Huge batteries that die faster than a Pixel with half the capacity, cameras with infinity megapixels that just end up taking huge terrible photos, software updates lololol, usually the tackiest theme overlaid so you get blue highlights on buttons with green backgrounds...

Never had such issues. Infact, last I knew pixels were bad with battery life.

I've had way too many pieces of crap Xiaomi and Doogee and Ulefones over the years to ever go back after having a couple of Pixels.

That was your issue. I was talking about something mainstream from oneplus, realme, etc. Xiaomi makes good hardware but their software can use some work. I avoid xiaomi but others from bbk electronics like oneplus and realme and good.

Aye, no true Chinese phone maker would be a piece of crap

Personally I have the 8 Pro and I'm constantly impressed with how good the battery life is. I can go two days without a charge, something that my older pixels would fail at. It's also held up much better -- im assuming due to the charging changes they've implemented in recent versions of Android
