Google needs to get their shit together and put an actually competitive chip in their phones. I’m not buying a late cycle phone with a tensor processor that can’t even match the current snapdragon or A-series.
Google is busy locking android down to remove any freedom of choice.
nah they want it to be AI/tensor, thats why i went with oneplus instead.
I’m definitely keeping my eye out for Oneplus. Problem I had with them before though was that their UI was too flat and lacked transparent flourishes. That should change with iOS 26…
Also, why is the one plus pad so small…? Their ecosystem needs to be more feature aggressive.
But if they put a sufficiently capable chip in their phone, so that you can actually use your phone as a decent general purpose computer like how a smartphone should be like, they wouldn't be able to force you to buy their AI services anymore would they? Lol
Also remember how they had that very big and very clear text in their ChromeOS documentation, that says "ChromeOS is NOT a general purpose computer."? Oh boy would they not absolutely LOVE to make it exactly the same situation on Android so they can have absolute control over your interaction with the internet and profit, but alas they can't take away too many general purpose computing features from the Android OS with a version release without losing the entire market lol, so they try it with hardware XD
