The Pixel is like any other Google product, half-assed and supported only when they feel like it. My Pixel 6 was vulnerable to an attack needing no user input because Google waited a week past the disclosure deadline to put a patch out from a vulnerability their own security group originally found. The phone also maybe couldn’t have called 911 for a few weeks. The phone looking dated and having a slow as hell finger print sensor are on me, but the former are Google being shitty.
Yeah I thought really hard about getting a Pixel 6a as my next phone (on a budget), but the specs aren't that great for the price, plus all the bugs I keep reading about are turning me away from Pixels in general.
I bought an iPhone a few weeks before the Pixel I have for work and at this point two years later the iPhone feels brand new and the Pixel feels old. Idk why but the os feels sluggish, I have more frequent app crashes and worse cellular service despite being on the same carrier for both, although that could be AT&T 5G which the pixel has but my iPhone plan doesn’t not.
