Been using the Pixel 8 Pro for a day now. Tried to push the thermals of the device to see how it acts up. Compared to the Tensor G2 on the Pixel 7 Pro, it looks like a better story but not all good.
The Tensor G3 did not heat up during the setup process, it did not get unbearable during 4k 30 FPS 10-bit HDR video recording as well. These are relative positives.
The phone is unfortunately on the September patch and seems to have blocked some benchmark apps from the Play Store which is suspicious. So take this test with a pinch of salt.
