How can "some users" abandon a phone that they don't have? English is only my first language so maybe someone here can help me to understand this, Pixel fans are abandoning something that is sitting in Google warehouses at the time of this articles publication? How? Do Tesla fans seem ready to abandon CyberCab rides? Do Americans seem ready to abandon canned soup? Does Neried seem ready to abandon Triton? How about Neptune, does she seem ready? 🤔

Pre-ordering a device would be a sign of commitment to a product before it releases. Like they are interested, and following it's development.

However, people are already saying not only do they not want to pre-order, but they don't even want to buy it under normal circumstances, they only want it with special offers. They are looking elsewhere, leaving it on the shelf, neglecting it, snubbing their noses, and are abandoning it for more worthy purchases.

If you saw one lonely device on an empty shelf, while all the other products got purchased, would you say the one that got left behind was abandoned?

Don't mind these PA articles. A lot of the anti Pixel posts are just click bait farms especially from the this particular author. Now if it was written by Alan, the author, then you know it's legitimate since he actually has hands on experience with Pixels unlike the 🤓 masquerading as a wannabe intellectual.

I have a Pixel 7. I was thinking about upgrading to pro xl. I think the upgrade would be worth it, don’t you think?

Yes, if you're coming from something from the 8 and below, definitely. If you have the 9 and 10 series, there's no need to upgrade.

A certain individual 🤡🤓🧌 would know all about small, 🧠 and , hence the butthurt and mean bitterness. 😏 Of course it isn't going to stay on topic, because the queen can't form a valid argument in offense of Google's decision to offer less while charging more let alone form a valid defense for why their platform is still moonlighting a Frankenstein OS that tries its hardest to look like iOS while operating as a broken fork of Android.

I pre-ordered the Pixel 11 Pro XL and am upgrading from the Pixel 10 Pro XL for a very specific reason -- they moved the NFC antenna to near the top of the Pixel 11 from the middle. I hope it makes it easier for me to reach the NFC reader at my gate at work. Okay, and I got a good deal.

Now at least try and stay on topic, beedubya.

Oh look, a certain armchair critic 🤓 is being a hypocrite again. Go figure. That explains the butthurt, the bitterness, and the aroma of bull💩. 😏


Now cry me a river, emmgee. I say whatever I want to say.

Despite future improvement probabilities, Google jumping on PowerVR bandwagon (or inviting them to their own vagon), is a big let down.. two years in a row. They scaled up GPU frequency on 10 series and got half of the burst performance of 9 series, then they improved efficiency and boosted the GPU clock again for 11 series and it is still falling short compared to 9 series even while using smaller tech. If they would have simply boosted the clock of the proven ARM GPUs (that is, used the latest, used Immortalis), then it would have resonated well. Sure, PowerVR is supposed to be more adept at latest rendering techniques, but Google is two years now in this hole all the while trying to get out of it.
