What appear on internet reflects 1% of devices most of us have a happy life like almost all people...ofc websites live with clicks...don't expect to see news like: "1 more day 0 people crying"

    Almost 2y using 4 XL i still can achieve 6-8h sot or 3h with intense gaming like playing Genshin or Apex Legends from 90% to 10%. I still love this phone especially it's performance, battery life and Motion sense feature. I believe a lot of us don't want to upgrade, come on Google p4 series deserve another year upgrade.. give us security patch for another year at least

      Come on Google at least update the Pixel 4 until the end to match that of Pixel 5 since we know the Pixel 4 is more powerful in every single way not to mention with the added Neural Core.

        Could be down to me being "lucky", but even on Pixel 6 line, the only serious bug that ... bugged me ... was broken DAC support. I know Pixel 6 line is a favourite punching bag and I really believe a lot of users have issues with their units, but I luckily was not one of the affected ones.
        iPad Pro on the other hand was, for me and my two friends, pretty much a software nightmare for a long, long time.

          Too bad google killed my pixel 4xl phone with their April update. Wouldn't start after the update

            The last good-looking Pixel phone in my opinion. If they have it the bottom front-facing stereo speaker, fingerprint reader, and bigger battery, it would have been perfect.

            Alas, I do await the 7 Pro to get my wife. If the rumors are true that the Pixel Watch would be a pre-order bonus for it, it's a no-brainer.

                    I am a Nexus and Pixel users from the first hour, but the gras isn’t any more green here than some claim.

                    I could write a whole book about issues Android had through the years, and that without ever mentioning any of the multiple issues my Pixel 6 Pro had software wise.

                    Every OS, no matter if Android, iOS, Windows or even Linux has it’s share of bugs and issues, people make the code and so people make mistakes in that code, simple as that.

                    So again it is unfair to blame iOS but not mention other operating systems, because all of them have had or have issues.

                      Fearghast, 04 Oct 2022There is a quite a difference in Google vs. Apple support -... moreNot entirely true.

                      Google does the same, my Pixel 6 has functionality that is purely software based but yet only Pixel 6 has it.

                        Ayy Lmao, 04 Oct 2022Then again, iphone 11 from 2019 was updated from IOS 13 to ... moreThere is a quite a difference in Google vs. Apple support - on iOS I pretty much never get a new feature, even if it is clear as day it is just a software restriction. On Android there are actually features added to older devices, rarely, but it feels more substantial than Apple style of not updates but more of a "security" updates with occasional bug fix.
                        Not to mention not a long time ago when every other iOS update introduced more bugs than it actually fixed - that was really a fun time on my iPad Pro ... let's see what they have broken again ...

                                  With how terrible those two pixels were at launch, I doubt a lot of people will want to try the Pixel 6 or 7.

I'm not saying it's a bad phone, I almost bought this phone but didn't.

                                      Then again, iphone 11 from 2019 was updated from IOS 13 to IOS 16 then until IOS 18!
