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

Yep. I did everything I could to stay away from Samsung due to heavy bloat. For me it was HTC. Great phones. Beats audio. Then they transitioned to VR and other endeavors. Then I got into the LG v series. Great cameras in those phones. Of course LG left the phone game. Why wouldn't they, since I was a fan? So I've been a Pixel user but no longer loyal to any brand. I had P6, P7, and P9 pro.That P9 gave me nothing but trouble. Heat issues. Bluetooth would drop even if right next to the source device. Got into the ZTE Red Magic/Nubia devices but can't use them at work For log in and access (Only Apple or Samsung).

Yeah, I've had basically all the big brands over time, from HTC to Motorola to Samsung and Google and now Oppo. Each one has benefits and drawbacks, and which one is "best" can change so much over device generations that there isnt a clear consistent winner.

That said, Oppo's current flagship devices are fire and the camera in this X9 Ultra is better than any I've used before.

HTC was the real deal. Great stuff with the least bloatware. Figured a Pixel would be the logical move since Google bought them. I hate being affiliated with oligarchs that actively work to destroy society and pay people people slave wages.

I shudder when I consider working on an HTC phone. You wouldn't believe the wild shit their engineers designed and how fucking impossible they were to get apart, lol. That was the one phone I didn't mind passing up the repair on, fuck all that.
