My Pixel 8 Pro has been the best of the Pixel phones I’ve had, but Google’s phone hardware is rough. Contrary to my previous point, my Pixel 4 XL had the bloated battery issue, and I had to give that up for the 6 Pro, which had the shittiest Tensor chip leading to overheating and lack of reception in areas where I should have full bars. Gave that up for the 8 Pro, and it hasn’t had any significant hardware issues so far.
So yeah, Google hardware sucks, and I’m thrilled to potentially be moving to a new Moto phone that has a Snapdragon chip and improved hardware quality.
I have a Pixel 7 from a couple years ago. Its simply an inferior product compared to other mobiles on the market. The higher price could be a more regional issue perhaps but mine still has problems with fingerprint scanner, sim issues, heating problems etc.
The only reason I bought it was for the unlocked boot loader and grapheneos.
Haven’t had any malfunctions on the pixel 9 at all, but I immediately installed grapheneOS and put it in a case. Maybe because I didn’t grab it at launch I dodged a bullet? Odd.
Maybe they fixed some of that in later iterations. Heating and 5g bands are more region dependent so that could be just me since I live near the equator.
I’ve had nothing but good experiences with my pixel 9, what stands out to you?

Pixel 7 still had problems with fingerprint reader, Pixel 9 doesn’t
