Don't Believe The Hype...

Thealmosthigh . 25 days ago

One of the worst phone experiences around imo. I've owned at least 30 Android devices ranging from Low to High end in the past 10 years and this ranks among the worst. The phone runs perpetually hot, the battery drains by the minute percentage wise with the screen on at the lowest refresh rate. Processors seem set up to benchmark better than the actual performance will reflect cuz in real usage I had a more consistent performance experience from snapdragon 695 devices that clock much lower than this one. AI features were the draw for me and honestly live up to their hype and inside a better equipped device are worth experiencing. I accept you get what you pay for and this is the budget device but there's at least five devices priced $100 or more cheaper that I would trade this for in a heartbeat. I read so many reviews that I now recognize were written by Google fan boys who likely have an undisclosed interest in seeing Pixel devices succeed(which I'm not mad at). That said the Apple-fication of Google is a real thing and from my experience with this phone it is just another step in that direction. Where Google once led the charge on features and devices that were more practical and built to empower the user They now focus on the spec race and employ half baked improvements where continuing to ignore perpetual device deficiencies. That's my rant buy at your own risk. Or if we cross paths you can have mine if it's not in the trash somewhere.

The customer service is unpredictable. Fail to put important notes in account notes. But the customer service reps that were good almost made up for the ones that don't know/like their job. The ones that don't care how they or anyone else are making a good company look bad.

World's worst customer service

The phone is fine, despite trouble with activation. The service was horrible. They couldn't help me and cut me off when transferring me. If I didn't have phones to pay off, I'd switch yesterday.

Pretty much the same as my last pixel phone, but the messaging app doesn't work, and I have to use like an older, factory setting version with lame emojis. I hate phone transfers. They are the worst!
