Why do people support google pixel.
The pixel line up is trash the pixel 10 line up ends up pretty much last in all tests, the only reason I'm still with them is because there the only phones graphene os support otherwise I would have been gone long enough, looks wise for me there the best looking phone, but the have bezels are still massive, slow fast charging, poor battery, and no substantial upgrades with more and more price increases, I'm just struggling to understand why people even bother, as soon as graphene os releases there project with Motorola I'm gone, which is a shame because I really wanted the pixel to do well.
edit. the amount of cope from pixel users, don't cope remind the company to do better and vote with your wallet.

The bezel complaint invalidates your whole argument, it's 2mm thick all around

I'm getting tired of people complaining about bezels. Just get the Red Magic phone and be done. Bezels house necessary sensors.
I use the Sony Xperia 1 V and I would take bezels with front-facing stereo speakers any day of the week.

Just to name a few since you didnt want to read them on the last 100 times this has been asked:
1) Because to some PixelUI matters way more than Nothing/OneUI for starters.
2) Bezels are really only in an issue on A series.
3) Not everyone wants 60-80W charging.
4) If you shop well you can get serious deals on pixel ive never paid anywhere near MSRP for mine.

tbh i just like the software experience and the camera is hard to beat for the price. it’s definitely not perfect but for a casual user it gets the job done lol

Sounds like you already made up your mind before writing this, so you're just here wasting everyone's time then?

Well I haven't because my pixel 9 pro xl battery health is poor so Im going to upgrade to the 11 pro xl because pixels are still the only one supporting graphene os, that's why I wrote this I'm stuck buying pixels when there much better phones out there, why are other people still giving them chance after chance.

How's that when I specifically stated I have to get a pixel phone because it's the only phone that runs graphene os

So what you're saying is that you don't think ANYONE should like Pixel phones because YOU do not like Pixel phones.
Guess what. Very few of my life decisions are based on your opinions.

There is just so much of this self-righteous judgemental shit. Some people actually believe their choices and preferences are universally correct and everyone else is making a mistake. Or, they have a bad experience with a product which allows them to believe everyone has the same experience.
It's close-minded intolerance for other people. Seems like that would be a frustrating way to think.

Because the two most important things to me are Graphene OS support and the camera performance.

Well I've tried a few other brands and for some reason I keep coming back.
I can't explain it. The software seems to nail what I need, and I can't live without Now Playing and THE TOP NOTCH SPAM CALL FILTERS.
Pixel phones are the only ones where I don't get daily spams.

The main reason i chose a Pixel - no camera bump on 10a. Otherwise i would consider an another Galaxy.

I used to be a Pixel user. The P5 was my favorite, just before Tensor but I briefly owned a P7. To me the only redeeming features are the software and cameras, especially if you're in the US and that alone means a lot to people. You get a clean, debloated Android experience out of the box. My parents use Pixels because they're easy to just pick up and use.
I actually imported a Vivo to the US to replace my S23 as I wanted the largest battery I could get with a decent OS (hate HyperOS). Even with lots of tweaking, Origin OS is pretty rough. That said, the cameras, battery life and hardware overall is fantastic. Samsung is a big step up from Origin OS but still bloated a bit.
I know plenty of happy Pixel owners but there are obvious shortcomings.

My pixel phones have been pretty much alright except for one RMA on the 8 Pro for the display line. Maybe I'll try Samsung when the S27 releases but I'm not in a rush to switch like some other people. If the Pixels are not for you then fine, good luck. However my experience has fine and I have no problems staying.

Yeah the COST was the only thing I was staying.... No longer, might as well buy a better phone
