I've been on Pixel for a while. Most of my family have now converted.

I've had several. Including going back to the "nexus" line.

It's great if you want an unlbloated android phone.

I don't think the hardware is as good as Samsung generally.

Let me guess. You pay double the price for a phone that does 99% of the exact same thing?

I had the 1st one, the Pixel. I was glad when I got in the pool with it, that gave me an excuse to get something that worked.

Pixel 6a.
Was great until the mandatory battery software update this summer.

Yes, but the guy I know that has one also works for Google.

On my 3rd Pixel. Wish they'd bring back the fingerprint scanner on the back cover like the older models had.

I still use a pixel 5 even though it's way out of date. Absolutely love it.
I can wirelessly charge other phones with it.
Camera is fantastic.
Google photos as a program absolutely annihilates whatever crap Apple uses. The search feature has been superb for years now.
Since it's like 4 years old, the battery is starting to wane, but it's still awesome.

My only gripe is they aren't doing free Google photos storage after the 5 anymore.

Pixel 8 I think? Been on Pixel line for probably 7-8 years I'd say. Never had an iPhone

I had the Pixel 2. It was the best phone I ever had. I went back to iPhone on my last phone and hated iOS for the first couple months. But it is a really fine machine. They are both good phones.

This is the way.

Pixel 10 currently. Been here since Nexus. No plans to switch. Streamlined Android OS with the best post imaging camera on the market. Magic eraser and the Best Take face swap features have been game changers. Also converted my wife who's always used iPhones since she kept asking to take pictures with my phone.

Usually the Pixel A models are my go-to but needed to upgrade and they had good trade in offers.

I had the Pixel 2. Loved it’s functionality, but the battery life was bad and after three years it started getting very glitchy, so I had to junk it.
