Woke up on Monday and my Pixel 6 Pro wasnt quite fitting in the case while i was checking news while having coffee on the morning. Pushed it in and it didnt seem to fit right. Took the case off to find it had turned itself into a spicy pillow and was splitting along the side. Was 1 month inside warranty, messaged support who told me it was wear and tear initially. I made it quite clear i wasnt accepting that and there wasnt even any way that internal adhesive failing would be wear and tear, never mind battery expansion. They agreed to replace it with a refurb as a goodwill gesture, how very nice of them. I upgraded the same day to a S23 Ultra and have sold the refurb to a reseller.
Man, I had the Nexus One, Nexus 4 and 2 consecutive Nexus 5’s (first one took a swim in the toilet, still worked, just started to lose signal regularly).
Was exceedingly happy with all 3 phones. Especially the 5, which was a 250€ phone with top of the line features (including NFC, 10 years ago!)
The next Nexus was shit and then Google decided to go with the Pixel brand, because people wouldn’t accept Nexus phones to be so goddamn expensive while having far more limited features than the Nexus models used to have.
And I’ve looked at almost all Pixel models since and was not impressed by even a single one of them.
Man, I wish someone would bring out a modern equivalent to the Nexus 5, a phone loaded with every current and on the horizon tech, for 250-300€.
I actually quite liked my Nexus 6P and Google Pixel 2XL. The stereo speakers and fingerprint reader on the 6P were my favorite. I wish I could find another phone with speakers like the 6P had.
The 6P was great, I bricked 6 of them. Still have one one my desk I use a few times a week.
Excellent speakers and build quality.
Besides the boot loop of the LG one, it was better than the Pixel. I feel like with the death of Nexus, Google abandoned its power users to lure the causal iPhone leaning consumers
Totally agree. When Nexus was dropped the switched focus to the casual user.
Then there is the network switching issue thay is still present on PIxels. Switching cell > wifi or the other direction requires a reboot for network. Granted it isn’t as bad as it was a year ago. Still a ridiculous bug thay has been around for years on the pixel
