  • AI bs
  • Imitating the iPhones Design
  • Small performance improvement
  • Very expensive

They just completely alienate their core audience. Don't think I'll ever go back to them

They've also always had poor quality hardware, just like Apples iPhone offerings.

These companies use advertising to make their phones seem great, then they have severe issues (E.g. speaker issues on pixel, overheating on iPhone's).

It's all garbage, and it's bad for ya.

Tbh I went through a lot of Pixels that broke on some way:

  • 3a: fell on the floor, screen dead
  • 4XL Battery bloated and blew out the back glass
  • 5 fell on the floor, screen dead
  • 5 (replacement) usb port stopped working

The Pixel 6 is the first one that held up long term, but my next phone will probably be a fairphone
