Pixel hardware are severely behind in terms of performance.
I have a 9 Pro and recently added a OnePlus 13 Pro. The Snapdragon 8 Elite is such a vast difference in terms of cooling and performance, that it feels criminal for Google to put out such subpar hardware on these $1k+ phones.
I've had multiple hardware issues in about the first year of owning it, so I really hope the partnership is profitable enough that they keep it.
I hope I can switch to Motorola and never have to buy a Pixel again. (Sorry, I am definitely venting a bit as well.)
