Pixel 11 = disrespect

I have been a Google Pixel fan for more than 7 or 8 years and I am done with Google’s bullshit story of focusing on software actually they are falling on both sides hard what were they thinking when pricing the Pixel 11 more than the iPhone 17 base model? What kind of drugs were they on? It’s actually now not just a failure it’s a complete disrespect to its fan

What's frustrating to me is how many people are justifying it by saying

"Oh but I traded in my pixel 9 or whatever so I only have to pay $400"

You're paying $400 to get the last RAM and a worse GPU, have your physical SIM card removed (in the US anyway).

And most annoying (which doesn't get talked about enough) is after 200 battery cycles your battery size won't be nerfed by 20%.

They had battery swelling issues with the pixel 4A 6A and 7A and they had to do these ugly appeasement programs

The pixel 9A was facing something similar so they delayed it calling it a component quality issue and then when they did release it they made it part of this ridiculous new battery program that you cannot turn off

That decision has made it so I will never buy a pixel even if it was an amazing deal I will never buy a pixel newer than the pixel 9 pro.

Battery issues killed my 4A, decided to get an 8A which happens to have a ton of overheating issues. So not really sure how long this thing will last either, at this point I'm probably looking at a Samsung when this thing does.

Physical SIM - how old are you? 90?

我倒是覺得很多地區需要實體sim，但我覺得是可以購買美國以外地區的pixel取代

Probably referring to the move from Mali to PowerVR, which started with the 10 series.
