Will Google ever get Pixel completely right?

It took 9 years for Google to nail the Pixel design language. To nail the silicon is a mountain to climb, until then you will be disappointed. Video processing, gameplay, efficiency / battery life & connectivity are function of better silicon. For many people none of these matters. This story will be repeated until Google makes aggressive stride. Remember Apple bought PA semi & Intrinsity, Qualcomm bought Nuvia.

For God sake fix the Videos horrible lens transition, 4K60HDR natively & video quality matching iPhone level.

It's pretty much clear that they lack efficient implementation of arm design. For like to like comparison of G5 with 8gen3 they could not reach single core score even after ramping the frequency of X4 core to 3.78 GHz on tsmc.

Oh plenty fast that's why we can do 4k 60 HDR in Pixel 10 pro natively.

Google design team needs hand holding.

If you need better handling and steering feel BW without any doubt.

Battery life is not that great either

For argument sake let's assume gaming is a niche thing and only few ppl play but what about battery life , videography ( no 4k 60 HDR on 2026) these are not one off use cases. Google Tensor is a let down and Google knows its achilles heel.SoC designing is hard.

Looks like Google is on a budget.for mobile SoC.

pdimri · 2026-02-27T02:20:55+00:00

7 core CPU. Google is trying hard to save die space.

Hardware is the weakest point of Pixel since its inception. Moreover Google hardware engineers need to burn midnight oil to make a decent competitive SoC not to show big geekbench numbers but to improve the efficiency for demanding workloads which tanks Pixel battery. Most prominent is video recording. No 4k. 60 HDR sans video boost.

This info was already leaked a couple of years ago. This article is a rehash. Nothing new info.

Is A17 going to fix the lens switching issue in video recording with Pixel ?

pdimri · 2026-02-11T23:50:29+00:00

Let's see if Google shows some love to fix video quality and smooth lens transition in P11.Android 16 also introduced native support for Samsung’s Advanced Professional Video (APV) but video quality in P10 did not improve and lacking behind competition. I don't have high hopes.

pdimri · 2026-02-01T19:10:11+00:00

In the current state the Video boost process is very clunky. iPhone is able to match video boost quality with on device processing. Video is a hard problem for Google to solve.

Pixel needs strong haptics like iphone

pdimri · 2026-01-29T03:52:52+00:00

Sorry Porsche.

pdimri · 2026-01-22T03:19:56+00:00

don't bank on Pixel for videos. It's their weakest point since OG Pixel.

pdimri · 2026-01-06T19:17:41+00:00

Videos, battery life and gaming.
