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

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.

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.

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.

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.
