Going from a phone with a Snapdragon SoC to a Pixel with the Tensor SoC was a big downgrade for me. It gets hotter quicker when doing more demanding tasks, battery drains faster if network conditions are not perfect, etc.

We've been having some warm weather (~30ºC) around here and the other day my Pixel 8 Pro started warning me about the phone being too hot when I tried to record a video.

I like Google's Android skin and their long support periods, but Tensor holds these newer Pixels back.
