Honestly I’m done with pixels after the 6. I loved the 4 and the 5, but they got rid of the fingerprint scanner in lieu of the screen reader version which fucking sucks. Among other complaints (including shorter battery life and increased charge times… like wtf?!) Google services in general just continue eroding.
Using it and loving it. Didn’t like how big newer phones were getting, and was planning to get the 8, but was waiting for more reviews… a lot more hesitant now.
Yeah I was looking at the 8 and am thinking I’d best leave it alone. I genuinely don’t know what to get if this phone kicks the bucket. I don’t really dig iOS and I’ve never had luck with brands like Samsung beyond a couple of years; seems like they slow down dramatically as was the case with my S9.
I can’t leave my 4a (4G) because their phones suck now and I hate bloatware which makes Samsung phones unattractive. I really wish they would get back to basics.
As soon as they kill Google Fi I’m out. I suspect with Fi they are (re)selling the service at no profit or a loss in order to promote their devices which they continue to fuck up in one way or another every year. Eventually it will go the way of all this other shit.
I dropped my Pixel 7 Pro yesterday which was fortunately insured. Went back to my 4XL and WOW, this phone feels way more performant than the 7 Pro. So much more responsive, sleek, and just WORKS.
I feel like Google’s hardware strategy has been really awful the last few years. The 7 Pro is what the 6 Pro should have been. I have 3 or 4 generations of Buds just lingering around that I never touch. Used the Watch for a week before I decided it was pointless.

I really like my 6 pro, but I was considering upgrading until I saw so many issues being talked about
6 pro also, I think I’m going another year at this point .
Still have my 5; still as good as the day I got it.
My screen sensor died on that one.
What is that; the bit that turns the screen off when it’s against your ear?
Basically you couldn’t type words because the center of the keyboard quit recognizing touch.

True man. Been on google phone train since Nexus days and now i am just done after pixel 6
I was rocking a Pixel 2 until I upgraded to a 6 and the only reason I even did that was because the battery puffed up.
The 4 didn’t had any Fingerprints scanners.
Yes it did:

4a =/= 4
Yeah, this is even more annoying than dropping the headphone support.
Weird Asian phones are where its at. Super cheap, more repairable, on par spec wise with flagships.
