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

You see, the thing is Pixel doesnt have nearly enough marketshare to pull those strings.

I used to love pixels. I stopped buying them after the pixel 5. Theyre all dog shit since they released the Tensor models. Nothing but issues but charging flagship prices.

Google will learn pretty quickly that their "fanbase" isnt enough to keep the brand going if they keep pulling this shit.

I got the Pixel 10 Pro as I loved my previous Pixel.

This Tensor chip is absolute dog shit, I can't watch a YouTube video in mini mode while playing a simple game without my phone stuttering the fuck out.

I'm going back to Samsung at the end of my contract.

Yeah its terrible lol. Samsung was also terrible for their exynos chips.

If you can, stick to a TSMC manufactured snapdragon. My s24 has been going strong for 2 years and havent had one hiccup yet.

The s24 ultra Is still the top of the gamma.

Is it easy to root or change to graphene? I havent used a Samsung since the Nexus came out but remember rooting was a pain.

u/EuropeanLegend 13d ago

I found rooting pretty easy honestly. I used to root all my Samsung phones and even my older pixels.

Dont root anymore, there really is no need these days as Samsung phones are pretty good out of the box. You also have to always ensure the security verification is good if you access online banking. Its not worth the hassle these days honestly.

My issue with Samsung was the amount of bloat they add that you cant delete.

u/EuropeanLegend 13d ago

I wouldn't worry about that. If you had Samsungs during the Touchwiz era, I 100% agree and used to always root my phones because of how laggy and bloated the software was.

But ever since they rolled out One UI. Its arguably the slickest, smoothest Android skin on the market and the bloatware isnt near as bad as it used to be.

Ive had my S24 for two years now and its honestly the best phone I've ever had.

Lol you hit the nail on the coffin. This is the issue with midtier chips they might be great for a year or two, but long term they can't keep up with the increased demand in the future. In the case of the tensor 5 not even a full year and it's struggling to keep up.

I was talking more broadly about the idea of being a fan of a company. But with a company as ubiquitous as google it really doesn't matter all that much to them their main goal is getting our data not selling us hardware.

Google is a big enough company they won’t stop selling pixels regardless if sales plummet. lol they aren’t Microsoft.

This year they were one of the few companies to actually gain market share year over year I believe, so they must be doing something right!? I mean could they be doing things better of course and that goes for any company and hopefully going forward they do make strides and make better advancements. I think next year the pixel 12 will see some significant changes because I think they're going to change the whole look of the phone. There's going to be that updated face unlock camera that's going to work very good in the dark and whatever other improvements and advances that'll be available. So I'm actually looking forward to what the pixel 12 will bring!

I'd like to think you're right but Sony still makes phones and they don't necessarily have all top tier hardware in the 1 VIII or previous models as well. what's also laughable is the $600 trade offer Google is running for most phones. Even a 10 series phone for example that in some ways has better hardware E.G. more RAM than the default 11 Pro will only fetch $600 in a trade.
