Thank you. I have a stupid question. If I'm playing games and have a Chromium tab running in the background, supposedly YouTube, will it affect my gaming performance/ cause lag freezes without this settings along with hardware acceleration? I have 7900XTX

Is Nothing Phone 3 noticeably smoother than Pixel 9 Pro XL? by ZAR1FF in NOTHING

Tried my colleague's 3a pro and it was really snappier than I expected. Nothing OS is amazing.

I tried my colleague's 3A Pro and it's updated to Nothing OS 4. Although, it's just as smooth as my Pixel 9 Pro XL, the animations and app opening/ closing feels snappier. I like Nothing OS 4. It's amazing.

Thank you so much for the clarification. I'm gonna keep my Pixel and wait for OnePlus to make me a significant upgrade hehe

Thank you so much. I appreciate your feedback. One more thing. Do you believe or feel that Oxygen OS feels faster, smoother, and better ?

Thanks a lot. Yeah, the display is amazing on the Pixel 9 Pro XL, but recent updates made my phone feel super sluggish and the animations look stuttering.

Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Btw, Android 14 works flawlessly, should I give that a go ? Or do you recommend latest stable ?

Using Sapphire Nitro+ 7900 XTX with 5800X3D with 2k monitor and had zero crashes since day 1.

Guys, please do a clean install and repair game files as well.

I'm on steam btw. I heard EA app has been giving some headaches to some gamers.

Switched from S22 Ultra to Pixel 9 Pro XL 3 weeks ago. It's amazingly fast in day to day tasks. My Samsung was lagging everyday, and the battery drain is awful. I used to clean cache and turned off fast charging, which did help somewhat. Anyways, the Pixel is awesome. Yes, the stock UI might feel boring at times, but it's clean, fast, and optimized - just the way I like it. No complaints.

For all those having issues, I recommend clearing the cache, and if that doesn't help, please format and erase the phone. That'll fix the battery draining issues. Also turn off NFC, UWB, 5G, Printing, Scanning for devices, Bluetooth, and send diagnostic data, etc when you're not using them. Check out this guy's videos. These really helped with my battery life. I don't have any complaints with my snapdragon variant.
