But since you asked and must want to know, I don't think I've ever ran into bugs on the phone I have, and to your dismay, it is a OnePlus. So seethe and cope as you must

All three (still) work perfectly, I just doesn't want to change any time soon, so making a reserve, because I hate all these new ugly big phones with loads of useless so-called "features", stupid form factors, camera bumps and everything.

              Got the Pixel 6 Pro on launch and had it for a month. Had issues all the time:
              1. multiple System UI crashes - why??? Google is supposed to be THE TOP DOG for Android, yet the OS is so crappy?!
              2. NO SIGNAL for 15 minutes or so, or unless I restart the phone - apparently a modem issue but still no fix or no word from Google. Also, why have they not tested this phone before even releasing it?
              3. Poor battery life - nuff said. Not sure how much other people been using their phones but I use it A LOT. The most I got from my phone was about 4 hours - and that's bad, for a flagship phone with over 5000 mAh size battery.
              4. Slowest finger print scanner - why couldn't they just stick to the finger print scanner in the back? It was great. AND fast. And it wasn't broken - so why "fix" it?

                  I've held out... sticking with the best phone they made - the 2XL for 3 years. Couldn't hold out any longer and got the 6 Pro. The list of issues and fixes is a disaster. Google should do better than this. I think this will be last Pixel I buy.

                          Only issue I've had with my pixel 6 pro is the finger scanner. Doesn't work with my thumb...works fine and fast with my index fingers tho.

                          Other than that...wonderful phone. Battery life is very good too. 3.5 hours of 9n screen time

                                    Each Pixel that is released is worse than the previous model. Google should just stick with the A series.
