Google starts selling refurbished Pixel phones. They’re up to 40 percent off and come with the same warranty as a brand-new handset.

I ... just have not ever understood why a smart phone needs to have horsepower approaching or greater than handheld gaming consoles. Mobile games are basically fucking awful?

Yep, we got fancy cameras and high rez screens. Cool. Who can actually justify spending a grand or two on a phone every couple of years?

Anyway, I'm looking into getting a CMF phone, rooting it and de googling it.

Keep in mind that mobile gaming is huge in some parts of the world. A lot of the high-end, "gaming" phones sell pretty well in Asian markets. I believe South America is also pretty big on mobile gaming right now.
