I use a pixel and I have a hard time justifying a different phone.
Maybe things have changed but the last Samsung I had was an S7 and I didn't like it. It suffered from bloat and didn't last all that long. Battery issues and the screen started to lose sensitivity.
I've used iphones and they aren't bad, but I really dislike apple's app store and effort to control everything on my phone. Also everytime a new phone came out my old phone became next to unusable for a month.
I got a pixel 3 and loved it, now I have a pixel 6 and don't see changing my phone any time soon or going to a non-pixel phone. They last a long time, they work well with everything and the camera is excellent.
A pixel doesn't have SD card slot or 3.5 mm jack. My Xperia 1V has both. There. Justified.
I mean most consumers don't care about those π€·ββοΈ
most consumers have shit taste π€·ββοΈ
Or those features just aren't that useful in modern phones...
I've used https://shop.fairphone.com/ for a while now, a bit less slick and more expensive, but I'm very satisfied. I already degoogled completely, can't have a Google phone now :D
What does Fairphone offer for the car infortainment interface, or are you stuck without one?
I don't own a car, no idea.
