Lot of errors in your comment. - Pixel 3/3XL had best camera in phones until 11/11 Pro were released (yeah even better than XS). - Pixel 3 didn't have best screen in Android phones. Not even close. 3XL had good screen, was not oversaturated. Samsung in general have had the best screens overall. - Lot of people actually don't think Pixel 3 looks like a cheaply made toy. Look for reviews. - iPhones won't be supported 3 times as long compared to Pixel 3s. - App store is not full of garbage. Source: I use a Pixel 3XL. Disc: Googler but nowhere close to the Pixel/phone teams.

> iPhones won't be supported 3 times as long compared to Pixel 3s. As someone who bought the very first Nexus phone (Nexus One, 2010), and several after that until the Nexus 5, I don’t believe this one bit and it’s why I moved to an iphone and never looked back. Google’s long term hardware support commitments are worth less than their human technical support commitments. Apple has demonstrated their commitment to long term hardware support. My 2013 MacBook Air still runs the latest version of MacOS (Catalina) six years later.

  Pixel XL (3 year old) was just updated to Android 10 (full update, not just security update). I don't think 9 year old iPhones are still getting full updates. AFAIK, all old update issues on Nexus were due to lack of driver support from Qualcomm[0]. Some of those have been mitigated in recent Android versions. 0 - https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/08/why-isnt-your-old-phone-getting-nougat-theres-blame-enough-to-go-around/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/08/why-isnt-your-old-ph...

> Pixel 3/3XL had best camera in phones until 11/11 Pro were released (yeah even better than XS). This was definitely true for low light pictures, but for all other cases I don't think it can be said objectively that the Pixel was better. > Lot of people actually don't think Pixel 3 looks like a cheaply made toy. Look for reviews. "Cheaply made toy" is strong wording but in my reading of reviews, it's very common for people to say it feels cheaper than an iPhone.
