Here’s a list of phones I used; Anyway, go buy the new Pixel 9.

That is for ambassador influencers like YouTubers and Instagramers and not the press.

If you don’t mind Googles extreamly bad AI and also their subscription plans to suck you dry… Sure.

And then the ugly camera bump on these phones… Ouch.

For me, it’s the oneplus phones that are the saving grace in a mess of bad phones.

Best looking design is probably the Honor 6 but the Chinese software design is awful and very convoluted.

I absolutely agree that the camera bump is ugly as fuck but a case probably hides it very well like it does on my 6A

Thick cases hide it, silicone cases don’t

Is it that much bigger? Damn.

I have a fairly (IMO) slim case on my 6A and it is still well above the camera bump and the screen.

But the camera bump on the 6A is only 1 mm thick.

I had a 2XL that I absolutely loved. It eventually got screen burn in so bad I could barely use it.

But I held on to it till the 6 came out, and I’m still rocking a fantastic 6 pro. Love it. Have zero interest in paying twice as much for the 9 though.

The Pixels are probably the best high-end phone, but today the selection available is all bad enough that your choice comes down to “what features can I lose?”

Even the likes of OnePlus have been shit for years. A company that literally entered the market on releasing an affordable flagship with near-stock software. Their last great phone was the OnePlus 6, before they decided to start ditching features.

I had assumed that more companies would enter the market and take over, but that hasn’t happened. You still end up with no choice, whether it’s a poor screen, an awful camera, no storage, removed ports/jacks, no NFC support, or stupid little features that no one would actually give a shit about.

The strength of early Android was that you had flagship phones that had the best new features, and experimental releases that tried new things on a budget like barcode scanners, slide-out keyboards, a desktop OS, remote features, etc. This still exists, but you’re paying even more for the pleasure of testing something in the wild.

IMO, the world could use a new mobile OS, and one grounded in reality.

The Pixels are probably the best high-end phone

I think it depends on what you are looking for in a high-end phone, as Google’s Tensor chips are not equivalent performers to the chips found in other smartphones at that price range. Consumers are being asked to pay a high-end price for the performance of a high-end phone from several years ago or an upper mid-range phone today.

I have a pixel 7. I hate the fucking thing.

Why?

If you are gonna comment something like that (you know the opposite of a what everyone else seems to think) it’s a completely useless comment unless you actually say why.

It is slow. Constantly bogs down. Won’t open apps at will. The keyboard sticks open often and comes up when isn’t requested. Maps often won’t search. Lots of reasons it sucks big fat balls.
