    This post reads a little like

    C O N S U M E O N S U M E

    The one thing the pixels really have going for themselves is that the user can degoogle them and slap grapheneos on it. Literally the only reason I bought a pixel, everything else about it is very much average.

        I’d still recommend a pixel if you care about your security and privacy, but the phone definitely isnt somehow extraordinary. Good quality (at least mine is), the expected specs for a modern phone, no complaints.

        Just that it is, well, a normal smartphone otherwise. Unless you want to put a custom OS on it you won’t find it very different from any other smartphone.

          I actually need a separate phone just for business purposes, like messaging, emails, calls. A few productivity apps.

          I like the long support window of pixels as I won’t have to replace the phone as frequently.

          I really love the idea of the dex mode of the galaxy phones. I wish I could dock the pixel and use it as my main work device. It’s the only reason I’m not 100% sold on a pixel as my next device.

      Why?

      If you are gonna comment something like that (you know the opposite of a what everyone else seems to think) it’s a completely useless comment unless you actually say why.

        It is slow. Constantly bogs down. Won’t open apps at will. The keyboard sticks open often and comes up when isn’t requested. Maps often won’t search. Lots of reasons it sucks big fat balls.
