Pixel for video recording?
Pixel for video recording?
Some say older pixels (4 or 5) have longer battery life and no (or minimal?) overheat issues when compared to Tensor chip devices. Is this true?
I haven't tried any pixels yet and I'm planning to buy one even if its one of the old Snapdragon phones if that is recommended. I plan to use the device for long duration of video recording. So something with good camera and doesn't overheat.
Having had every pixel except the 4, 6, and 9, I'm gonna tell you that I had overheating issues on the pixel 1 and 2, and that battery life has been decent for me (a moderate phone user) on all of these devices except the pixel 3 which towards the end had the memory leak problem and was using battery when it wasn't supposed to be. Most of my overheating issues have happened when the phone is charging (mostly using wireless charging or charging in a place that's already got a high temp like in a car).
I'm not sure you're going to get the battery life you're looking for out of an older phone unless it's brand new/never been used or you degoogle it with a ROM like Graphene OS.
Yeah totally understand about battery life. I think I'd choose an older pixel only if its really cheap and just serve as a backup. How's your 9 doing btw?
The 8 pro is going well so far, barring the weird touch issues at the very corner edges of the screen. Haven't had any other problems with it.
Husband just bought a 9 pro, but it's too early to tell, honestly. He seems to like it quite a lot though.
im a moderate to low phone user. my phone will last 1-2 days. its a pixel 8 pro with grapheneos. only overheating i get is during charging, usually in a warm location like my car, or if an app is being dumb and needs nudging into place.
