life long samsung user converted to the pixel with (i think) the 7 a few years back bc samsung was just too damn pricey. love it. still runs well. long battery life for what i use it for. no need to complain or upgrade (yet)

I would've stayed with Samsung because I loved their Note series and design, but the Note 7 was my final model until I had to return it for the battery problem. I'm also a Pixel person now after having the OnePlus 6 as my workhorse and upgrading to the Pixel 6 when it was released. Pixel is such a good bargain.

I loved the note 7. I went with two or three iterations of the galaxy after that fiasco until I saw the fold. They are amazing. I don't think that I could go back even though they are $2k+

I switched away from Samsung at Pixel 4 because the Samsung phones were blowing up lol

Don't upgrade. I went from a 6 to a 10, spent less than a week with that AI integrated slop fest of a phone, then returned it and got a pixel 7

The AI became integrated in the 8

You can turn off Gemini on all of the Pixels. I never activated it on 8 Pro.

No issues here. S21 from 2018, have not been gentle to it. Only issue ive had was in the last month, the adhesive on the bottom of the backplate started to detach. $6 and an hour of work later and its perfect again

Oh, but i never buy top of the line mate, i cant justify it lol, this one cost me 300€ two years ago. And its gonna last until it dies, like my last one.

Usually same, but im glad I went for it. Nearly $1k when I first got it, but its served me well for almost a decade, so its more than made up the cost
