At this point I just want a phone that takes unbelievably amazing photos and videos under all lighting conditions and a phone that can zoom WAY the fuck out when I'm taking selfies.
I don't even pretend to know what else I'm paying for at this point. I just scan reviews until it feels like I've found a phone that will reward my $1000 (or so) with a significantly better camera. Too soon to say if these Pixels will lore me away from my S23 Ultra. Though I will say I am beyond sick and tired of Samsung's bloatware and associated problems and miss the days when I had a Pixel (or, before that, a Nexus). That, plus the fact that my S23 is almost paid off, might compel me to upgrade.
- Xeamek 2y ago>samsungs bloatware How is it any different then google's bloatware?
- standardUser 2y agoI'm more accustomed to Google's software. And I don't recall ever having to follow elaborate tutorials to uninstall/stop notifications for shit I don't want, like I do with every Samsung phone.
- Xeamek 2y agoBeing accustomed to one over another is fine, but there is no objective reason one would prefer google's calculator over samsungs one, or calendar or whatever. I have google's apps included on literally every android phone out there - why do we pretend like somehow it's the samsung that is the only one forcing bloat on people?
- standardUser 2y agoThe objective reason, as I mentioned, is user control. Samsung makes it too difficult to uproot their apps. Never had anything close to that problem with my many Google phones.
- Xeamek 2y agoYou can't fully remove google apps either, not to mention GMS itself
