Amazon is one of the main reasons why Android tablets never took off - they flooded the market with cheap underpowered junk that no developer could possibly take seriously, and then locked Google out of their ecosystem entirely.

On Survey shows how divisive the Pixel 11's Tensor G6 really is ·
People are making way too much of the RAM downgrade on the base models. It won't make any difference in day to day use and you always have the option of 16GB with the higher storage tiers. Keep in mind that until last year, iPhones had 8GB of RAM or less, even on the pro models. As for the Tensor G6, it offers the smoothest software experience and best battery life of any Pixel to date, not to mention the huge boost in image signal processing, allowing you to take most night sight photos in under one second. In many ways the G6 in combination with Google's software yields better performance than a lot of other flagship devices.

On Google’s latest attempt at fast wired charging on the Pixel 11 Pro XL is a disaster ·
Either charge your Pixel overnight or buy one of those crappy Chinese phones with 100W charging. This is definitely a you problem.

On Fan survey sends Google a pretty blunt message about the Pixel 12 ·
"99% of the buyers of these phones really don’t care about hardware wars" Exactly, and people who think Google should focus more on CPU/GPU performance clearly don't know what Pixel phones are for. The entire reason Pixel phones exist is to leverage Google services, including Gemini AI. If consumers didn't care about AI, Apple wouldn't have gotten anywhere near as much flak for the whole Siri/Apple Intelligence debacle.

On The Pixel 11 Pro is setting a dangerous precedent for Android upgrades ·
"Google wants to sell you on an experience, not hardware" No sh*t. That's been the entire point of Pixel phones from day one. That's why people buy them - to leverage Google services.

On So, are we all just going to forget about Bendgate? ·
If you buy an expensive tech product and allow it to get damaged in a stupid way, that's a you problem.
