      Pixel 7 owner here. I’m very happy with my phone and will gladly get a new pixel when this one dies.

          My one and only complaint with the 7 pro is the damn finger print reader. I miss the one on the back from my 5 and if you don’t have your thumb RIGHT over the right spot on the screen it’s easy to get blinded by the light if you are in a dark room. Outside that, love the phone.

            Eh, it’s been mostly fine, but yes, the fingerprint reader is literally worse than completely useless.

          6 pro here and I say the same. Best phone I’ve had since my s7 active. Everything between that and this was garbage. Well, I did like my lg g8 thinq but it had an unplanned swimming incident. I’m going to get a pixel as my next assuming graphene OS is still able to be loaded.

        I’m not happy at all with it, and I miss my P2XL and P4XL everyday because the face unlock and fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 7 is truly dogshit. It pisses me off multiple times a day

        when this one dies.

        Which is a problem for the phone manufacturers… because everyone’s saying that now. Phones all do what we need them to do already, there are no new killer features.

      Pixel 6 owner here, I’m probably sticking with pixels forever and will flash them with real Linux when that’s more developed, probably like 10 years away

      I got burned on a pixel device and I’ll never go back. In my case the phone was fine but Google botched an update and it took a year to really sort out. I stopped using the phone after two months of near unusable phone functions like answering a call. Much later I tried it again and it worked fine.

      So they might do updates for a while but are they shit updates?

        Because the phone is a giant spyware device and Google isn’t trustworthy.

          I love my p6pro and agree with the second sentiment. I also just think literally every company is spying on me at all times and I’d drive myself mad trying to stop them so why not just lean into it 🤷‍♀️ at least I have good qol in the meantime

      I’ve had a 2XL and a 4a. Both have been great. I’m debating whether to hold out for an 8 or save a few bucks like I did with the 4a and get a used 7 or something.
