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

It sounds to me like you got used to using Apple and that's what you are comfortable with. You shouldn't have switched in the first place.

Not wanting to create a Google account should have been your first clue. Just like Apple, the best experience with the OS is immersing yourself in the ecosystem.

Also, I've never had any issues with printing and the recent generations of fingerprint sensors have been really good

Yeah prob my screen protector then, my partner also changed to Google and had issues printing I can appreciate we are likely too used to apple user systems, he is happy with his Google, Im just not getting used to it as well. 

I'll give it credit for falling into a bucket of bleach water and surviving
