- solardev 3y agoTo avoid having to use crappy UIs and apps from random OEMs. And to get updates directly from Google. I never wanted "Google compatible" phone like an IBM compatible PC. Just like the Wintel ecosystem, Android fragmented into chaos. Pixels are the only way to get a Google phone now without all the third party bloat and crapware.

At the time when I got my last pixel it was also three years of security updates. Add to that that the average consumer won't buy at release date. Quite pathetic (compared to Apple).
- solardev 3y agoYeah, it's terrible compared to Apple. I tried an iPhone for a few months but just didn't like it :/
- melagonster 3y agounfortunately, I trust there is no competition for same price of iPhone:( so maybe other cheaper Android cellphones are better choices haha.
- disgruntledphd2 3y agoThey've at least upped security updates to 5 years from the 6 on. At this point though, I'm mostly still on Pixels because I dislike Apple more than Google.
