Why is it a deal breaker? Synthetic benchmarks don't mean anything. The real world experience of using a Pixel is faster/smoother.
It's about the battery life and heat output for me. I couldn't care less about peak performance, but I do care about efficiency. I had a phone (Zenfone 8) with the SD888 (Samsung Foundry like Tensor) and I will say, this was perhaps one of the worst phones I've used. I could barely get 3h of screen on time after 1.5 years (while taking care of the battery). My S23 gets double or more the battery life while having a smaller battery. I also care about device aesthetics like the even bezels on the screen. And the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner on the Samsung's is just leagues ahead of any optical sensor both in terms of speed and accuracy
And that's not to mention the bad signal issues
My Pixel 7 Pro doesn't have overheating issues and the battery is more than sufficient for me. Only the 6 series had unusually bad battery life.
