Hard disagree. I've used Pixel phones for years and they're generally great phones. Biggest previous complaint was their software upgrade support window was too short, but now they offer 7 years of upgrades.
Pixel phones imo are like gaming on linux. Yes it’s passable, yes it’s getting better, but if you’re fooling yourself if you think it’s comparable to gaming on Windows.
Tbh as someone who's bounced between Nexus, iPhone and Pixel, I really don't think so
All ios users say the same as you the first time they use a pixel, but it's the same when an android user tries an iPhone. They're extremely different experiences, far more different than we expect (because on the surface they're both smartphones), and we mistake the differences for general shittiness.
Overall I probably prefer ios by a small margin, but people like what they're used to
Useless analogies are just useless analogies. Care to explain, with specifics, why you feel that way?
The Pixel has a fantastic camera (e.g. https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-pixel-7-vs-apple...), and it's "smart calling features" (e.g. better handling of spam calls, transcripts for call menus, "hold for me", etc.) are hugely important features for me.
Not GP but FWIW, I went from a 2020 Huawei P30 Pro to a 2023 Pixel 7 Pro, and the camera feels like a downgrade... I know on paper it's not, but there's just something about the tele mode in particular that is off somehow.
Pixels phones are some of the best Android phones on the market. Unlike gaming on Linux, Pixel phones run everything in the Android ecosystem quite well, as they are intended. If you're going to compare it to gaming on linux, then Pixel phones are the Steamdecks of that world;
