    The only reason I am buying Pixel devices is the amazing third party os / rom support (especially GrapheneOS).

      Same. I don’t care about the camera or AI features, the speakers could be louder, and a few other nitpicks, but it supports GrapheneOS, has a long SW support cycle, and has some great security hardware, so I bought one. I actually kind of prefer my older, crappy Moto phone in some ways, but I’m unwilling to use an insecure device, and ROMs aren’t supported (well, I guess I could sign an abusive agreement).

      So yeah, Pixel wins for me because of GOS and longer SW support. That’s honestly it.

    When is the industry going to recognize that the camera needs to be flush with the back?

    This is ridiculous

    Wow those camera bumps look so ugly. They had a nice look in the previous generations

        I know a few people (including myself) who use pixel. They’re pretty moderately priced (compared to iphones) and the functionality is nice. Also, they have the longest Android suppoet.

          Not many complaints on my side either. I just wanted a phone without nonsense installed. It’s not quite as customisable as I may want (I can’t get rid of some pre installed applications, but yeah.

              I bought it in the UK, no network locks these days, no bloat. I just mean standard stuff like the Calendar, Gmail, etc.
