Hints
Display/Battery
Smaller displays consume a lower battery so, if you check the battery size, you have to check the display size and quality as well. Smaller batteries can be charged faster with a lower charger as well. So, smaller batteries don’t always mean it’s less. It depends on the display.
Chipset/Gaming/GPU
Nanoreview gaming score as of October 2023. Google Tensor G2 uses Mali-G710 MP7 GPU which is the main reason for its lower gaming performance compared to its predecessor Google Tensor which has a much higher gaming performance with Mali-G78 MP20 GPU. Mali-G710 MP7 has a much lower iGPU – FP32 Performance (Single-precision GFLOPS). Thus, Pixel 7 series is not considered ideal gaming smartphones and Pixel 6 series from the previous year is much better when it comes to mobile gaming.
Camera/Megapixels
Megapixels don’t same much about a camera, especially not at all when it comes to Google Pixel cameras. But they do give a bit of a hint for those who are experienced with smartphone cameras.
Display
QHD+ stands for Quad HD+ which is higher in quality than FHD+ which stands for Full HD+.
IP67/IP68 waterproof
Specifically, in the Google phones, IP67 waterproof phones can be submerged 1 meter underwater for 30 minutes. IP68 phones can be submerged 1.5 meter for 30 minutes.
