    • 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 missed out on many things too. While the Pixel Pro has an LTPO display, the base model doesn’t. They only ship with UFS 3.1 storage despite UFS 4.0 being available. Charger is still not bundled.

      Heck, give anything except for AI.(144Hz screen anyone? Motorola has them). I never used Assistant and after trying Gemini out for some time, disabled it as well.

      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.

        The pixel 7 pro is the first phone that im happy with after dozens of Samsung, Redmi, Xiaomi, HTC, Sony garbage phones. Especially Samsung is trash.

        The last good phone before that was my Motorola Droid.

        I’m almost done with smartphones and most of the internet anyway. It’s all corporate owned bullshit.

    HTC just released a nice Lil $600 phone with a headphone jack and a microSD card slot. Think I’d rather have that.

    @Xatolos If I buy Google Pixel it’s only because it’s the only one that supports GrapheneOs

      The iPhone is great from a design and hardware perspective. I just hate iOS, their stock apps, app pricing and the cultish community. So I wouldn’t mind an iPhone clone running Android.

      Would be nice if Graphene managed to implement some of those AI features locally. Without the AI use, i think this thing could fly. Seems the foldable might have really slow wireless charge though :(

    Just when I think the phone industry can’t get any more boring and frustrating, now new phone releases only add more AI bullshit.
