        I absolutely love the irony of this being a known issue, when my Pixel 3 had the exciting issue of occasionally getting stuck in a boot loop, and every loop, it’d call 911.

        Great fun staying up till 3am in order to hang up on 911 hundreds of times until the battery ran out.

      I still don’t like the ridiculously big quick toggle icons and the fact that wifi is hidden behind a second layer of quick toggles.

      Also I’m not sure about the warranty process, that’s always been their weak spot

      I feel like it’s going to be the 7 year commitment. I don’t think they’ll keep it. They’ll find a way to rephrase and reframe and abandon the 7 year updates like they do so many of their announced plans.

          Which actually might be okay.

          The new features that I give a shit about have mostly plateaued now. I don’t care about new releases. As long as “what I bought keeps working and some cunt next to me on a laptop can’t randomly hack my phone” remains in effect I legitimately might not care.

            Phones just do the same stuff now, so updates don’t really matter beyond security. That’s a problem for the pixel 8 too… I’ve got a 7a and it’s not really got anything my 5 didn’t have, other than being bigger and heavier. So I’m not even bothered by the 8.

      1. Too expensive, won’t sell
      2. The 8 has too few features compared to the pro. Might as well get a 7pro on discount
      3. Overheating
      4. Won’t get 7 years of updates

      Their tizen chips aren’t good if you want to game. That’ll be about it compared to other high end phones. No SD slot, jack, or swappable battery.

        Tizen Tensor

        For those who don’t know: tizen is Samsung’s operating system which they used on phones and watches previously and still use on TVs.

        Yeah that was the main reason why I didn’t get a Pixel when I was going to change my old phone. I don’t game so often but when I do I want to not be slowed down…
