I was coming from the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G and I so agree with you with what you said. I love the Pixel 8 Pro design language because it doesn't look like an Asian influenced phone like the Samsung and the OnePlus etc. BTW the Pixel 9 series looks like a iPgone with a pill shape camera bar. 🤮

[@markomarkovic5729]

I had a phone that worked flawlessly and I was very happy with (Samsung S21 FE), but I couldn't wait and two weeks ago I bought a Pixel 8, thinking the Pixel 9 wouldn't come out until October. To be honest, I'm very happy with the Pixel 8 and I don't regret the decision. I'll probably regret it once the Pixel 9 comes out, but I'm certainly not going to sell the P8, and since it's been announced that the Pixel 10 chipset will be built at TSMC, I might have made a good choice.

I miss the only 6 Pro because of the quick updates and compatibility with everything (Google Ecosystem), but the overheating and real world cellular connection issues made me ditch it. Dont really care who makes the chips, TSMC or otherwise, so im not too bothered by that.

I switched from a Pixel 4 XL to a iPhone 14 Pro Max. If I’m gonna be switching back to Android (specifically Pixel because I don’t need a massive phone with bloatware), that SOC is gonna have to improve significantly. It doesn’t necessarily have to match the A17 or whatever iPhones are shipping with now, but at least provide a smooth and snappy experience WITH (and this is very important) excellent battery life. TSMCs chips, especially their latest models, are pretty good at getting high performance with a low power draw. Pixel 10 might be the move back to Android.
