It all makes sense why Google was pivoting to a lifestyle brand in its keynote… they will never make it with the performance-forward demographic with current trends, so they have to attract other buyers. I really hope this is the worst year for the pixel line, because it is just flatly unacceptable what they’re pushing performance wise.
Especially at the price offered. On the better news I guess previous years lines will drop the price a bit.
Yeah somehow got a Pixel 9 Pro fold for 600 bucks, one year old, still no clue why it was so cheap, nothing is wrong with it.
Even in the used market, you’d be foolish to not buy a used s24 or OP12
Only if performance is more important to you than privacy
Privacy online is no more than an illusion with modern computing.
You should put an IP camera in your rest room then, edgelord
Honestly, at this point, I’m trying to decide if I even want to keep up with the Pixel GrapheneOS combo, or just switch to an iPhone. Feels like I get boned either way.
I figured the PowerVR GPU would be trashy. Even if the design is good, the drivers were certainly going to suck. Google is a budget hardware vendor selling for premium prices. I think I saw some reports where the chips pretty trashy compared to the competition even of CPU constrained tasks
Tensor 5 benchmarks at around what the S21 scores.
