You should though. I have a Pixel 7 Pro. I've seen all the reviews/tests showing how bad of a chip it is. But in day to day use it's fast snappy and pretty good.
it does however warm the device a lot and warmth = battery loss.
Tensor G1 and G2 would probably be absolutely fine if fabbed on TSMC.

I don't have issues with the radios personally (I did on my Pixel 6)
Mine is borderline unusable compared to my pixel 5.
Is it summer and am I outdoors? Phone will shutdown due to overheating.
Am I using Google maps and the phone is mounted in direct sunlight? It will throttle dark mode to manage overheating .
Have I been using the phone throughout the day? It needs to be charged before I leave work.
Honestly I'd say my p7p is the worst phone I've had in a long time, it's hard to go back without considering how phones were for their time, but my instinct is that the last time I had a phone this comparably bad it was a Samsung Galaxy s3.
Interesting. Mine gets warm but never had anything throttle
I get the full disco effect as it flicks between dark mode and normal attempting to cool down.
Small question.
Which apps make your phone heat up?
None specifically. Its just warm when browsing around, especially on 5G
So, it's just dealing with high data traffic and using it's antenna. It is normal for any phone to heat up under those circunstances. ππ‘οΈπ±
Yeah it's not abnormal at all, just a bit more than other phones i've had. And heat is just wasted energy. Overall love the phone
