I had actually considered switching out of Samsung for my next phone. Looks like I might be going with Pixel. Still gonna be expensive, but if they follow through on this, might be worth it. Just need to see how well it handles some things.
the only thing I need is a samsung dex replacement
I'd say I'd need a stylus, but I'm looking at my current phone and I don't use it. And I'm not paying $1800 for a fold.
And it's been so long since I've gotten to use base android. I won't miss Samsungs UI at all
Yeah, I got the note thinking the stylus would come in handy... but I never actually use it. The few times I've taken pictures I have, but I rarely use the camera. It's one of the last things I'm worried about with a phone. I mostly just play emulators on the bus, social media, YouTube, and that's about it. So as long as games run fine, I'm good. I can use just about anyone for that.
I've been a Pixel user (1, 3, 5, 7 Pro) and Fi customer for as long as it has been available and I've enjoyed every minute of it.
They've cut a few features that I miss, like the rear fingerprint scanner. Being able to comfortably access the Quick Settings menu easily with one hand was awesome. They're definitely relatively sturdy and sexy phones though!
