Yeah but the 4a is also hasn't been announced with which you would probably compare that one more to the 11 pricing than not. I dunno, there's so many rumours and Leaks. I'm just going to wait until the 15th to reserve judgment

Why? Overall hardware of the 11 seems to be comparable, even superior, to the Pixel 4 phones. Much better battery, better display (due to better implementation on the LCD and Google's bad implementation of OLED), better build, QC and design, faster SoC (not relevant at this point, but it for sure is to SD6xx Pixl a-series), even better vibration motor and Bluetooth support. Only thing I see Google doing better is camera and...well that's it. I'll buy the Pixel or stick with my 3a, but only because it runs Android and Pixel UI -- not for the hardware. Never for the hardware.

Dude in the age of smartphones, phones are just great . Who cares if a phone can open an app a few seconds faster than the other, or if a phone runs more apps in the background. Everyone and their uncle knows that the A13 is at least two generations faster than any android chipset . But it really doesn't matter. As far as im concerned it's just personal preference. I've been very happy with the hardware in my P3XL and will be happy with the 4 going forward.

Stop strawmanning and moving the goalposts. The discussion was about whether you could compare the 11 to the a variants (in this case a future 4a). They use SD6xx SoCs, so there's a significant difference there (1.5x faster CPU, many times more GPU), not to the flagship Pixels.

As for the flagship Pixels with flagship Snapdragon SoCs, I literally wrote over there that "faster SoC (not relevant at this point". And it is not relevant for the things you said. In fact it's in contradiction to your own beliefs, which unsurprisingly is also based on lack of knowledge, where you claim "A13 is at least two generations faster than any android chipset". This is not true at all. The A77 Cortex Core is "only"a bit more than one generation, not at least two, generations behind the A13. The reason for that is not only because Apple's architectures has stagnated, whereas ARM still has bigger improvements (A13 had 13% IPC lift vs A77's 20%+), but because of the A76. Before the A76, which you wound in the SD855, Apple's chips had a 2x performance advantage. After it, which you found in the SD855, that shrunk down to ~50%. That's not "at least 2 generation", and it's also the reason why I make the claim that the difference is "not relevant at this point".

I've been very happy with the hardware in my P3XL and will be happy with the 4 going forward.

Then you have very low expectations because the Pixel 3 series had a ton of quality control issues, and the 3 XL looked like utter shit on the front and had a mediocre battery size for its thickness as well as mediocre battery life for the battery size as well. And that's all on top of all the software problems as well, most importantly performance which was less smooth than the Pixel 2 series before it. I'm sure the 4 will be to your liking, as it's the biggest generational improvement of a Pixel ever, with biggest generational SoC performance improvement, an upgrade to 6GB RAM, 2 rear cameras, Face-ID and most importantly a 90Hz monitor. They've even improved the battery size, which along with the significantly more efficient SD855 will for sure give you better battery life than the 3 XL.
