Funny how hell bent you are on justifying this overpriced garbage.

Alrighty, gimme a few minutes.

Here

OnePlus 12 - 12/256 variant going for 560 on amazon, runs Circles around all the pixels for any amount of foreseeable years.

OnePlus 12R and 13R - 430 and 450 USD on amazon, again better everything except USB 2.0 if you care.

Motorola Edge 50 Ultra - 380 USD right now, same story and USB 3.1 Gen 2

      Just me, 20 Mar 2025In reality its between 7 gen 3 / 7 plus gen 3. Which is go... more$500 USD Starting price!

      2 weeks ago Xiaomi 14 512 GB variant was going for $470 here on Amazon (brand new, not renewed or refurbished)

        Xiaomi prices are subsidized with ads. If you want to do apple oranges comparison with subsidies, I can get Pixel 9a for free from T-Mobile. So yeah, Pixel won, free. Your $200 is more expensive

        See how stupid that is?

          In flagship its another story.

            Last I checked 300 is still way lower than 500 for a ugly gimped phone.

            If you can't get rid of ads on Android, what even are you using Android for, it's not at all a difficult task.

            Go to Adguard website (official not playstore) download the app and juat enable the DNS service that acts like a VPN and enjoy ad free everything including other apps you install on your phones. I've been using it aince 2016 and even on a phone I switched to a couple months ago is already doing great, I have saved about 1.3TB of data and blocked over 10.2 million ads, trackers and requests.

            Or simply go to WiFi settings, switch to manual DNS and type in dns.adguard.com or find DNS address for IPV4 and IPV6 to strip your network of ads and other crap.

            If you're more inclined, get shizuku and strip everything you don't need on your phone via ADB. It's ridiculously easy.

            I don't even remember last time I had to deal with an ad on even the most notorious ad infested apps and websites.

              S I R E, 20 Mar 2025Poco F5 Poco F5 is not $200. It's launch price was more than $300, subsidized with ads
              Plus it's not even available in markets where Google Pixel is marketed at like the US

                The no camera bump is actually a feature! Really missed phones with flat back, very nostalgic. I'm tempted to get one just for that alone LOL.

                                Also comes with 5300 modem so poor signal will be a major feature!

                                  Why google is not using snapdragon processors.

                                    this is just a bad phone. All pixel devices are objectively bad at their prices.

                                    Freaking 7+ Gen 2 performance which is upper mid ranger from 2023. Can be found in phones at sub $200 range.

                                        People who bitch about bezels are the same ones who say plastic cheapens a phone. I HATE glass backs on phones - it's not premium, it's fragile as hell, it's slippery as sh*t, it adds mountains of useless weight, and every benefit you get from glass you can also get from plastics.
