🙄 Clearly these asinine writers have never touched let alone heard of the Nexus phones.

Save yourself the embarrassment and do some research next time.

The strategy may be slow from Google with Pixels, but they improving every year. Here in Sweden I have saw many Pixels outside in the wild the recent year, like in buses or restaurants. Good retail presence and in all phone carriers to.

In India they now got a third party repair store certified by Google that cover most of the country if you want to change the battery etc..

Important details if a brand will have a long term growth.

If you want the true Android experience, get a Samsung; there's little doubt that Google is always bringing OneUI features to the Pixel, so why not just get the real thing?

As for beta testers, yes, they're beta testers for an advertising data collection company. That is the sole purpose of Pixel hardware: to track you physically and virtually so your data can be sold to advertising brokers, and used to train AI models whether you like it or not.

Beta testers? more like pre-alpha testers

I can only speak from my Pixel experience. Here it is - My Pixel 8a has been fantastic for the almost 2 years I've had it. I have experienced no glitches and nothing to me feels like I'm a beta tester. I shut off most background services, don't use AI and the battery lasts me a week on a charge. Yes, I use it everyday but I do shut it down overnight. The price I paid for the "a" model was not bad at the time either. I'm hoping it will last me till the Pixel 14a models are out in a few years... knock on wood.

if they had a clamshell phone, I'd willingly be a beta tester.


the battery consumption was pretty high for every Pixel I ever had, but what phone isn't after a while?


there are lots of Pixel specific features that might be labeled 'beta' by some, but I found them amazing. not to mention the quality of the photos were better than anything else I have seen from a phone offered in America.
