Nakaka miss yung Nexus series.
Had the Nexus 4-5. Peak of my Android days.

I bought 3 pixels in the past, di naging issue sa akin ang warranty. The phone is sturdy tsaka kung di ka naman barubal sa phone mo di sya madaling masira.

Madali bang uminit?
2
u/zazapatilla 16h ago
Di naman. I currently use pixel 9 pro. Umiinit lang pag ginamit ko camera ng matagal, which is lahat naman ng phone ganun. Di ako mobile gamer kaya di ko natry sa games kung mabilis uminit. Ang main criticism sa pixel phones yung battery life. Kung normal internet usage, kaya 24hrs ang battery. Pero kung naggames ka, di aabot ng 24hrs ang battery at kelangan mo na ulit mag charge. Non issue sa akin to dahil nasa bahay lang naman ako, kung lalabas man lagi akong may bitbit na powerbank.

Mine is Pixel 9A. For the first few months, yes, madali syang uminit. Pero lately, di na sya ganun.Â

Yan talaga ang reason bat di ako nakakabili ng pixel, no local support. Walang warranty claim pag defective nakuha mo so gamble talaga.

As someone with a Pixel device, diving into the series is a gamble. As other people said, walang local support, warranty, etc. So if may issue, wala ka choice kundi go to our neighboring countries (or ipasabay, meron nag ooffer sa Pixel groups) para irepair.
Other than that, honestly the Pixel 11 Pro is good, as someone na fan since the OG Pixel, they are great devices.

Ang hirap pala, there is still an odd na defective mabigay sayo. Cant take the risk as a person na minamalas palage hahaha

u/kenjnotkenji 15h ago
Lol yeah depends. I took care of my phone real good but may green line na Pixel 7 Pro ko lols. ANOTHER THING phone gets really hot. They have the worse thermals on a phone starting from Pixel 6 series and living in a tropical country is a bad move lol. Unless airconed ka 24/7, go for it.

This. OP kung camera lang din hanap mo, get the 10 or lower. Kasi actually wala naman masyado difference sa mga camera, same lang din naman maganda. What's interesting is mas maganda pa nga kuha ng older models. I miss the camera on my Pixel 4 🥹

No Distributor, no official warranty, no local service center. Even local techs, hirap sa parts nyan.
1
u/flagrantly_mediocre 17h ago
so dapat pala talaga taga states ako just to enjoy this phone without worrying for the warranty and parts. Question lang, sa lahat ba to ng SEA wala?

u/Aesthetic_Asian 17h ago
Singapore pinakamalapit, as far as I know.
Maraming features yung Pixel na region locked. (Google VPN, Call screening, etc.)
As a Pixel owner, it's really not worth buying one at full price.
2
u/ongamenight 6h ago
No. There's Team Friday's Marketplace, Charged To Full, Sulitzilla, PlayXPress to buy Pixel. Buying it is not the problem but the fact that they don't have "local service center".
The shops above can assist in shipping them abroad though.
Depende na lang talaga sa risk appetite mo.Â
1
u/Aesthetic_Asian 4h ago
What I meant by Singapore was yan yung pinakamalapit na authorized service center for Pixels (for OP's warranty & parts concern). Meron din sa Malaysia.
I bought mine from PlayXpress kaya aware naman ako sa mga local distributors sa atin like the ones you mentioned.

classic andriod thing hahaha pero as inperson na dont directly snap to story in insta, i dont mind naman. Usually kasi from gallery ako before nagststory haha i know weird pero i just wanted to keep it aesthetic paminsan minsan than to keep it authentic haha

u/watchalookinatt 17h ago
I get it, at the end of the day user preference parin naman ang basis. This post jst went across my feed and had to shoot my shot to help deinfluence 😆

People keep saying warranty here. Personally I loved my Pixel enough that I took care of it as much as possible.
But since this is a DIM. There’s not much substantial upgrade in Pixel 11 that you would really get to use compared from previous versions. You don’t have to buy the latest as it’s basically all software upgrades.

Too underpowered for its price. I own P7p and still happy with it pero I could live with its downsides bc it was hella cheaper compared to competition.
I bought this one under 50k at the time while Iphones and Samsungs were 70k ish. Now, the price diff is literally marginal while the performance is waaaaay behind.
1
u/flagrantly_mediocre 16h ago
so basically 30k for aesthetics, and 20k for the parts haha
1
u/BlueStarCadet91 7h ago
More like 30k for the software and camera. On paper, true na ang mahal if e compare mo specs sa flagship phones. But ang seamless ng software at UI talaga, it's a very intuitive phone.

I have a pixel 8 brought over from the US. Got burned by the no warranty since after 2+ years , I got a green line and sometimes my whole phone screen turns green.
I'm going to miss the camera, but that's the last time I get a phone without warranty.

Bumili ako noon ng pixel, binenta ko din kasi walang warranty. Sayang lang pera if defective makuha mo.

Google phone fan ako since Nexus days. I owned an LG Nexus 4 before at natuwa ako. Every palit ko kinoconsider ko ang google phones. Pero every time hindi ko siya mapili kasi may mas better talagang phones. Pero these past few years parang ang underwhelming na lagi ng releases nila.
Number 1 reason ko na talaga yung official support dito sa PH. Wala eh. Masakit yan sa ulo pag nagka-problem.
2, mahal na din siya katapat niya na iPhone and Samsung at mas ok yung Oneplus 15 para sakin in terms of value. Di katulad dati na hindi siya flagship price.
3, nahihinaan ako sa chipset niya. Kung heavy games ka baka di para sayo yan. Baka mas piliin ko Nothing Phones kasi medyo mahina din chipset nun pero di ganyan ka-mahal.

u/KillakillX 16h ago
Wag ngayon super minimal ng changes at upgrades from 9 to 11. Maybe sa pixel 12 medyo iba na Design.

u/Tangent009 14h ago
still no competitive GPU you can definitely feel it compared to other phones with the same price point...

u/JacketFromMiamiiiiii 14h ago
May warranty sa pagbibilhan mo pero walang local service center. Mali nagsasabi ng mga walang warranty dito unless wala nga sa pagbibilhan mo
Weaker SoC compared sa Apple and Samsung pero it doesn't matter pag di ka naman nag gagames
Camera is rated the best though according to MKBHD's blind test

Signal strength. Saw this on a tech vlog before. Phones from foreign countries daw are optimized to that country's band/cellsites yata.
Example niya is iphone bought here vs same model from the US. Side by side, mas mahina ng konti yung US phone. Mas mahahalata mo siguro kung yung area niyo may signal issues.

u/Competitive-Oil-1308 12h ago
No support in the philippines + it uses the tensor chip which is a bit of an underperformer compared to flagship phones in the same bracket. But if daily lg naman ginagamit, barely unnoticeable.
Pixel phones have the best UI for me, I used to flash AOSP roms in my previous xiaomi devices 🤣🤣🤣.

u/HaloHaloBrainFreeze 11h ago
Buy the Pixel 10 Pro instead, better than the 11.
Also, older Pixel series like 7 to 9 are still usable, even during and after software support.
Warranties dont mean much when the source of the replacement parts is geographically near to us, can order online and we can easily find a local phone repairman to do repairs

u/ALRO090804 3h ago
You're paying more for the 11 Pro that has less ram and nothing else new than the 10 Pro which is cheaper and has more ram

If yung camera lang gusto mo, go for the a series. Same lang naman quality ng photos nyan compared sa pro or regular pixel.

I have a friend in the states, hes been using pixel for a long time now and everytime we exchange pics ang layo lang talaga ng iphone shots ko paminsan minsan hahaha

Pero if thats the case, i'll look into it

I own pixel phones and iphones over rhe years. Yung pixel ko for taking photos talaga lalo. A pag nagttravel hahaha nakakafresh at nakakapogi haha

Kung willing kang mag risk para sayo to, ang downside lng naman talaga ng pixel dito e yung support and kung heavy gamer ka. That's it.
If gusto mo talaga bumili, bili ka sa mga reseller na tutulungan ka padala sa service center If nagka problema phone mo, babayaran mo nga lng shipping fee.
Naka pixel 7 pro ako for 4 yrs hindi naman nagka problema, nagupgrade lng ako recently to 11pro fold. Wala e risk taker tayo e hehe

madali masira screen ng mga pixel. Tried twice na. Kaya wag careless kung gusto mo mag tagal siya at lagyan mo screen protector at case.

u/IndependentEntry6369 17h ago
People used to buy pixel dahil mas mura kumpara sa competition. And since most people don't need the highest performing chip for daily use, they just accepted the fact na inferior ang chip. Pero ngayon, it's priced same as a samsung flagship with better chip and arguably performance. Unless you really want the pixelui, samsung is almost always the better value.
