Honestly, this series is just really bad.

Google is just blindly catching up with Apple in updates and don't really GAF about their CPU performance which can only last until 2027.

Raising the prices was a bad move, honestly. Pixels are now competing directly against real flagship phones, and its weaknesses are now apparent. Google hasn't fixed them.

A weak SoC but strong camera is forgivable in a "flagship killer" that's cheaper. Buyers know they have to sacrifice something to get a low price. But now that it's actual flagship price, buyers should expect to get everything. But it's still missing a lot of basics - general performance, battery life, heating/sustained workload, and so on...
