Three months since using the pixel 6a. I got it because it was the cheapest flagship quality phone I could get. Software wise. Though the camera is good as well.
I find the voice typing real smooth. I also found good use of the recorder app while watching video lectures.
Over all, not a single bug or problem while using it and it runs smooth, without bloatware.
I had a galaxy s9 before this and was daily driving it with the pixel AOSP.
The moment I moved to pixel AOSP on it, I know this is the thing. So I got a one month old Pixel 6a for like 200 USD in the market and didn’t think for another second.
This is the closest experience to windows phone I had.
This is just a beginner’s post as I get into lemmy.
Have thought about moving from Galaxy to Pixel lately…
I’m still fine with my S10 but it’s starting to feel the years. I imagine it’s got another 12-18 months left, but my upgrade chain has been S2➡️S6➡️S10, and the 6 to 10 jump was so unimpressive.
I’d kinda had my eye on the S22, since my typical pattern is just to get the tippity top flagship every few years and use it as long as it lasts, but ALL of the S20+'s all seem so similarly uninspired that I’m not exactly chomping at the bit. Not to mention the price tag…
Sure, back in the day the Galaxy S2 and android in general were the pioneers at the forefront, and those days are long behind us now, it’s true, but the pattern is established. Sigh, I dunno.
Yeah I have a Galaxy S9 I got in 2018 and it’s still going strong (enough). I’ve thought about an upgrade but I’m really just waiting for my S9 to die hahaha.
I’ve had galaxy phones since the original Samsung Galaxy, but I think it’s time to move on to another brand. I am seriously considering a pixel for my next phone
