why I love the Google pixel (self.googlepixel)

Three months since using the pixel 6a. I got it because it was the cheapest flagship quality phone I could get. Software wise. Though the camera is good as well.

I find the voice typing real smooth. I also found good use of the recorder app while watching video lectures.

Over all, not a single bug or problem while using it and it runs smooth, without bloatware.

I had a galaxy s9 before this and was daily driving it with the pixel AOSP.

The moment I moved to pixel AOSP on it, I know this is the thing. So I got a one month old Pixel 6a for like 200 USD in the market and didn't think for another second.

This is the closest experience to windows phone I had.

This is just a beginner's post as I get into lemmy.

Lol fair enough there are some absolutely beautiful phones these days (I love the newer pixel design with the cameras horizontally along the aluminum back bezel), but I am a practical person and I prefer longevity over aesthetics. I'm a #buyitforlife type person which is probably why I'm still happy with my old phone - it's not in perfect shape with a shattered glass back panel hidden behind a UAG case, but the phone just keeps chugging along so I can't justify buying a new one (aside from the fact that the camera is feeling a bit dated these days and I could use a mildly better one for my business needs)

To each is own if you're willing to take that risk, more power to ya!
