Good to know, but nobody should buy a Pixel expecting it to be a high performance gaming phone. You buy it for all the smart Google features and camera.
I buy Pixel just for GrapheneOS lol

On one hand I understand their policy but buying a phone directly from Google when I’m trying to remove Google from my life just makes no sense in my head.
My 7 Pro can emulate Wii games flawlessly. Possibly switch, but I’ve not tried.
It’s a very powerful phone.
I haven’t experienced my 7 pro underperforming to the s22 either
Who are you kidding?
No one buys a Pixel to game lol. People buy it because it’s smarter at normal phone stuff. Unless you’re like me. I don’t really care about that stuff and I want privacy, so I bought one for GrapheneOS.
How tf did it score worse than the 7 Pro
Because it’s more optimised towards AI, you start off with an exynos chip which is ok for gaming and ok-ish as far as neural networks are concerned. The more you optimise it for AI tasks, the less easy it is to make it as available as it was before optimisation for rendering. So a G3 isn’t meant to be architecturaly better at gaming than a G2, the goal is to be way better at AI, and unless there is a leap in exynos architecture, that should increase with tha G4… Until google get it’s independant chip designs around ARM achitecture going. Until then they have to work within the limits of exynos limitations.
that’s a reason to buy one
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.
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.
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.

The site doesn’t work very well with Firefox. Tried opening the link on my phone and the page won’t load.
I don’t know if the phone will last 7 years of updates, if the SoC is already lagging behind a 2 year old snapdragon chip.

Damn it’s only slightly better than last year’s samsung flagship powerhouse. Probably it means candy crush will be lagging eh
It’s actually below. It’s only slightly above when the Samsung is throttling via the Game Optimizer Service.
So defo no candy crush
I wasn’t gunna…
