Another new Android phone exposes the shortcomings of the Pixel smartphone.
Google’s Pixel devices are repeatedly criticized because the performance of the smartphones on offer is rarely consistent. On the one hand, there are big differences between the models, although they are actually equipped in the same way. There are big differences between the Pixel 7a and the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, with only the Pro model differing in available RAM.
Sometimes you only notice the difference with high performance demands, sometimes with simple things like when using the camera in everyday life or going back to the first page of the Start screen from Google Discover. Google still has some room for improvement everywhere. Is it hardware or software to blame? It’s not that clear.
Customers often don’t understand criticism
Of course, the criticism comes primarily from people like us, who are constantly trying new smartphones and devices from other manufacturers, while the average consumer usually replaces an old smartphone with a new model and, of course, is positively “surprised” by its working speed. .
That’s why it almost always has the same effect on comments: hardly any readers understand the criticism and sometimes throw the worst things at the author’s head. It’s no different with our US colleagues, as the article “I wish the Google Pixel had the same software stability as the Nothing Phone (2)” 9to5Google.
Tensor is a problem
And yes, I certainly understand my colleagues’ criticism. The new Nothing Phone (2) has a noticeably smoother system performance no matter the time of day and no matter the application. If you’re coming from a Pixel 7, for example, which likes to shake like its predecessor when the camera is turned on, the alternative smartphone will blow you away in a positive way.
I would say that the Nothing Phone (2) mainly benefits from the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. And at the same time, developers have adapted their firmware very well. Incidentally, it not only shows system performance, but also battery life, one of the biggest shortcomings of Pixel smartphones with Tensor chipsets.
