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.

It would take something truly revolutionary to move me away from the Pixel. I had the original Pixel and after that went through a couple different non-Pixel phones and the whole time I hated the experience. Google's extra features that you get with Pixels have become essential to me.

I've had the Pixel 5 for almost 3 years now, I just replaced the battery in it and I plan on keeping this phone for at least another couple years. It has everything I need on the hardware front, and is still getting new features and updates.

Edit: a word

I'm typing this on a Pixel 3, I don't even remember how many years I've had it now. I'm nearing readiness for an upgrade and looking at the 6 or 7

The pixel 7 won Marquis Brownlee's Smartphone Awards 2022. It convinced me to upgrade, and I definitely don't regret it.

The glass back is a bit of a con though, Mine got broken. Well time to buy a new one!

The 7a doesn't have a glass back, you could see this as a pro 😁
