Question how many will update to pixel 8pro?
- Thread starter itsclevelandbrown

Welp, the Tensor G3 benchmarks were posted. And unfortunately, it put on a rather disappointing performance scoring only around 8% better than the Tensor G2 overall.

Ever since that lawsuit smacked Google's phone department, they just haven't really been improving much at all with their cellphone lineup - which is rather upsetting considering how good they were before that lawsuit case had occurred.
For anyone who is not aware, the Pixel 1, 2, 3 and 4 series phones had all released prior to this incident. Then, Google's phone department got sued and lost over $200M (and if you were following this case as it went down, you can unfortunately blame Apple for this). Then, the Pixel 5 released, followed by the 6 and 7 series. The Pixel 5 was the first phone series that Google had released after the lawsuit. At this point in time, Google was attempting to make a financial recovery with their Pixel lineup. That is why the Pixel 5 series was so limited with its options and internal specifications. But then, a year later, we got the Pixel 6 series which went back to a similar setup to what Google had with their Pixel phones before the lawsuit: a Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro (if the lawsuit never occurred, their naming convention may have stayed the same and so the new phones at the time would have been called the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6XL). Anyway, another year then passed and we got the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.
So, needless to say at this point, but Google has been going out of their way to (internally) make their phone production since the Pixel 4 series more financially stable. That is why they had released the Tensor processor lineup. Because the Tensor lineup was just Google encasing older components into a new housing. But, if they had advertised their flagship phones utilizing chips that were 2, 3 or 4 years old and outdated, nobody would be interested in purchasing them. That is why they had created Tensor! Because with Tensor, they could use whichever older components that they wanted to (and could still afford during their financial recovery) in order to power the phone and could still advertise that their phones were using a brand new CPU - The Tensor - in order to still pique some interest in their flagship phone lineup!
Anywho, my apologies for the lengthy comment. I just wanted to clarify this stuff as I often see people complaining about things that have occured due to what was written above. A little clarification often goes a long way =P.

Putting any stock in a testbed engineering sample benchmark against a notoriously unreliable Geekbench site is ridiculous.
That, even if real, was ran on a dev board in April. I wouldn't take too much stock in the results. I believe the first leaks of the Tensor 2 came out in September of last year. Plus, benchmarks don't tell nearly the whole story.
Of course. This is understandable. I am not disappointed with the Tensor G2's performance as much as I am with the phone's rather disappointing battery life. So, if the G3 really only has an 8% performance improvement over the G2, then that would be fine by me. But, if the new chip design leads to a 30% battery improvement over the Pixel phones utilizing the G1 and G2, then it would be an absolutely amazing device!
That is the true improvement that I am personally looking for =D.
6/30/23 Update For Those Reading This Now:
Welp. I do not know what was specifically changed, however, the latest Android 14 beta build seems to have provided my device with a pretty drastic battery life improvement.

Those are incredibly suspect results...
The MediaTek Dimensity 9200 is the closest to the G3...
G3:
1 X3 @ 3GHz
4 A715 @ 2.45GHz
4 A510 @ 2.15GHz
Dimensity 9200:
1 X3 @ 3.05GHz
3 A715 @ 2.85GHz
4 A510 @ 1.8GHz
The Dimensity scores 1413 single core and 4950 multicore.
The leaked scores for the G3: 1186 single core and 3809 multicore.

The G3 should be pulling MUCH better scores than this, especially the single core result.
I'm leaning towards this being a fake result.

Google tensor G3 specs and benchmark scores leak, shed light on Exynos 2400
It has a nine-core CPU, and a ten-core GPU with ARM's latest graphics cores. We now have the first detailed specs of Google's upcoming Tensor G3 chipset...

Maybe Samsung borked the modem for Google on purpose, maybe
Having used the 6 Pro and 7 Pro, Google seems to let issues remain then fix a few in the next model. The 7 Pro fixed the reception issues from the 6 Pro. However, after using Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 models, the Tensor G2 feels slow, inefficient with battery life, and needs faster charging. I recently got to test a Motorola Edge+ 2023, and with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, UFS 4.0, stock Android, and 68w charging, that is the fastest device I've used hands down. If the 8 Pro can at least improve overall speed, battery life, and charging speeds, it could be a winner.
I for one try to take over the world! That's what on Earth I'm doing on my device. After that... It's personal... Nuf said!

Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro could serve as full-time desktop replacements

Google's upcoming flagships, the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, will allegedly support USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode. It allows the phones to output video to a screen over a USB-C to HDMI/DP port, potentially opening up possibilities for a dedicated desktop mode.

I struggled deciding to upgrade to an 8 Pro or the Fold. Since the Fold came out first, (and I have no will power), and I'll get $1000 back (monthly credits for 2 years) by upgrading (and monthly payments) from Fi, the Fold won.
Now what happens if I trade it for a Fold 2 after year 1? Do I lose out on the balance of the credit? Never thought of that until now. That would suck to be stuck with a paid off phone for 2 years.

I looked today, if i trade in my 7Pro (128gb) in perfect condiiton, i would get 370€. I paid 760 in march.
Is this normal?
I really love to get the p8 pro mainly because of the flat screen :-D

I'll hold off on the Pixel 8, still waiting for Oppo/OnePlus to work things out with AT&T (LOL!) to get their newer devices certified to work on their network w/all options (eg Hotspot, Wifi Calling, etc) which forced me to return the OnePlus11 and go with P7Pro.
If they have fast charging, I would try to upgrade, although I personally don't care for the "proof your not running fever, before next round of shot sensor".
Will probably upgrade because trade-in is only going to get worse. You're essentially paying $200 for a brand new phone. My predicament is I love the camera and how easy it is to root but battery and other things have me itching for a new company to step in. It would be Sony but their prices are insane. The Zenfone 10 has my interest but we'll see what Google has in store.

3I love my Pixel 7 Pro but here are my personal biggest gripes
1) Too heavy
2) Screen not bright enough
3) Overheats too easily
Has anyone heard any rumors regarding weight?
I read the new phones will be much brighter.
I read the new chipset is designed to run cooler.
If the new phones are lighter than the 7 versions and they are also brighter and lighter, I'm definitely upgrading.2
I'm just waiting to see the trade-in myself. The biggest reason I bought the P7P was to have a good value on a trade-in for the P8P. I think I remember the P6P was about 50% off the price of the P7P2
I'm going to stay with the 7pro for another couple of years. I will just from now to start saving for the 10 pro. The 8 pro doesn't seem as much as a upgrade to me now, this phone will also be fully operational for most people's needs to surpass needing to upgrade to the 9 pro.2
Not anytime soon but maybe when it has an established developer ecosystem and I figure out how to buy it new for a few hundred dollars. -
7Ironically,l I was just thinking about this today. When T-Mob paid off my Verizon P6P which was still in perfect condition I knew I had a solid Trade-in on the P7P and with the trade-in, I paid off the P7P right away so now I'm sitting on a solid value for the P8P. Since they're keeping the 8 Pro the same size (I like a bigger phone), I'll go that way and it will surely be released with Android 14.
I get the allure of the S23Pro but it's too much "stuff". I prefer to be a minimalist6That would be pretty impressive but I'm expecting an awful G715 GPU. New GN2 camera sensor.
Same 5300 modem but new Release 16 features that debut with Android 14. There's visible work starting toward Release 17 in the firmware.
The 8 Pro could be a very compelling beast. Hopefully, battery and charging speeds have kept up.4i am wondering how many of you guys gonna upgrade your phone to pixel 8 pro?
there is zero reason for me, as i also have s23 ultra lol4Welp, the Tensor G3 benchmarks were posted. And unfortunately, it put on a rather disappointing performance scoring only around 8% better than the Tensor G2 overall.
