Educate yourself and yo... morePixel phones are the only consumer smartphone that can give users proper and secure custom ROM support that make use of a security chip (like titan M2).
Like GrapheneOs a security and privacy focused hardened ROM only for Pixels phones, it doesn't come with Google Apps by default (if you want to use Google "spyware" it's sandboxed).
Whereas on Samsung phones you are stuck with Samsung apps and software know as bloatware (know for shady practices) + your Google "spyware". You can try to install custom ROM but its more complex, as the knox chip can be triggered (this chip serve different purpose as titan M2) and Samsung ROM, which are not secure, cannot make use of knox chip.
On Samsung phones your are forced to use Samsung and Google services, not on Pixels.
The installation process of GrapheneOs on a Pixel is very easy and straightforward as Google allow it, 5 clicks and done (using the simple web installer).
Samsung make custom ROM installation harder with Knox, so you are forced to use their bloatware and Google services...

Anonymous, 02 Sep 2023I recommend Pixel if they release it at Android 9 and just ... moreI forgot: The current generation Android nags you every 3 months about permissions you chose to set.
"Hey, did you FORGET that your password manager can INSERT PASSWORDS INTO ANY APP security NIGHTMARE,"
"You're just gonna let your camera have access to the camera?? think it through brother,"
"did you know Alexa can CONTROL the devices INSIDE YOUR HOUSE?"
"That fully open source app that you compiled so you can have a notification dot? It can write on the screen AT ANY TIME. Check on that guy!"
They aren't (easily) turn-off-able, either.
Add all this to the failure of a launch known as Pixel 6, and it's maybe a sign that other companies are just better at delivering Android products than "the Android company"

I recommend Pixel if they release it at Android 9 and just keep it there for eternity with ONLY security-related upgrades. You could still translate text inside of apps without the giant bubble on the screen. Conversation bubbles are practically useless, mostly annoying, and certainly not time-saving. Anyone remember the giant battery drain introduced in 12? Past Android didn't have that ugly pastel vomit introduced in 13. (This is one of the few things I hope reaches the Google Product Graveyard quicker than Stadia.)
The last two years flagships had a curved display, which is an automatic "NEXT" from me...
Honestly, at this point, Apple's best advertisement is Google.

404, 02 Sep 2023> slower firmware updates than Samsung
I guess you'... moreI guess you've never used a Samsung flagship? Samsung generally release the monthly security updates the last week of the month before. Not a joke. Samsung release the updates faster than the "maker" of the operating system. 🤣
This is an embarrassing side effect of Google's wilful incompetence to force mass device obsolescence.

Most firms do a market survey before releasing a product. This could be no different, just another survey so as to assess the impact, do a focus & later release the product from a point of knowledge. That's how top company sell..

OnePlus camera is trash because oppo team is in charge.
Vivo does better because of own team.
Dont forget, anything beyond 65mm will be digital zoom.
That is never good.
