The iPhone 14 Plus has none of these problems
In short, despite the Pixel line initially showing promise, Google’s last few phones have delivered such a compromised, painful user experience that I would simply not commit myself to them again. With Apple’s iPhones and iOS getting better and better, it’s now harder than ever to see a reason to buy a Pixel.My first Pixel was the Pixel 2 XL – an excellent phone which was a dip in the Google waters for me.
The next phone I purchased was the Pixel 4a 5G, with a later upgrade to the Pixel 5. At no point did I feel any of these Pixels was a bad phone. The only complaint I had was that they lacked some cool things that other Android phones had, like high refresh rates and three or more cameras, but they worked as advertised and for a time, that was enough.
Then came the Pixel 6, widely viewed as Google’s big relaunch of the Pixel line after the relatively modest Pixel 5. In theory, this should have been the best Pixel release yet. For me, it marked the moment when I would buy multiple models of one Pixel, repeating the purchase over and over again in hopes that I missed something. I desperately wanted to stay on Google’s Pixel platform, having fallen in love with the cameras, and with the unique, standout design.
Using the Pixel 6 on Christmas Day in 2021 just days after I bought it, I found the phone spent the day plugged into the wall because of poor battery. Later, software bugs and glitches reared their ugly heads, and eventually its longevity became so bad that it could have doubled as a landline.
