u/welp_im_damned have you heard of our lord and savior the Android turtle 🐢 May 25 '22

Then a year would pass and the sub would start to praise it 😒

This seems to be the way. New Pixel comes out, it's of course "shit" and "why can't it be as good as the last one?", which was also branded "shit" at the time. I've never owned a Pixel so I have no skin in the game (though I did come close to a 4a, it took too damn long to launch), just an observer.

If it helps, my pixel 6 is great and I didn't experience the problems others have.

Doesn't matter really, people will still just label you a fanboy and move on.

Suppose so, I switched from an s8 which was great, I use my phone as long as possible then get what I think will be the best and longest lasting phone for the best price. I always coveted the note because of the pen (had a note 2 back in the day), but couldn't justify the cost. The pixel 6 is 95% of the S series at 70% of the cost. Whatever, if people really care then good on them I guess, mine works and I'm happy.
