pixel 8 is underwhelming to say the least

that stupid widget they put on the main screen that you can’t remove, or move is absolutely the worst the fingerprint sensor is garbage compared to my S22, so many repeated attempts to unlock face unlock is absolute trash and almost never works adding a 2nd account on the phone and switching between the two causes the launcher to completely lock up necessitating in restarting the phone or switching back to the other account the picture quality is not on par with the S22, not by a long shot

i f’n hate samsung and all their bloatware so i made the jump back to pixel again and now i’m regretting it

I would be excited except it’s 2023 and Google has not made it available in my country (Indonesia), with the 4th biggest population in the world. This is a country where over 80 percent of the population uses Android phones. It seems Google is just not that serious in trying to sell us phones.

Really hope it comes to my country, but alas.

Looks like a nice incremental improvement. I know we weren’t expecting it, but I really hope to see satellite functionality. Maybe next year!

Satellite messaging would be a killer feature worth the upgrade.

how is this incremental?

it has way brighter screen, longer lifespan, better haptics, better performance (which will help it stay usable for 7 years), and it still has partnership with ifixit so you can replace batteries by yourself
