      Horrible phone. Why would Google release something this awful.

No reason to put sd888 if it can function at 70% of its power. This phone delivers what it IS MADE FOR. This is THE BEST a midrange phone can get on Android.

            Customers always want more. You put sd778 they ask for 888. You pit that,they ask for 888+. You put ipx5 they ask for ip67. You put 67 they ask for ip68. You pit that they ask for mil-std.

            There is no end for what customers think as of "should". Lately what I observe is people CREATE needs and DEMAND the cheapest way to solve it...

              $450 with SD 765G, GG3? this phone must have at least SD 778G and GG6 and i know they won't give victus.

                AverageIndianUser, 29 Aug 2021i dont think 128 gb storage is enough at all. i have 400gb+... moreHonestly, Pixel Devices are the only phones I am even considering these days.

                They get security patches before almost every other official ROM, and that's really what matters above all else. Performance is middling, but hey, this is not a gaming desktop PC or professional workstation. It is a phone. Performance really doesn't really matter much in a phone, as long as the interface is responsive, and your email and web apps run.

                I don't know what y'all are doing with your phones that requires such ridiculous amounts of storage and transfer speeds. I've had a 128GB phone now for 2+ years, and I've come nowhere even close to filling it. My phone gets used for basic web/email when I have to be on the go. Anything heavier than that I prefer to do on a proper desktop PC, as it is a much better user experience than even the most expensive high end phone on the market.

                I don't really care much about the camera (I have an SLR if I want to take fancy pictures, and pretty much any cellphone camera is sufficient to take a spur of the moment hipster shot of my plate of food if I should be overcome by that silly desire). Same with 5G bandwidth. For email/Web anything 10-15Mbit/s is more than sufficient. I don't need 5G. Only reason I'm buying a 5G phone is to be future proof as far as coverage goes, as 5G transmitters on towers start outnumbering LTE transmitters in the next few years.

                It really comes back to the fact that no one buys a Pixel phone for the hardware (except maybe the fancy GSM/CDMA switching tech if you happen to be on Google Fi, and who knows how long that will even be needed after the T-Mobile/Sprint merger. I'd imagine they will eventually phase out CDMA). You buy it for the best in class software and security updates.

I for one would never go to sony phones knowing their android update history. But you seem to be expert in android. So I will leave it to you

You made your point which is you don't understand about android/linux or even the history of pixel devices that you judge. You are now free to leave this device's comments page. See you anywhere else

                          i dont think 128 gb storage is enough at all. i have 400gb+ storage currently on my HTC one x9 and its still not enough. yeah you maybe linux expert or whatever but at this price point its just not enough compared to others. why would anyone buy this when xperia 10 iii already exists with some really better features at same price point.

                            Dmitriy, 29 Aug 2021I'm with you on that, but there are no many alternativ... moreAgree. The problem is that sd can never be as fast as ufs/emmc. If any data is being pulled out, sdcard data will be much slower than ufs/emmc - which looks like phone is slowing down. By cutting out the sdcard, it is possible to get rid of that phenomenon

Also the light that comes out is too much especially in nights. Side mount also is weird. It is not as intuitional as is back side. So, it is all personal. I think backside panel is much better than front or side mounts

                                  2. Storage of older a devices was 64 (i own 3a xl) and it os very much enough for everything.
                                  3. You definitely don't understand how linux works, or you would know that even 4 or 6 is enough

                                      It's a pitty this phone has no 90hz refresh rate. Also the option for 256gb of storage should have been there. And I do miss a zoom lens. Too bad this could have been my new phone.

                                        I really wish it had a 90hz refresh rate and an upgrade on the front cam because its still 1080p@30fps, There isn't an gyro-eis with 1080p@60fps/30fps.
