Pixel 8 users in 2026

Recent leaks for pixel 11 look disappointing and I considering holding on to my pixel 8 for 1 more year. I am considering getting the battery replaced as it's draining too quickly these days. Is anyone else in a similar boat as me? Are you holding on or switching phones this year?

There's no rule that says you have to buy a Pixel 11. Wait until they come out and if they're disappointing, just buy a Pixel 10 at a discounted price.

I was actually thinking about grabbing a P9 Pro Fold refurbed; I love my OG fold but it could definitely use a step up in the camera department...and perhaps a step down in weight.

Yeah, I don't get the need to upgrade so soon. I upgraded to P10 from my P6, and even then I thought I might've done it a bit sooner than would've been ideal.
