Yet everyone I know that owned a pixel despises it.
(I've had various android phones going back to the T-Mobile G1).
Pixel 6s were on sale and I got one of those, no regrets. I am not enthusiastic about Google as a company, and I may consider an iPhone for my next cell, but I've been satisfied with the Pixel line so far.
Yeah yeah, why did I keep buying them? I have no idea. I guess I assumed the rest of Android phones sucked more.
