  • I can not recommend pixels anymore after owning my 7 pro for a year (been using google phones since the nexus 5x). Their own tensor chip is behind the competition by 2 years, but importantly they use a shitty modem which causes issues for a large portion of users.

    Also pixels used to have a significantly better camera than others, but I feel that gap is so small now that it doesn’t matter at the high end, they’re trading blows now.
    The only edge compared to the competition is getting access to google app features earlier than others, like magic eraser. Ain’t what it used to be anymore…



  • Imo no. Android used to be exciting and customizable.
    I think this aspect has been decreasing over time and the development of new features has stagnated somewhat.
    Of course, the os is also more mature and you can’t expect such growth forever.
    Still, they promised “feature drops”, I’ve had my pixel 7 pro and the pixel watch for a year now and they have added like 1 or 2 very minor features, and most of them are features in Google apps lol.

    I don’t like that seemingly everything gets tied to googles own BS now.
    iOS seems more and more appealing to me honestly, especially considering all the hardware issues with the Pixel.
