    I totally feel this and really wish Google would just drop this tensor bullshit. I absolutely despise Samsungs software, but much to my chagrin, they were basically the only ones creating a decent foldable. The second the Pixel Fold dropped, I jumped ship, but holy moly the Tensor is fucking this device sideways. I get more signal problems than I should, and my wife’s pixel 6 is having the same shit.

    I was fine on Pixel 4 and don’t remember having much issue, but holy moly is this one noticeable. I hope they either fix it or switch, but I hear the Tensor 3 isn’t much better.

      I don’t. I think Google should continue with Tensor, and similarly, Samsung should continue with Exynos. I don’t like this dependence on Qualcomm at the flagship level.

        Sure, dependence on Qualcomm isn’t great… But I find having a phone with no functional signal to be worse. And if you want to argue “then buy a Samsung” etc, then you’re just replacing a CPU dependence with a manufacturer dependence. I find that to be even worse.

      I also switched from being a pixel user since forever because of the p7p signal issues. Agree on the tensor thing too.
