Not a phrase I expected to read, whew. Tough customers.
I've been very happy with several generations of pixels at this point compared to the alternatives.
- vcxy 1y agoYeah, I recently upgraded to the 9a from the 4a for $250 USD and am still really enjoying Pixels. I might just be out of the loop on what's available, but I can't imagine many other phones at this price are competitive.
- triyambakam 1y ago6a to 9a here too!
- gertop 1y agoThe A line is still a competitive midrange (at least when on sale) and if you enjoy the pixel experience there's nothing wrong with it at all. However the regular pixel or the pro haven't been competitive in several years. This year is particularly bad because it's very close to iPhone price for less storage, less performance, worse battery life, and less easily accessible help (tech support/warranty/repair). The usual comeback is the the pixel is fast enough so it doesn't matter. And it's kinda true. But it doesn't change the fact that it's poor value, midrange hardware for premium price.
- esseph 1y agoI would never ever consider an iPhone.
- walthamstow 1y agoI've had the Pixel 1, 3, 5 and now 10 Pro. Each of the first three were the best phone I'd ever had up to that point in time. I still miss the 5.
- giantg2 1y agoJust curious, what have you found them better at than competitors?
- esseph 1y agoBasically pure android, no bloatware, no ads, no double apps to do the same thing, and a fairly long tail of security and feature patches, in the Google ecosystem.
