Not like they have made anything with innovative with pixel anyways, other their obsession with using AI
…good.
The reason people use Pixels has always been utility. The Ai garbage was like putting jelly on a biscuit.
I don’t mind the jelly, personally, but I came for the biscuit, and its still there.
You can still root them, still unlock them, still use custom Roms, kernels, operating systems in some cases. They’re still what they’ve always been.
people used pixels and nexus phones largely because the other oems were terrible at the time and riddled with carrier bloatware but that’s not really the case anymore. especially once samsung did away with touchwiz and went to the modern oneui.
Samsung still is terrible. You can’t disable their store or utilities. They always pop right back up and start themselves. One might argue that’s hardly a problem when phones have 6GB+ of Ram now and better battery optimization, but on budget phones that some people get “free” from carriers, it makes them lag-ridden slogs to use.
Correction:
Other than their obsession with using ai to surveillance & use that to control everyone in different ways
remember that android core app, that used to spy on people. nothing very useful.
Their cameras and image processing tech were innovative at the beginning right? They were beating out most other phone manufacturers until they caught up. Also their folding phones seemed pretty innovative in regards to their form factor. Idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
pixel has better camera than some other androids, but thats about it. theres very little difference between androids relatively speaking.
Not true security wise. Only stock. Graphene can run on Pixels only.
Isnt that like all phone makers recently?
