    They’ve also always had poor quality hardware, just like Apples iPhone offerings.

    These companies use advertising to make their phones seem great, then they have severe issues (E.g. speaker issues on pixel, overheating on iPhone’s).

    It’s all garbage, and it’s bad for ya.

      The pixel 7 pro is the first phone that im happy with after dozens of Samsung, Redmi, Xiaomi, HTC, Sony garbage phones. Especially Samsung is trash.

      The last good phone before that was my Motorola Droid.

      I’m almost done with smartphones and most of the internet anyway. It’s all corporate owned bullshit.

        I just upgraded to a Pixel 7 Pro recently. Previously I had a Galaxy S8 that worked fine for about 7 years. It was really just showing its age. It still holds a charge halfway decently.

        Might try installing GrapheneOS on it at some point.

        It feels fairly high quality though and I’m hoping I’ll be able to get 7 years out of it like the Galaxy.

      Tbh I went through a lot of Pixels that broke on some way:

      • 3a: fell on the floor, screen dead
      • 4XL Battery bloated and blew out the back glass
      • 5 fell on the floor, screen dead
      • 5 (replacement) usb port stopped working

      The Pixel 6 is the first one that held up long term, but my next phone will probably be a fairphone
