So if you think a Tensor 5-powered Pixel 10 will be usable in 7 years, while it may be still getting updates… I got oceanfront property in Colorado to sell you.
The only reason I’m on a Pixel 5 (which I bought last year - 2024) is because I couldn’t run a recent enough version of Android on my 2017 phone.
Phone hardware has been pretty good since at least then. If I’m happy with this performance, the only reason it would get reduced is by bloat in the OS and apps.
Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. My Android phone is from 2019 (Galaxy S10). My wife jokes that I’m slumming it with it because my main is an iPhone 16 Pro Max. I’m really not though. The screen isn’t as good on the S10, but the typing is light-years better. Nothing on iOS even compares to trace typing on Gboard for Android.
But yeah, even with the hardware being so far behind on paper, in practice most users will never notice. Apple can push benchmarks all they want but if you’re happy with your phone, does it matter if it’s not the fastest?
