I think I’m switching away from Pixel for my next phone. I’ve hated my Pixel 6; it’s too big.
I’m probably going to the Asus Zenfone 10 next.
I found my Nexus 5 yesterday, it was so small and sooo light, felt so nice in the hand.
I also have a Pixel 6 and love it, but it’s heavy and so slippery without a case.
I’m a software nerd, my biggest priority is keeping Android up-to-date on security and features, so it really seems like Samsung would be the best fallback option with a proven track record of getting security updates out as quick (or quicker) than Google and typically promising 4 years of OS upgrades/5 years of security patches (here’s an article with many phone manufacturers policies). I’d really miss the stock Android experience and unlockable bootloader though!
Yeah, same.
I’ve moved from Samsung to Pixel and I think I actually prefer oneui for some of the software features. I had to disable a few things on Samsung and I don’t like the secondary store being necessary for some updates, or the parallel Samsung version of a bunch of apps. Or having to be careful to avoid installing a bunch of bloat. That being said, once carefully set up, a Samsung phone is smooth, battery was excellent in my experience, great performance, hardware strong. I think if Pixels had Snapdragon based processors over modified Exynos, and a bump in battery they’d be considerably stronger.
I’m probably the most unloyal customer here. I bought the phone *for the OS*, not the opposite.
So probably anything that GrapheneOS supports
I wish I could buy a Linux phone, but they are not ready yet.
The new Razr seems cool to me, not sure I’d actually hold onto it but the concept of being able to flip it into a square and tuck it away is awesome. Can’t do Samsung phones because of OneUI though!
