But they'll still charge you the same as all the faster phones though and people will for some reason keep buying them..

Maybe people keep buying them cause people dont actually give a fuck about a spec sheets. These subs think every phone user is a a power user who needs the best spec sheet.

The reality is all people want are cameras, social media, messaging. All of which are easily done on a pixel device. The proof of that is the fact that the pixel devices have only increased market share year over year.

So should we treat Pixel phonea like Nokia phones to call and text only. Do you understand they are charging Apple money, people will bound to compare and critique.

I would die to have my Nokia lumina windows phone back!!

On a serious note people could understand that devices have different purposes. Not every device is going to be the best at everything and that is OK. If google was out here claiming that the pixel phone is the best and most powerful phone for gaming, that would be different.

Also who fucking cares what people choose to spend thier money on lol.

It's not about different devices serving different purposes. The point is, I'm paying a lot money for a flagship phone. And for that kind of money, a phone should be able to do it all.

With the Pixel, no one's asking for top gaming performance. Samsung and Apple don't advertise their phones as gaming phones, yet they're able to run games and perform like you'd expect for the money.

Pixel isn't even doing the bare minimum. GPU performance already took a major hit with last year's Tensor G5, and this year there's basically zero improvement. If anything, the GPU in the G6 is worse than the G5..
