Could have done better

Posted: Jul 21, 2024, 3:18 PM

Phone owned for more than a year

-OS support is not more than 4 years which should have extended.
-Phone doesn't feel to be made with aluminum.
-Camera hardware is par but software optimization makes it better.
-Screen quality is fine.
-Speakers are just fine but not as flag ship should have.
-Battery is good.
-Finger print doesnot recognize some times.
(Overall a decent package with lesser highlights)

Small but great

Phone owned for less than a month

This is my first Pixel phone, and although this is already 3 years old, the phone still works great. I had installed the latest Android 14 beta and so far my phone works well. The camera is superb and the simplicity of the OS makes this device worth keeping.

Phone owned for less than a year

Pre-ordered mine at a great price, great screen, and of course fantastic cameras (especially the ultrawide) definite upgrade from my Pixel 2, avid Pixel fan. I love taking photos on my Pixel, they turn out fantastically, reviewers are getting more critical and more nitpicky, however for £599 its a steal.
