Next up, one of the most important updates for this new release from Google would be its dedicated chipset, with Pixel 9 to get the Tensor G4 SoC. However, early leaks of the Tensor G4 regarded that its benchmark test only delivered slight improvements compared to the old Tensor G3 from the Pixel 8 series, but was said to feature a new ARMv9-A core.
Where's the punch?
- Where's the punch?
  In the face of everyone expecting an upgrade
  
  For me, phones have been more than powerful enough for probably 5 years. I'm predominantly looking for battery life from my new phone, not more power. I think I'd happily use a Pixel 1 processor if it had double the battery life.
- The balls
  Also, don't forget this flagship phone ships with 128gb of memory...
  This phone is competing against 2021 flagships.
  
  The odd bit here is that Pixel phones were not necessarily considered flagship phones. And accordingly we're priced not as flagship phones but if rumors are correct they are trying to get a flagship phone price for non flagship phone.

Fuckin advertised is the word you're looking for
Least rounded corners on a modern phone.
Seriously, does anyone like this trend? It just makes the screen exponentially smaller.
- I definitely don't like it, I'm pretty sure exponentially doesn't mean what this comment thinks it means though....
  
  Maybe it's logarithmic. IDK. I'm grumpy.
  Edit: I'm "measuring" how much smaller a rectangle gets to stay fully on the scree per how much the corners get rounded, if that makes sense.
- I don’t think you know what the word exponential means
  
  I do
- if you mean displays having rounded corners, I'm inclined to think about production cost, wastage, complexity, durability. Also tends to feature with front camera cutouts, under-display FP sensors.
  I wish we didn't go this route. Sony xperia phones still have a top and bottom bezel, the top accommodates the camera, they still have a dedicated FP sensor etc. they still have a 3.5mm jack, sd card slot lol
  shame you can't use them with graphene, calyx, etc.
  
  I have the 7a and even that amount of roubded corners pissed me off. I don't know what I'm gonna do after this phone. At least I'll get security updates for four more years.
- I personally am ok with the rounded corners since it makes it more ergonomic to handle. Part of why I got rid of my s22 ultra was the corners bit into my palm whenever I held it with one hand.
