how come pixel with stock android from creator of android has lots of bugs and problems
same applies with android one phones, at least those I knowlike MI A2 and MI A2 lite, slowness, unresponsiveness and lots of bugs, yet they say clean android. I have never experienced such things on my 2 xiaomi phones with miui, one of them is already 3 years old

    I want a Pixel, I really do. But they really should be so much cheaper. They are good for stills, and that's it. Their video audio is still poor, their WiFi calling is riddled with issues, as is the Bluetooth. The screens, on both 3 devices have issues. The 3 is bright, but lots of smear reports. The 3xl has a yellow screen. Obvious when side by side with a 3.

      Some people out there are experiencing general sluggishness huh? It's sure funny to see a smartphone with stock ANDROID experiencing lag after some time, of course this only applies to Google at this point of time, pretty disappointing to be honest. What's more disappointing is their quality control, which can worsen the situation

                  Too many bugs considering its 'stock android'. Becomes laggy after a month even using SD845. Even EMUI, One UI are more optimized. Oxygen OS definitely the best.
