This is no surprise, just like it's no surprise that beedubya is veering off topic and bringing up things not mentioned in the article in order to deflect from the topic of the article.

To the surprise of literally no one, emmagee is hypocritically accusing someone of veering off topic and bringing up things not directly mentioned in the article in order to make a point from the topic of the article. We're not going to talk emmagee doing the same exact thing in other articles as indicated here:

To the surprise of literally no one, queenestgee is once again recycling posts just like Huawei recycles devices. 🥱🙄 Go figure. We're not going to talk about her doing literally the same thing in multiple comments here and elsewhere.

The Pixel consistently falls short in every category. Every article here on PhoneArena only serves to highlight what an epic failure this device is.

No, it doesn't. Better still photos than Apple and Samsung, better movies than Samsung (Apple leads with movies). Better AI performance overall because of Google's tight coordination of architecture and AI software. Better AI software, better interface. Great display, etc.


These simple benchmarks are meaningless unless you do serious gaming on your phone, which most of us don't. You'll never notice the diference in processor and GPU speed otherwise. And the AI bencchmark is misleading, for the reasons I mentioned -- Google's custom hardware is tuned towards the AI softwre that Google itself writes.

Seems to run games just fine tho... Mine run smooth and fast. No complaints. Far better than the 9 Pro XL. Worth the upgrade if you game, if you don't then it's definitely worth it.

Well, most of us don't do gaming on our phones and so the different processor and GPU speed don't have an impact. AI is another story, but google's AI is ahead of Samsung's and runs circles around Apple's, so it would seem that performance and integration matter more.

You can speak for yourself about not gaming, you are incorrect about the "most of us" part.. BUT that being said, I am a gamer and Pixel 11 Pro XL handles games perfectly, given I don't run extreme graphics, but pro players don't.. regardless the device. The Pixel 8 Pro was sufficient enough and they just get faster each year. They are more stable than Samsung Apple, you can charge and play constantly without over heating. Unlike their devices. So a peak benchmark test doesn't mean anything if it can't stay at the peak.

You're right, I asked AI about gaming and it said 65% of phone users do it. Hell, I used to do it myself, though we aren't talking about something elaborate.

Try PUBG mobile, it's a new level of fun once you get used to it
