As a current pixel phone user, I’ll never buy a Pixel device or any Google hardware again. Cost to performance ratio is not good in this phone. The chip heats if i try to watch a 140p YouTube video on the phone. The modem is really bad for voice and data. Shows low network signal always. Same sim if i put in another device with a snapdragon processor, that device shows almost full signal. Opened a complaint on Google support and they basically told me to talk to the cell operator. Like a cell operator will change settings for one customer. ಠ_ಠ Zero support from Google and they won’t even acknowledge that their modems are bad.
As long as Google uses this Tensor chip I won’t go back to it. This is my first bad experience with a phone manufacturer. So, yup, never will buy any Google hardware again.
I got my 6a for $150 and got some decent bt earbuds. I will exclusively stick to Pixels, for the main reason of them being supported by custom Roms the best. I will never go back to Stock or any other proprietary bloat os.
My SO has used Pixel phones exclusively since they first came out and every single one somehow seemed to update every week and progressively get buggies.
And the hardware is even worse. Already RMA’d her first Pixel 6 Pro, thought we’d have to RMA it again last week because the gyro was stuck on the y axis (luckily dropping it fixed the issue for now).
Battery life has been incredibly poor comparing to any other comparable phones. Signal strength likewise having issues even in a urban city of 300k people.

Yeah, for like GrapheneOS and Calyx OS there’s not a lot of options to turn to.

Wouldn’t we all love Snapdragon with long-term support? Alas, that’s not how Snapdragons do.
