More whining about the RAM "downgrade", even though it won't make a bit of difference in day to day use, or the fact that every manufacturer will be selling phones with less RAM for more money going forward. Maybe find another dead horse to beat.
I find it hilarious that PA is so gungho about the Pixels and performance even though day to day tasks speaks more than numbers on paper. Oh and you can't talk about specs when you're constantly giving a certain fruity company a free pass, but we're not going to talk about that one are we?
It’s not the lower RAM that’s the real problem; it’s the $100 price increase. If Google wanted to reduce the RAM, they should have kept the price the same to avoid this backlash. Paying more for less is a legitimate issue, as it should be.
You are wrong to dismiss the backlash, especially regarding the pricing. Unlike Google, Apple has consistently upgraded components like RAM and battery capacity over the last few years without raising their base prices. Meanwhile, Google and Samsung have hiked their prices multiple times while often reusing the same hardware.
It is frustrating to see Google remove 4GB of RAM while simultaneously increasing the price by $100. When you compare this to Apple, who has steadily increased specs like RAM at no extra cost, it’s clear that Google’s strategy is to charge more for less. Users are rightfully upset because, unlike competitors who provide meaningful hardware improvements, Google and Samsung are essentially asking customers to pay a premium for incremental changes and software features.
This is a load of bull crap lol. It took Apple how many iterations to FINALLY update the base iPhone? Lol Google was offering higher Hertz on the Pixel A phones for years now. AND offering the same SoC as the flagship Pixels up to the 9A, which used the 9 series SoC. You are the last one who should be talking about incremental changes.
