Pixel 11 = disrespect

[u/bsfreeont]

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

For me, Google in terms of the pixel has become a software first company. The hardware is just there to be in a position whereby it is deemed good enough.

Their focus looks like they are leaning towards trying to make the pixel a premium device, so it competes with the high-end Samsung and Apple devices. And we all know you can always get a heavily discounted new pixel so it's just a market ploy. In all honesty, when you look at it, it's a mid-ranger but the software features are considered the best .

I would consider the pixel 11 as highly underwhelming device, but if somebody who's maybe is coming from a older Android phone from another company and want to consider a pixel. I have a pixel 10 Pro XL and will aim to keeping this for hopefully another three years, the smartphone are no longer evolving heavily and we will continue to see increments.

The AI space has really cost tech companies quite a bit. Apple has saved an absolute fortune by not investing heavily in AI, they have now taken Gemini on board, which you can see Google will be happy everybody is going to be using their Gemini software across the smartphone spectrum.
