The global variants of Xiaomi smartphones will reportedly no longer allow bootloader unlocking, as the company is said to be planning to shut down the program. It's worth noting that Xiaomi has already closed the program in China.
To 99% of people, battery life matters much more than it being 8% faster compared to last year’s model. Though it can be argued that the pixel’s efficiency sucks and that it affects the battery life significantly. For example on my phone I would gladly use the low power mode that reduces the cpu perf to about 70%, except it also forces the display to go to 60hz
Yeah that’s true, but it’s supposed to be a top model if you look at the insane price. So what do you actually get for that money then? I don’t know what they are the best at, and also the camera housing is very ugly.
Pixel cpu is embarrassing though. Very low performance, and they somehow manage to convince the press it’s fine by saying it’s AI optimized. Wtf…

Fair point, it should get better for the pixel 10 though because iirc they will be switching to TSMC from Samsung foundry
