People are leaving Google Pixel and I finally understand why
www.howtogeek.com
It’s not us, Google. It’s you.

I still love my Pixel 6 and I am thinking of grabbing a used Pixel 8 to run GrapheneOS.

I am not one to chase the latest benchmarks. Any phone made in the past five years or so is perfectly capable once you take the bloat out.

    Not sure what I’ll go for, and not looking forward to a phone with an OEM skin on the OS but Google has finally driven me away from the Pixel line. It’s a shame.

    If you want a clean OS, both Sony and Fairphone offer devices with relatively clean stock OS + good support for custom ROMs (and in the case of Fairphone, mobile Linux too!)

    The Xperia devices have headphone jack AND microSD slots! Fairphone’s devices are super repairable, which is really nice too, but no jack (they do have microSD slots though).
