I’ve been questioning if android is even profitable enough for manufacturers to justify it in the US, like apple has the largest market share in the US and I see that everyday. Nearly every phone I see is an iPhone. The android phones I do see are rarely flagships.
Top class enh?
Must be why the forums and communities are full of people asking about battery drain, reception issues, and software update bugs.
Also what iPhone you buying that’s $1200? You do know samsung has several devices that are more expensive than even the top tier iPhone, right?
Regularly gets voted top android phone. So yeah. Top class. All phones have issues. Does pixel have more or less issues than any other. Hard to say. Plenty issues though. Battery drain is software though and impacts all phones.
No. iPhone has the most expensive phone options. What’s the cheapest flagship for this year ?
Battery issues and overheating from the Tensor SoC, which we all know is based on the Exynos (which Samsung stopped using because it was so bad).
On the price:
Top spec models -
Samsung S23 Ultra 1 TB is $1619
iPhone 14 Pro Max 1 TB is $1599
Normal models-
Samsung S23 128 is $799
iPhone 14 128 is $799
How is the iPhone more expensive? At worst it’s the same price, and you get more than double the years of software support.
Apologies at the $20 difference. I’ve no interest in fact checking you. I’m assuming they’re a high end iPhone that’s gold and cones with extra security and such. But yeah loads of phones have overheating. My OnePlus 9 had horrible over heating. Samsungs gave been prone to it and plenty other ones. Sometimes they explode.
Phones have defects like everything else.
No argument on software side. Apple is great with software. It had lawsuits because it intentionally slows the phone to a crawl though. Samsung and other androids can be unlocked and flashed though.
So both have some leeway there
(Just to be clear, I use a Pixel but hate Google as a company)
Tbh idk about all of this, I think it’s just a QA issue and these things don’t affect most units.
You can say the same thing for samsung batteries, apple cables, etc.
My 6a has always had good reception (even though forums said it had problematic reception). The battery, software update, etc have been a non issue, and the bloat free software’s been stellar.
Maybe I have biases because of confirmation bias and I got this phone for an outrageously cheap price, but I still think pixels are one of the best androids, if not the best.
Plus, you can install GrapheneOS
