Pixel Fans are leaving Google and I Finally Understand Why (www.howtogeek.com)

I still love my Pixel 6 and I am thinking of grabbing a used Pixel 8 to run GrapheneOS.

I am not one to chase the latest benchmarks. Any phone made in the past five years or so is perfectly capable once you take the bloat out.

Edit: I found a great deal on a Pixel 10 and have ordered it.

I made the move to Android with my current phone (Pixel6 Pro). I won't be sticking with Google phones after this. I already replaced my pixel watch.

It's pretty much the same in Canada unfortunately.

I have a Galaxy watch 7 that I am looking to replace.

I am really hoping to move away from Google services completely but I also like having notifications on my wrist. I haven't found a decent replacement yet.

I got a Pebble Time 2 and, so far at the almost-two-week mark, no complaints. I get notifications just fine.

Still rocking my Pixel 4 and it still works perfectly and I have no intention of replacing it. I love that it's a compact size in an age where I'm expected to put laptop-sized phones in my pocket. Really not looking forward to shoving a zip code in my pants if there aren't any compact size phones being sold when the time comes.
