Footage on X shows Google’s Pixel 10 Pro XL stalling while it runs Genshin Impact, plagued by frame drops, flicker, and touch delay. Frame drops, screen flicker, and delayed touches turn the flagship into a budget-level performer. The trouble centers on the Tensor G5 chip, tuned for AI rather than graphics power. Daily tasks run fine, but intensive play overwhelms the processor within seconds.
Benchmarks rank the G5 behind Apple’s A19 Pro, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, and even last year’s G4. GPU tests trail a five-year-old iPhone 12 Pro Max, and heat forces quick throttling. Videos reveal system menus flickering, showing frame generation failures outside the game. Google’s focus on AI features leaves evident gaps in sustained gaming performance.
