered the Thinkphone or OP11 or 12 though... 🤔 And... To be honest... I don't care about all this 'AI stuff'...
😎🇬🇧

Hey my pixel 8 pro is amazing 👌 no complaints here .well besides switching wifi like garbage 💀lol I think all pixels do that .

I agree completely.. Sold my pixel 8 coz the hardware was failing on it... It was a mess apart from the camera... The motherboard had issues, speaker issues, microphone issues... And the the display gave in... Whatelse can go wrong with a phone in just 3 months..!!

A reaction on this Video from Google would be nice

I don't think many care about ai and even less understand the point of it. I certainly wouldn't want to pay hundreds more just to get a phone that does it well.

Bad take imo

Using a Pixel 8 Pro alongside a OnePlus 12, the Pixel feels perfectly fast. Competition is needed, don't give Qualcomm less competition or they will stagnate. Most likely the reason the 8g3 focused on AI was because Tensor exists and has been doing it for 3 generations.

It's all about saving money, making more money, and trying to follow Apple's model with a custom chip to eventually have a good custom chip. Maybe Samsung promised more than they delivered in the tensor chips?? Maybe Google knew up front the tensor chips wouldn't even be as good as the equivalent exynos chip, who knows?? I agree that it's not working, and Google knows this which is why they are going with TSMC custom chips with Pixel 10. That is our only hope because I doubt they are switching to snapdragon chips. Google missed a deadline with TSMC for the Pixel 9 which is why the new chip will be delayed until the Pixel 10. We might as well wait on Pixel 10 or 11 and say our prayers. That's why I'm not upgrading yet. I pray Google gets their act together because I love Pixel phones otherwise.

I came from using iphone 13 pro to pixel 8 pro. The good things about the pixel is the camera and the google software. However it doesn't feel powerful, the battery is trash. When its just a little dim i cant even unlock my phone, and im not even using my finger print im using a pin! I have to lift my phone up and down for it to light up and actually allow me to unlock it. Oh and i have to press enter after i put my pin,that may not be a big deal for some people but it is for me, its extra work.its little stuff like that, that makes iphone seamless and smooth. I just dont know if its a good investment because i really like the phone but the battery sucks! Ive been using my phone for five hours straight today and its on 10%, that is not acceptable. I dont want to have to have a dim phone just to make it last. Google needs to do better, they are on the right path but they need a better battery to compete wirh apple. I also noticed that i don't have as good reception as i did with my iphone on T-Mobile. I now pay more with verizon and have a pixel but less service? I blame pixel

Pulled my pixel 4a out of the closet (currently with oneplus 11, left pixel 7.) . The pixel 4a still running smooth like new on a snapdragon 730g

My Pixel 6 rocks

I think they'll be able to sell at whatever price if they take up Qualcomm or TSMC. Foundations has been set and everyone knows the Pixel line.

this guy thinks that google cannot collaborate with TSMC and make a chip better than everyone , funny 🤣

Hasn't your son just gone over to a Google pixel 8 pro he asked wonderingly 🤔

A little late to the party here but I just have to add my two cents when it comes to all of this gripe about "chips", "RAM", "Storage", or whatever else people want to complain about when it comes to talking about these so called "phones". I'm a brand new Pixel 8 customer. Not because I want to be but because I already know that no matter how hard I try and fight I have to accept "modern". They force you to. So, there is no better device than Google's own if you want to become what they call "future proof". Seven years OS updates, seven years security updates. Whatever. I charge this stupid thing once a week. Sunday night. It lasts me an entire week without having to do another charge. Why? or how you guys may ask? Because I use it for a phone. Not a computer. This is where we have become lost in regards to people compaining about all of this unnecessary BS. A phone was literally invented to do two things. A. Make calls and B. Receive calls. Thats it. No chips, no RAM, no Storage, no texting, no surfing the web. Nothing. Even the earlier days of CELLULAR technology did not require all of this crap people are addicted to nowadays. A cell phone and a Smart phone are two different things. There is nothing wrong with the Pixel 8 or any other "phone" on the market. If you aren't a person stupid enough to put your entire life on it or shoving your big dumb faces in the screen every five minutes of your day you would be surprised just how great the "Tensor G3 chip" is or any other chip for that matter. The phones are not the problem. Its the users. Plain and simple. I don't care what Google has promised in terms of capabilities of this chip, their stupid "AI", or whatever else. Eventually these devices will plateau because you can only go so fast no matter what chip you have. So maybe people need to start focusing on their own internal chip which is their brains and start using them for once and start using a phone for what its worth. A phone. I cannot believe people make money off of reveiwing this sh!t.

As long as the tensor bases on exynos it will be 💩

I don't like the esthetic look of the pixel! Not for me!

Thx , a very interesting, intriguing vid,✌️

It's known that they are just cost cutting until they complete the R&D to have their in-house made chip. Pixel 9 will still have Samsung chip and Pixel 10 will probably have the first google chip.

Yeah, but if Pixel switches to Snapdragon again would they still be this affordable? Or would it match the flagship Samsungs in price?

I'd be curious to see if they could work with Mediatek. The 9300 matches snapdragon in benchmarks.

It’s just funny that they haven’t put a flagship chipset in since the Pixel 4. Performance was amazing but hardware wasn’t great (bad battery, facial recognition, etc). Imagine if they put an 8 gen 4 on the pixel 9 series with the crazy hardware they got now. I think they’d really dominate but I can also see why they’re kinda holding back too.

My thought is that Pixel/ Google is using their phone users as a mass software testing program. They don't seem to really care about the actual phone.

I agree 100%

Maybe they should go for a top mediatek chip

Has the show me 14 ultra uses a mediatek chip and is not a slow phone

The pixel 8 is equivalent to the s22 with a better camera.

We have gotten to a point where more computation power on a smartphone is irelevant, we are running out of usecases (except of gaming) where you would need all that horsepower. Frankly in the modern world I just want to buy a smartphone and not care about upgrading in the next 5 years, the googles promise for long term software support is just that.

They're lacking. My Pixel 8 Pro just noticeably lags on things like loading some pages compared to my spouses S23 Ultra, the app launcher appears to crash when switching around between different apps, and it heats up when doing basic shit like backing up a handful of pictures.

Google g4 is going to be amazing same specs has uk s24 😎

True. Google will do wonders with MediaTek

Well said!!!! I’m so sick of Google fanboys making lame duck excuses for the shitty weak ass Tensor chips!

If only Google in 2021 had partnered with qualcomm instead of Samsung exynos in making their joint custom chip, pixel phones would have been great phones and much better than it turned out.

Tensor ruined my experience with the Google pixel line of phones. When I first started with a pixel 4xl, I enjoyed the experience so much despite a few shortcomings that I was accustomed to with Samsung; but certain features of the Pixel phones were enough to make me not miss Samsung. Then came the Pixel 6 with a new Tensor processor. The sites touted the compatibility of this processor with the AI ​​of Google phones; so I got a Pixel 6 pro. Great disappointment, it's even disgusting; I no longer had the courage to upgrade, I prefer my Pixel 4xl even better. Now I plan to return to Samsung.

The problem is the Samsung chip, Google needs to go TSMC!

This is why I'm replacing my p8p. Tensor is just plain crap

Google just needs to be honest with their branding. The Tensor line is NOT a flagship chip. It is a very high end midrange chip. If you want the fastest midrange, the Tensor is it, no question. But if you want a flagship, Google has nothing to offer.

Samsung is known to make slower chips, so if they're putting the tensor chip and Samsung is making it, maybe that's the problem. I'm looking forward to the Tensor 5, but until then if I get another phone I'm getting a cheap one and see what the Tensor 5 brings to the table.

On the other hand if Qualcomm and Google worked together and Qualcomm helped with the Tensor chip I think it could be a home run. That's not going to happen though.

😂Trust me Google and Samsung are teaming up on purpose to beat out apple on speed and performance of CPU, GPU, and Memory, along with AI. Take a look at what even MKBHD is saying as well. The only way Google and Samsung can be competitive in the future with AI and price along with battery 🔋 life is creating an in house chip with peak optimization
