Hi,
I noticed that the Pixel 8 is slower than the Pixel 7a to install system updates ; in fact, it seems the Pixel 7a is faster in downloading and installing system updates or any sort of app updates.
Both devices are pretty idle when updating. I could explain the speed difference in downloading due to the Wi-Fi being faster on one device for whatever reason, but I could not explain the difference when installing (i.e. once the download is finished).
The Pixel 8 has more profiles and more apps, but not by much; security features are the same, except the added memory tagging exclusive (enabled) to the eighth generation.
The 8 has 256 GB; the 7a has 128 GB.
I noticed this speed difference several times now, always with the 7a being faster.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
