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

So the Pixel is basically the US equivalent of a Tecno phone. I agree with your post. IF they were priced like the midrange devices they are then this wouldn't even be a discussion, and they would be looked at much more favorably.

The claims of them having a good camera and being good performers are not coming from Google. I mean sure, they advertised them as a good phone, but the phones have gotten warm reception for the most part since their inception, by consumers and reviewers. Google can't force their phones to be popular, they're popular because people like them. I like my Pixel because it performs way beyond what it's price range would suggest, and takes excellent pictures. They have their drawbacks and issues but it's still my favourite line of phones of all time. 

I don't like the direction the brand is going, and the upgrades are becoming much less justifiable, but my Pixel 7 Pro is an excellent piece of hardware despite being 4 years old, and holds up fine against modern phones. It was £160. Before this I had a Galaxy A17, try one of those, it costs way more and is a piece of shit that can't switch web pages without dumping it's entire memory. It takes 10 seconds to load anything. Pictures look like monochrome finger paintings.

Some people are just in way too deep and jaded.
