Googlebooks are here, featuring high-quality OLED displays that promise full P3 coverage and accurate colors. The reality is currently different, however: the Googlebook operating system only uses the small sRGB color space, and color accuracy also leaves something to be desired.
For good reason - Google’s firmware and quality control are absolute shit. I have a Pixel 10 and there’s hardly a day goes by that I’m not dealing with multiple problems.
Last week I was out of the country with no access to wifi and a very limited roaming data plan. Without notification Google pushed a 1.4GB firmware file on mobile data which used up all my plan’s remaining data.
My BT speakers work fine with older versions of Android, but with the Pixel on Android 16 and 17 one speaker has 2 volume levels, off and 100%, the other speaker blasts at full volume momentarily when playback starts. Plenty of other bugs too.
I’ve always wondered why the Google employees I’ve known have carried Iphones. After purchasing a Pixel I understand.
Like the other person said, you should really switch to another ROM like Graphene or Lineage. (Graphene has a bit of a learning curve for newer users IMO)
The only reason to buy Pixels is GOS.
News pixels starting with 11, even that’s not a plus point. GOS is instead launching a phone in partnership with motorola.
I don’t buy bleeding edge. Motorola is not yet available and so premium it will be dearer than Pixels.
