Pixel 7 owner here. I’m very happy with my phone and will gladly get a new pixel when this one dies.

Likewise. The 7 has been the best phone I’ve ever owned.

My one and only complaint with the 7 pro is the damn finger print reader. I miss the one on the back from my 5 and if you don’t have your thumb RIGHT over the right spot on the screen it’s easy to get blinded by the light if you are in a dark room. Outside that, love the phone.

6 pro here and I say the same. Best phone I’ve had since my s7 active. Everything between that and this was garbage. Well, I did like my lg g8 thinq but it had an unplanned swimming incident. I’m going to get a pixel as my next assuming graphene OS is still able to be loaded.

I’m not happy at all with it, and I miss my P2XL and P4XL everyday because the face unlock and fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 7 is truly dogshit. It pisses me off multiple times a day

Same. Left Oneplus after the 8T (before Oneplus 1, 3 and 6) for a pixel 7. No regret whatsoever.

when this one dies.

Which is a problem for the phone manufacturers… because everyone’s saying that now. Phones all do what we need them to do already, there are no new killer features.

Pixel 6 owner here, I’m probably sticking with pixels forever and will flash them with real Linux when that’s more developed, probably like 10 years away

I just got a 3a XL explicitly for flashing Mobian on it… It’s extremely rough still, but hey, at least it seems to be relatively stable now.

Hopefully the work Purism puts into Phosh and the GNOME ecosystem pays off.

I got burned on a pixel device and I’ll never go back. In my case the phone was fine but Google botched an update and it took a year to really sort out. I stopped using the phone after two months of near unusable phone functions like answering a call. Much later I tried it again and it worked fine.

So they might do updates for a while but are they shit updates?

Why?

Because the phone is a giant spyware device and Google isn’t trustworthy.

I’m curious what phone you’re planning to get that isn’t a giant spyware device?

I love my p6pro and agree with the second sentiment. I also just think literally every company is spying on me at all times and I’d drive myself mad trying to stop them so why not just lean into it 🤷‍♀️ at least I have good qol in the meantime

I’ve had a 2XL and a 4a. Both have been great. I’m debating whether to hold out for an 8 or save a few bucks like I did with the 4a and get a used 7 or something.
