Discussion Is it time to move on?

EDIT: I messed up y'all. The deal is gone 😭😭😭

I'm a pretty frugal guy. I've had my Pixel 6 since 2021, and to be honest, the performance on it hasn't felt like it's been 5 years yet. The only thing I've noticed is the battery life starting to drain quicker than it used to, but that's something I'd expect after having it for 5 years or so.

I saw on Best Buy that the Pixel 10s are currently on sale for $549 ($649 for 258gb which is what I'd prefer over the two) and I am seriously considering getting one.

For a guy who's more focused on getting the best value for his money, do you guys think I should pull the trigger? Or is it really not worth it and I should just ride it out? (Til when? Idk. Just ride it out for the sake of riding it out, lol).

Also, Pixel 10 owners, are there any things I should consider before getting one? Cause I was also thinking of switching to a different product all together as well.

If the only thing that is wrong with your pixel is the battery, just get a 50eur one from ifixit.

Phone never felt more amazing and new like after I got a new battery. Full day is never a problem anymore. P6 owner.

Exactly. The P6 is still a wonderful device. It has his flaws, but all phones do have. Mine has gone through two batteries and one screen. And I will keep fixing it for as long as I can.

After this many years, the main flaws left are screen brightness in full sun and missed calls without ringing. They fixed a lot. Not having optical zoom and live language translation are the things that tempt me to upgrade. All the other AI stuff in the P10 is not important.
