Google responds to lackluster benchmark scores of Tensor G4 inside the Pixel 9 line

[Peted06]

Honestly pixel phones are garbage. I used many in the past and swapped to Samsung Galaxy for a few phones and came back to pixel with the 8 pro. Biggest piece of s*** I've used the camera has great specs but the camera app is completely trash you can't lock exposure properly the higher megapixel mode lags like crazy making it unusable. Will never be buying one again.

As a mobile app dev I use Pixels for development purposes and I honestly love them. I would also prefer to use Pixels as daily driver, but due to lackluster performance my last non dev Pixel was the Pixel 4. The new P9 series looks amazing but there is no way im gonna spend flagship price on a device which can barely beat my Zenfone 9. Im slightly concerned about the performance too. Even I would say that while the ZF9 could certainly take 3-4 OS updates any further update would essentially make it unusable. If I take into account the G4 is on par with 8 Gen 1, then I dont think this phone coulf handle anything above 5 years.

They say this bs since tensor g1. The truth is, app loading and running on pixel is slower than iPhone or snapdragons. Also, when using aaI functions to edit photos and videos it is slower than snapdragons too.
