The only important question is: will it support GrapheneOS? Which we don't yet have answer for.

    I guess 128 GB was the low end, so that being gone is probably not a bad thing.

    it's a bad thing. The lowest you have to pay for a pixel now is 999 EUR. I think I paid around 600 USD for my pixel 8, and it was already more than I'm comfortable spending on a phone. We should stop normalizing $1000+ phones.

    You don't have to buy the top of the line phones... The a-series pixels work just fine for me. Just recently got the 10a for like $400 on sale I think.

    The A-series is where Google dumps all the problematic phone batteries and commercialises them.

    Still work fine for me. Yeah, I had one of the 6a phones that had the bad battery but they gave me a $150 credit towards the 10a, so that was nice. Bought a replacement battery of Ifixit for the 6a, and gave it to my son.

    So complain about the fact that the base model is priced that high, don't complain about the fact that devices with lower specs are no longer being produced. Technology advances. Lower storage tiers will always inevitably eventually stop being made.

    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 You're paying premium for a brand new flagship, and getting severely outdated hardware.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.

    [...] can easily play a lot of console games up to PS3 era. The new Pixel might struggle with that shitty GPU.

    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.

    why buy this overpriced piece of shit

    Because it allows you to install the only mobile OS worth running.

    End of security updates would be the best answer. But probably for novelty
