Pixel 7 Pro Thermal Throttling Tests, Max TDP, and Benchmarks

Hey. I don't usually post in the Android or Pixel Boards, but given the popularity/hype around the new Pixel 7s/Tensor G2s, I decided to give a barebones benchmark, similar to PC Hardware.

TLDR: Performance is great. Throttling is 82% of max_p. Battery life is 2.5 hours gaming.

My prior phone was an ASUS ROG2 (a high performance "gaming phone"), so my primary concern was performance, speed, heat, and frame rates.

For the benchmarks/scores, I tested both phones on a gigantic heatsink, so the...

How quick is your phone to take the first shot from locked?

I use my camera almost like a memory tool. I take pictures of letters, bills, receipts sometimes. If I need to remember how something was before I took it apart it, I take a picture of it. If I need to remember to buy groceries, I take a picture of whatever is running out. It's like a memento tool for me. So a quick capture is important to me.

My Pixel 4a takes about 2.5-3 seconds to take a phone from locked status. I use double tap power button and then tap the software shutter button.

PSA: It's looking like the Unlocked Pixel 7/7 Pro & Straight Talk/Tracfone's Verizon BYOP service are not compatible.

If you're using either Straight Talk, or Tracfone with their Verizon SIM, I would avoid the Unlocked Pixel 7 & 7 Pro for right now. I'm not sure if it's the phones themselves, or an issue with the carrier, or a combination of both, but it seems they're not compatible. I got my 7 Pro on Wednesday and tried using my ST Verizon SIM and it wouldn't work. I'm coming from a Oneplus 9 Pro and the SIM works just fine.

 

I say it could be an issue with either the phone, or with ST/TF because when...

When you open your camera app, it should be ready to record video not take pictures.

You can double click your power button to open the camera app from your pocket.

Never know when you need to catch something on film ASAP.

How do you feel?...

Opinion: Rooting should be a standard option

Rooting has been considered unsafe as of lately, and it's getting a pain to use some apps that you would otherwise use on a stock device (banking apps etc.)
That's also getting on my nerves.
I mean, what is root in general? It's basically admin rules for your device. On Windows you can tweak your system, yet it's not considered unsafe.
Root is regulated via root manager app, which means it's up to you to give an app root access or not.
Imo the true reason root is being suppressed is because it ...
