Not to mention a gpu from 2021...
https://9to5google.com/2026/04/28/google-pixel-11-tensor-g6-cpu-gpu-leak/
why the fuck do people care about GPUs in phones‽
Gaming for one? My Sony Xperia II handles games far better than my Pixel 8 Pro. So I have to keep my old phone as a gaming phone 🥲
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 You're paying premium for a brand new flagship, and getting severely outdated hardware.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.
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.
Because it allows you to install the only mobile OS worth running.
OP gave you a perfectly legitimate answer and you act a prick, go douche it up elsewhere.
They did not, They managed to miss the point entirely.
