What a Google licking piece of "journalism" without any information whatsoever

Reads like some random writers opinion piece of their favourite phone.

Worthless article

My lord. I have a Pixel 8 and this is a trash fucking article.

The new pixels look like iPhones and i hate that, however, the soft and hardware are very good. The article is... Questionable

(the optics can be changed with a good case tbh)

As a Pixel owner myself, I'm not impressed with this analysis. I've watched as they went from amazing (Pixel 1) to decent (Pixel 4a) to meh (Pixel 6a). The build quality has gone down and the feature set had become more generic. And yes, I'm still pissed off they dropped the audio jack.

I've tried Galaxies and I'm also not thrilled by them. I'm hoping that someone comes out with a quality but relatively affordable phone that isn't riddled with bloatware at some point in the future. Doesn't even have to be Android. Just not iOS. But I'm not going to hold my breath.
