Looks like Google falls further behind as they fail to properly design and update newer iterations of Pixel phones. Rather than have a superior TSMC chip within the next 13 months, which would have a higher quality manufacturing process and significantly reduce power consumption, it looks like it’ll be closer to 25 months if we’re lucky.

    That’s why as a P6P user, this is my last pixel for a while.

    Have my eye on the One Plus phone that’s coming out early 24’ for now.

    I don’t have faith in Google to keep the spyware bloat down, battery consumption down, overheating down, or add a higher quality display for outdoor use.

    At this point the Pixel is 2 years behind the competition.

      Dude I have less faith in OnePlus. If anything I think the Zenfone, Xperia, or even Nothing are better companies to check out. That being said, I may just hold on to my P6 until the 10.

          The original owners have since sold off the company to BBK Electronics in China and now China manufactures them. Now they sometimes share designs with other Chinese phones like Oppo, but more importantly OxygenOS has changed from a mostly stock Android rom to basically the US version of the Chinese ColorOS. So not only has the hardware been copied and pasted, but so has the hardware and people just don’t trust that.

          Now the old CEO of OnePlus ended up ditching the company to form his own startup Nothing. There currently exists the Nothing Phone 1 and 2 and I’ve kinda been eyeing them in case they make a super interesting product one year.
