        First of all, it doesn’t matter if you need a good GPU. You’re paying premium for a brand new flagship, and getting severely outdated hardware. Absolutely no excuse for that.

        As for use cases - emulation or just mobile games. Today’s phones are so powerful you can easily play a lot of console games up to PS3 era. The new Pixel might struggle with that shitty GPU.

        Probably not a deal breaker for anyone. Still, why buy this overpriced piece of shit when there are so many cheaper AND better phones?

          No excuse needed, since it doesn’t matter.

          […] can easily play a lot of console games up to PS3 era. The new Pixel might struggle with that shitty GPU.

          Why would a phone need to be able to do that?
          You’re basically saying: “A phone needs a good GPU, because other phones have good GPUs”, but that’s entirely missing the point.

          why buy this overpriced piece of shit

          Because it allows you to install the only mobile OS worth running.

      yeah, it’s not like the early days of smart phones where every generation was a huge jump in tech. we only see incremental changes now
