    As a Pixel 6 Pro user, I’ll probably be picking up an 8 Pro on the account of its flat screen. If Tensor G3 is made using a smaller manufacturing process, that’ll be a bonus. Some 50-100mAh up or down on a 5Ah battery is meaningless and more about the shape of the device than anything else.

      It’s interesting how quickly flat screens turning into a selling point over curved. It’s definitely a conflict between usability and design aesthetic.

        Curved screens were a nice marketing wank to sell a few newer models but there are few advantages to them and some significant disadvantages. I’m sure most people still buy the marketing though since I have to point out the issues for them to people to notice them. 😁

          They did look nice when they first came onto the market. The challenge is that they’re just not great to use or live with!

            Agreed. It’s how Samsung sold them to us. 😁

        Funnily enough Motorola has launched an Edge series with curved screens.
