> Every time a new Pixel phone comes out, we make a whole article summarizing all the problems people have with them. We don’t do this for any other manufacturer. Google has proven over the years that its phones simply have way more issues than others.

As an Android user, I simply can't touch Google's phones no more. In the last few generations, they just haven't proven themselves to be a good and consistent HW manufacturer with a focus on delivering end-user-qulity, reliability and service.
Heck, even their SW is going down the drain. The number of bugs users encounter in Google's updates they push to the pixels seem to be infuriating.
Yeah, feature wise they're great with photography and AI and all that, but how much is that worth when the phone has premium prices but cell reception quality sucks because the modem is shit, battery life also is shit because of that, and SW is hit or mis buggy, HW quality and reliability is all over the place, etc.
The best phones ever release by Google were in the days they had external partners like HTC, LG build it for them (Nexus 5, etc). Present day Google as a company just doesn't have the same level of focus and amount of fucks given on making quality phones or any other product that's snot search/ads for that matter.
All in all, you can see why so many Android users got fed up and moved to iOS over time.

That article is from 2020. In my opinion, Pixel is the crown jewel of Android.
Just like how car manufacturers don't make speakers but get B&W or Bose, if those speakers are at fault, do we send the car to Bose/B&W or to the car dealership/repair centre?
