Seriously, there are people buying phones to play high specs games on it?
There are platforms that are so much better than phones for gaming, and most people playing games on their phones are playing small F2P crap anyway.
Pixel software features are cool but being weaker than the Snapdragon 888 is embarrassing for the high price they're charging.

Games are not fungible.
-
Even the Switch or Deck are not convenient to carry around every day.
Personally, Android is not in my top 3 preferred platforms for gaming, and yet I still do play games on it.
I understand that people play games on Android.
What I don't understand is people who would look at "gaming performances" for a phone or decide on a model based on that.

yea this is the only reason why i have been staying away from pixels. i don't play much games on my phone but the soc is soo mid.
My main reason for buying a 6 refurbished was GrapheneOS. Beyond that, it's a phone without an SD card slot or an easily replacee battery. When this phone gets an issue I can't fix, I'll probably re-evaluate what to get - hopefully still a GrapheneOS phone but more repaiarable and expandable.
I was enjoying the Xiaomi but it's essentially useless in the US, they're low key black balling those brand of phones here in SoCal at least.
I loved everything about it I still have it as my "second phone" I keep on WiFi, if it worked here I would have enjoyed it.
I also went to Central America and took it with me out there to use, it was perfect.
