    This post reads a little like

    C O N S U M E O N S U M E

    The one thing the pixels really have going for themselves is that the user can degoogle them and slap grapheneos on it. Literally the only reason I bought a pixel, everything else about it is very much average.

        I’d still recommend a pixel if you care about your security and privacy, but the phone definitely isnt somehow extraordinary. Good quality (at least mine is), the expected specs for a modern phone, no complaints.

        Just that it is, well, a normal smartphone otherwise. Unless you want to put a custom OS on it you won’t find it very different from any other smartphone.

          I actually need a separate phone just for business purposes, like messaging, emails, calls. A few productivity apps.

          I like the long support window of pixels as I won’t have to replace the phone as frequently.

          I really love the idea of the dex mode of the galaxy phones. I wish I could dock the pixel and use it as my main work device. It’s the only reason I’m not 100% sold on a pixel as my next device.
