- izacus 3y agoPixels were never profitable.
- crop_rotation 3y agoPixel never felt competitive. The camera is good but unless you live only in Google land for everything, it is hard to see it becoming a profitable product.
- Alupis 3y ago> unless you live only in Google land for everything You mean like, 99% of Android users? It's the fringe that use de-googled-yet-still-android phones - not the norm. If you're into Android, Pixel is a great offering.
- crop_rotation 3y agoNo, "99% of Android users" don't live in Google land for "everything". I am not talking about degoogled users here. But a vast majority of android users use very few google apps(apps like maps, youtube and iOS) which would be used on iOS as well) and many don't even use google photos.
- Alupis 3y ago100% of which have Gmail accounts... which is required for Play Store access and payments. A significant portion are going to have Google One (for cloud backups, including photos...). What are you talking about then? Pixel is a high-end android device, even if you try not to use google services.
- izacus 3y agoIt's even the best choice for de-googled users, since it has regular source drops for security updates and ability to upload custom signing keys for bootloader lock.
- CydeWeys 3y agoPixel phones are pretty damn good. My last 3 phones have all been Pixels. And they have damn good cameras/image AI, often coming in #1 for image quality (yes, above the iPhone). I use my phone for taking photographs a LOT, to the point that I barely even get out my mirrorless anymore, so photo quality is hugely important to me. And Google Photos is best in class as well.
