We typically like Pixel phones a lot, but we have some reservations about Google’s quality control

    I’d argue that a luck of the draw issue is worse than a consistent, across the board QA issue.

    Still can’t bring myself to bite the bullet and buy a Pixel because of these “horror stories”.

      Yeah, I am biased to QA as well.

      Some of the glitches are subtle enough to make me think it’s something crunchy in the physical hardware. Many people simply wouldn’t notice the issues, TBH.

      Like all hardware bugs, it’ll likely take a bit of time to manifest fully. Being cynical, I would probably say the failures will fully manifest around the Pixel 10 release timeframe.

      Same.

      But mainly my S20+ is still way more than I need and I see that being the case for quite some time to come. Phone tech plateaued years ago. It’s great.
