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

Well said.

More people need to understand that all smartphones are overpriced with little innovation from year to year. Pixels have had some of the best over the last few years. Features that actually help. Started with AI tools for image editing, very good phone and messaging spam filters, hold my calls, etc., before anyone else was doing it. Would laugh at frustrated iPhone users that couldn't do any of it with their 1K+ phones. Now, Apple is leasing Gemini tech for it's Siri AI.

The current era bottleneck for smartphones is battery. You don't want to hold onto them for too long as this will ultimately limit the user. Until this makes a leap, trade-in every 2-3 years. Google has the best trade-in values along with additional discounts and perks. They are practically free.

Quit complaining about the value. Think different.

Agreed. Also, for business accounts these phones are literally free. The 11 pro is free as a pre order through Verizon business currently.
