/g/ — Does anyone actually buy Pixel phones? If you’ve bought a Pi

>>109029167 (OP)
I bought a pixel 7 and the recent update ballooned the battery and I feel like an idiot because I can't get it repaired in Poojeetland

>>109029167 (OP)
doesnt it support running normal linux desktop environments with gpu acceleration out of the box? where on most phones its complicated and requires root and setup

>>109029167 (OP)
I recently bought a 10A. The battery life is crazy. I flashed graphene on it immediately. It's a clean OS with no bloat. It's also not a huge fund which I appreciate. Overall a good purchase.

>>109029167 (OP)
Yeah first Android phone that feels like competition to iPhones, everything else is for spec jeets.
Almost 2 years of pixel, from 9PXL to 10PXL.
I got the full buds + watch + phone + tv, don't miss anything from Apple, I like it better acktchually.

>>109029167 (OP)
Pixels are e-waste.

>>109029286
>Poojeetland
Canada?

>>109029167 (OP)
If you bought a pixel for GrapheneOS you're doubly retarded

I was going to. I needed an upgrade from my galaxy 22. But at the price point it seemed to have a less powerful set of internals compared to the galaxy 25 ultra. I also am concerned with both phones trying to lock down side loading apps. And I feel like google directly owning the play store would do so first. I do feel a bit trapped in Samsungs ecosystem with the relative ease of upgrading.

phones are awful. even if you escape to grapheneos more and more apps and features won't work as we fall deeper into the locked down remote attestation hellworld.

>I also am concerned with both phones trying to lock down side loading apps
this is my concern as well, even though I want to use graphene. Also, Google has taken very specific measures to cripple AOSP and make developing Graphene a nightmare. It's a shame that linux phones are still in alpha

>>109030303
The OG Poojeetland, India, yes I'm a jeet

>>109030320
>more and more apps and features won't work as we fall deeper into the locked down remote attestation hellworld
I wonder if I should get rid of my Pixel 6. GOS has no future.

>>109030325
Buy an ad, retard.

>>109030312
Not clicking your link - works perfectly for me. Learn what an anecdote is.

>>109030360
GrapheneOS is free and open source, just like your mom.

A couple years ago I bought a 4a for DivestOS (RIP) and the piece of shit stopped turning on within like a month and gets hot when plugged in.

>>109030312
what are these comments, did they bot this shit

>>109030340
It's not that Linux phones are still in alpha. It's that you can't convince all the developers of all the open source applications to make them mobile friendly. The market for Linux phones is so small and it's a niche within a niche that the effort would be largely wasted.

>>109030317
With Samsung you can't even use a custom rom because of their proprietary IMS

>>109030265
>It's also not a huge fund which I appreciate
what

>>109030409
I think Ranjeet meant phone.

>>109029167 (OP)
This. GrapheneOS is the only reason to buy a Pixel.
If you're a retarded sheepbrained normal cattle NPC who doesn't care about giving every minute detail about their lives to big tech, there are much better options than a Pixel. Options with better cameras, better processors, more ram, better screens.

Privacy chads are willing to sacrifice for the benefit of keeping big tech from looking over their shoulders.

>>109030409
Phone. I use voice to text because in disabled. Apologies.

>>109030446
I'm* oof.

>>109030317
>I needed an upgrade from my galaxy 22
What a stupid thing to say. No you didn't. You just wanted to consume.

>>109029286
I'm surprised there's no cellphone repair shops in Pakistan

>>109030446
Downs Syndrome is not considered a disability anymore, that's offensive

>>109030562
Ok

>>109029167 (OP)
The fact Google Pixels(tm) generate so much seethe in here is a sign of quality.
/g/ hates tech that just werks.

>>109030608
it doesnt just werk tho

>>109029167 (OP)
Imagine buying a phone with a lot of third party bloat, barely any hardware security and always behind on security patches and major android version. Pixels are great, even on stock.

>>109030345
how's life in your part of og jeetland?

>>109030637
werks for me

>>109030298
sorry I meant iPhones, stoopid autocorrect.

Unfortunately I was an early adopter of the 6 Pro. Everything about it was great, except the battery life was complete dogshit. I think I only ever got 5-6.5hr SOT out of it, maybe 7.5hr on a good day. That's what I get for being an early adopter but I'll probably never go back to Pixel unless they completely swap Tensor for something else (they won't).

>>109030672
the moment they drop tensor some so snapjeet i'm out, i don't want none o dat jittery shit

>>109030672
Battery is dogshit even on my Pixel 10 Pro XL.

>>109030699
How bad?

>>109030847
5200 mAh battery and I still have to charge it daily like my older phones.

>>109030855
I'm asking about SoT

>>109030652
Well, Google won't take in my device for a mail-in repair because swollen batteries are scary to ship, and the authorised repair centre is in another city and the support specialist basically said sucks for you, AND no repair shop in my city has the OEM battery

Only bought it for GrapheneOS. The hardware is shit

>>109029286
Move to one of the colonies like Canada or UK bro. They have everything here.

>>109030476
I got the phone used, it didn't have much ram, the side button was sticking it was overheating. And it didn't have enough ram so background apps wouldn't run. I only update every few years when I need to. From 10+ to the 22 and now the 25. But yeah sure.

Atrocious battery life if you're not connected to wifi. Tensor is shit

>Uses Tenshit SoC, which is based on Eshitnos
Lmao no thanks, I will never buy them as long as they keep using this PoS. Fucking Google had the audacity to price their phone in the same league of Apple and Samsung when they are basically 2-3 generations behind.

>>109030637
Except it does. Better than your shitty iToy, Apple Shill

>>109031539
Works on my phone

>>109029167 (OP)
is this another jeet thread? bcuz jeets are obsessed with cellphones

>>109031625
I'm working on vibe coding a video game called Yeet the Jeet. It's going to be so based.

>>109031636
Did you use your own mugshot for the graphics

>>109030855
Imagine buying a pixel to run stock AOSP from Google. Fucking retard

>>109030438
Yup. jeets can't process this and this thread is full of them.

>>109031656
I'm the based white man protag who has to fight his way through an army of jeets to save the hot white woman.

>>109031670
Yeah lol. Or running any software for that matter on hardware owned by Google. Complete retardation.

>>109031699
techlet retard detected

>>109031687
I'm a jeet and I bought it because I was spoiled by Motorola's early clean android experience and was I exhausted by chink UIs, I considered samsung for while but there's just something about the UI that didn't feel right, it was too much, but now that Google has officially told me to fuck off I'll probably go for Ishitphone or Samdung and bear with the ecosystem
