It’s barely “decent” because it’s not even as powerful as a base PS5 which came out 5 years ago. Consoles are the baseline for any AA or AAA game and it will become outdated very quickly for a PC you can’t even fully upgrade.

It runs Linux out of the box not Windows, so it’s not normal. Not to mention it’s barely upgradeable, HDD and RAM only. I know some prebuilts lock you out of upgrading but you can buy plenty that you can fully modify yourself.

Unfortunately “console people who just want to plug something in and start playing” is a pretty big slice of the type of people that like playing multiplayer games especially AAAs which won’t always work. Not to mention they will still be served with a PC game so there will be all of the regular options like graphics that PC players are exposed to.

I’m really hoping Valve proves me wrong but I don’t think I’d recommend this device to a console only player as their first PC.

At least the SteamDeck was a different form factor, this will find it difficult to compete with consoles forget normal pre-builts, especially if its more expensive than both

It’s a bit of a hard sell in an environment where being economical is the first thing on people’s minds. That’s a very niche audience. People who don’t want to build their own PC, don’t want a normal prebuilt, and are okay being less powerful than a console, and will not to mention not play a ton of multiplayer games out of the box. It’s not going to capture anyone from the console market and its not going to capture the hardcore PC nerds.

DOA already if it’s priced more than that. Who is this marketed to?

This is the result of an already years long lawsuit. Google can’t drag it for long, in fact initially they were given only 2 weeks after the decision to implement this but like I said they’ve settled with Epic to make these changes from Android 17 onwards

That is impossible because Google will be legally required to make these changes as part of the Epic lawsuit. They have already lost the case to the Supreme Court and they have kind of settled with Epic before the court made a decision. If they back out then Epic will absolutely kill them in court again.

Technically they can make these changes in US only but that would probably be too much to make basically 2 different OS for US and ROW

This is due to the Epic lawsuit, the app store will be treated as an actual “app store” rather than a standard app which will have its own advantages

In fact any registered app store will basically have an almost play store like experience I suppose rather than having the standard extra resistance provided when you install an app currently

Yeah this seems to be almost the exact same phone as a 9a if the rumoured specs are true? Maybe it’ll have Pixelsnap at most

Where’s Lemmy gold when you need it

This is already supposed to be a stripped down Windows version for handhelds

It’s still a feature that was expected to be removed tbf but sounds like its been partly upgraded

As many as Palestinians by Israel? I dunno, what a weird question to ask

Chinese phone cameras are far superior than anything else. It would be cool tbf
