People are leaving Google Pixel and I finally understand why

It’s not us, Google. It’s you.

I still love my Pixel 6 and I am thinking of grabbing a used Pixel 8 to run GrapheneOS.

I am not one to chase the latest benchmarks. Any phone made in the past five years or so is perfectly capable once you take the bloat out.

Edit: I found a great deal on a Pixel 10 and have ordered it.

    Nexus 4, 5, 6 and 6p here. The 6p was a disaster. Everyone’s battery shit the bed and they screwed a lot of people over. Brutal.

    I’ve heard several similar things about the pixel brand. Not sure if the battery issues were due to software or hardware. But having a reliable battery is on top of my list of phone features.

    Edit: Nexus 5 was peak android device. I wish it had larger storage or a SD slot but it was still near perfect.

      I absolutely LOVED my 6p, but yeah, had two of them die on me, which wasn’t ideal. Although I was able to trade in the second one when I got my 2xl, and they gave me the full original value of the 6p back! 😁
