It's unfortunate that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 series seems to have been completely botched by Qualcomm:

The curved display edges seem like a weird choice also, nobody seems to prefer those. Hoping to see better options with GOS support next year.
It's likely the device being tested doesn't have adequate cooling. It performs very well in the Signature 27 and is an upgrade over the previous generation SoC. It's an enormous upgrade over the performance of a Pixel 11 Pro XL. It has significantly beyond 2x higher GPU performance, 60% higher single threaded performance and 80% higher multithreaded performance.
I actually like curved adges. They make phones wider than 70 mm usable for me, within limits of course. Otherwise those are to wide.
