After having the XL versions of Pixels before this one, the size isn't so bad. Its usable in one hand and I've been really liking the flat edges/screen.
The battery is almost the same as my 6 Pro toward the end of its life.
The display resolution looks really good in person. I really appreciate the brighter screen so that more than makes up for the lack of sharpness compared to the 6 Pro.
Cameras are great as usual for these phones. I didn't realize how many features they added on to Pixels since the 6 line.
The AI features are gimmicky and I'll just leave it at that.
A solid 8/10 phone for me. Definitely feels like an upgrade even for a base model.
How's everyone liking/disliking theirs?
I have a Pixel 6 Pro too and was considering upgrading.
The forced ai integration is a huge turn off for me though and I am considering using this to finally make the leap to graphene.
You wouldn't happen to be considering that as well, would you?
I thought really hard about it and decided against it. I'm currently not having any issues and am still getting security updates. It is hard to justify $1k for roughly the same experience.
I was looking into giving GrapheneOS a go. I will likely give the phone a go for a month or so and install.
When you do switch, I'd love to hear about your take on stock vs GrapheneOS, especially as it pertains to the camera and battery life!
