Google expected the Tensor G5 processor to resolve persistent performance complaints about Pixel devices. Critics previously blamed Samsung's manufacturing process for overheating and sluggish operation compared to competitors. The Pixel 10 Pro XL received UFS 4.0 storage and 16GB RAM upgrades but still struggles against rival smartphones.
