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.

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

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

I wasn’t gunna…
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
