    Ah, shame - I’d heard mixed reports over whether Graphene manages to fix some of the performance issues of the stock ROM, but that’s one more data point in the Nope column.

    I guess Tensor still has some fundamental issues that have yet to be ironed out.

      It’s basically Exynos isn’t it? Dunno if it is the chip… battery was good though. Tested it as an internet only phone not for calls etc (no sim card). Also I need to clarify that the lag is not there in all apps but in quite few though. So it must be the architecture of apps and not the chip.

        I’d say it’s more like a cousin/sibling of Exynos rather than being a straight rebrand. They share very similar clock management and power management architecture, although there are enough differences to set them apart.

        It could well be that certain apps are optimized more towards Qualcomm’s Snapdragon architecture over Tensor, which would account for why the Nothing Phone appears to perform better in certain apps than Pixels do, or it could be that the SoC’s thermal management or clock profiling is leading to inefficiencies in performance.

        Could be a little from column A and a little from column B, so to speak.
