I'm a diehard Pixel user, but I'm considering a change for two reasons (and I'm not alone)


With the Pixel 9 release on the horizon, I'm wondering if it's time for me to switch to a different brand. Here's why.

The company has so deeply entwined the Pixel devices with AI that I don't believe there's any chance of returning, and I can only imagine how this will evolve. If history is any indicator, however, those renderings might be a distraction, and the final results might end up being just another minor evolution of what Google has been producing. Inconsistent call quality Rising costs Terrible marketing Even worse support Lag/stutters with scrolling Display issues Unreliable Google Pay Lack of third-party accessories
