Yep, Tensor is a rebadged Exynos 9855, rocking an older 5G modem and A76 cores instead of A78c though it has 2x Cortex X1 cores versus the Exynos 2100 in S21 Ultra which has 1x Cortex X1 cores. AnandTech have done a breakdown of performance and confirmed that much like recent Samsungs with Exynos, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro struggle with heat dissipation and lead to heavy heat and throttling of performance, and less battery life. In terms of power Tensor falls behind Snapdragon 888 and falls even further behind Apple A13 (iPhone 11 Pro), Apple A14 (iPhone 12 Pro) and A15 (iPhone 13 Pro), Im shocked the A13 is still ahead of most recent Android chips actually, heres the breakdown: [link] https://www.anandtech.com/show/17032/tensor-soc-performance-efficiency[/link] * +

No it on the Snapdragon 888, only the a15 beats it, my Mrs has the iPhone 13 and my phone on it, and I went to the dark side and loved iPhone, my battery lasts all day but I'm not overly on it slot, I don't get 5g with my network so can't txt that out yet * +

Plus the 5g depends on your network, because the American 5g modem is different to the European modem

Yeah I saw on JerryRigEverything that the global Pixel 6 uses the standard 5G (sub6) and not mmWave. I hate how there is this difference in 5G rollout globally. My Huawei Mate 40 Pro is the same, only has sub6 5G, I get good speeds on my network though, but I have to be in specific parts of my apartment to get it, like when sitting in the loft upstairs I get about 460Mbps but when I move downstairs it drops to what is mostly 4G plus speeds (around 150-350Mbps) same speeds as my iPhone 11 Pro Max on 4G plus, happy to just use my home Fibre connection, so 5G stays turned off most of the time unless I am out. * +

Very true. As long as you are enjoying the phone though, thats what matters, I was just a little disappointed that the chip is not a thorough Google made one in the Pixel 6, I still want one but would need to import it
