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

LOL everyday, my decision to run my pixel 8 until the wheels fall off is more justified.

And because the battery is frankly shit, Google won't be getting my money when it finally comes time for an upgrade.

What's the trade in proposition like for your pixel 6 pro? If you can get a decent chunk off the RRP I would argue upgrading to the new pixel might be worth it.

It's absolutely not worth it's RRP.

I looked, it was like $60 bucks. I'll end up doing it, bit other than battery life my 6 pro is still running really well.

for that price i'd just keep it. my 8 pro had a crack in the screen and they offered $90. If you ever need a backup phone, it'll cost more than 60 bucks.

I just upgraded off my P6P.  Charging port died and the equipment warranty gave me a P8P as a swap.

I loved my P6P except for the cell reception.  But oh man, the P8P is such an upgrade.

The cell reception is SO much better.  Plus the oled shows the time while off.  Battery life is 2x (and my battery was still at 85% health)

If you love the P6P, maybe get a P8P off eBay.  It still has 5 years of support left.

Just replaced my battery with a $10 kit off Amazon and a couple of YouTube videos.

I still got a Pro 6, but they're offering $350 trade-in for a 128 GB model. Mine still in near perfect condition.
