The Pixels get a lot of hate from people who haven't used them though I think they are great phones and I'll never buy a Samsung phone again.
There are so many nice software touches on them that you just have to experience to appreciate.
- lvs 6y agoThis is not specific to a phone model. It works reasonably well on the venerable Nexus line of phones too. Any android device that uses gboard. I still won't actually use it for anything, but it works within a limited vocabulary. It's still not what I would call generally useful, although I'm sure it is very helpful for those with disabilities.
- muyuu 6y agoCan I try this in an older Android tablet? I thought it was a TF-lite thing under the hood.
- dijit 6y ago> I think they are great phones and I'll never buy a Samsung phone again. These are seperate statements. You can not like pixel but still consider them better than samsung. Personally I've had one samsung phone and it nearly put me off android entirely- had I not previously had a Oneplus1 I would have considered the entire ecosystem to be pretty garbage. Samsung is a very low bar for software/ecosystem.
- dguaraglia 6y agoI'd love to say I've had the same experience, but unfortunately that isn't the case. I'm on my fourth Pixel 3 because of hardware issues (the first time it was my fault, all the other ones not really). My previous Pixel 2 worked flawlessly for two years. I'm starting to think of going back to Samsung after this experience. Which is a shame, because I do love how unencumbered with bullshit features and spamware the phones are.
