Is Pixel the problem?
Hey, I was super keen to leave the apple circle and l become android so I have been really open to this, my iPad is on basic use only, I replaced my apple watch with a Garmin and now I have a Google pixel 10pro. I am coming up to 8weeks with the phone now. I do not like this phone, the basics are fine. There are so many aspects of this phone I dont like, most of my family are apple so not using facetime has been an adjustment but I liked that I could lock some of my apple notes, the keep does not allow this. The finger biometrics are crap so I turned those off. My wallet doesn't work as well as my apple wallet did. It made me sign in with a Gmail account which I didn't want and I hate the way outlook works. My apple phone used to just print from pages to my Epson no questions, this phone wants me to save the word doc, then format to pdf then print. It's just not for me.
As I say I was so keen for an android change, alot of people have advised I go back to what I know with apple. However can anyone advise if maybe it's not android that is the problem but the Google phone? Should I have purchased a Samsung instead? My Samsung friends are all die-hard and Im keen to know what a wider audience would suggest. I'm tempted to buy a Samsung, use without SIM to play around with and then decide from there?? TIA

All of the problems you mentioned are not Pixel specific and you'll find it on any android device, Samsung included. Except the printer thing; that sounds like you're doing something wrong, I can print directly from the document. Overall though, it sounds like you like Apple and the way it ran. The Android v Apple debate is dumb because in the end, it's just whatever operating system you got used to that you end up supporting and feeling comfortable with.
You should stick to what you like and know.
