My pixel has mediocre battery life, the CPU is poorly optimized. Maybe 5 hours sot will bring battery down to 30% from like 80%. My old lg gets like 10+ hours sot, this thing just sips battery. Don't get a pixel 6 series, go for a mid range mediatek CPU with a decent enough gpu. Unless you are gaming lower end mediatek CPUs tend to get insane battery.

It's a good soc expect thermal problems I would say Google did a amazing job considering it is their first costum soc and bold of them to put two cortex x1 CPU cores in

Is the Tensor good enough for low-moderate gaming?

Why does this have such a high gaming performance. It should be in the 80s not 90s. It's literally the speed of exynos 990 and sd 865

It also seemed strange to me, I have reviewed other processors and cell phones and it has been changed with the new Antutu 10. I wonder if they are real or wrong points.
