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.

    Pixel 9 running GOS. My bank’s app (Lloyds) won’t work, and never has for me. Additionally, I have a store card, and credit card app, both of which are offered by NewDay, neither of which work on my phone. The official UK government ID app won’t work with it either.

    But honestly, I’ll take that inconvenience over letting Google have free reign over my phone.

      I wish I had your willingness to deal with these problems.

      I’m tired. I just want to go on with my life without all those troubles. When I was younger, I was spending days trying to make everything work on my Cyanogenmod… and before that, I was already tinkering with Linux.

      But I’m tired. I wish companies weren’t pieces of shit and they just let us use an open system. :(
