    surprisingly this is how people defend the new pixel 8 pro.

    $999 for mid-range performance? “Well I don’t play games anyway so it’s fine”

      How is any of that untrue? The pixels do a lot of things that no other phones do, why should the average phone user care about peak performance?

        because it costs $999.

        it only does what a <$500 phone can do, the the only reason pixels can “do what no other phones do” is not capability but artificial restrictions.
