Google Pixel 7 Pro Long Term Review after using it as my daily driver for the past 8 months, from October 2022 to July 2023 & how it competes with the iPhone...
I do agree with In Depth Tech Reviews’ overall sentiment as a pixel 7 pro user. Personally, I have different gripes for it.
I considered buying the P3 or P4 because they’re said to have the best cameras and battery performance, but the end of security updates after 2022 and 2023 respectively turned me off and I got a P6A instead. What are you going to do with your P4A after the support for it ends this year?
Wow, I didn’t know that LineageOS has such long-term support! The original Pixel is still supported?! I’m using GrapheneOS and they offer support for the same lifetime as the official Google updates, so I assumed that the rest of the alternative OSes are the same.
Yes as long as somebody is out there to make a device port. I just checked the page for the 2016 Pixel (aka the sailfish) and it looks like it’s still being maintained https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sailfish/
I loved my 4a, but damn it’s fragile. I dropped it and had to replace it’s screen three times. On the fourth broken screen, I upgraded to a Pixel 7. Yes, I had it in a (nice) case.
I have a glass screen protector on mine and somehow I’ve never broken it. There have been many times when I dropped it and I swore that’d be it, but then I turn it over and there’s not a scratch!
I loved my 3a and upgraded to the 6a last year, but it feels like a step backwards. The camera doesn’t seem anywhere near as good? It’s so heavy and clunky. No headphone jack. It’s a bit faster maybe but the battery isn’t as good as the 3a was when new and it overheats all the time.
My Pixel 4a 3 years later: I love it, and I’m not disappointed
Pixel 5 here. This could be the last phone I ever need, if I could expect software support. Dreading the day I need to replace it
The pixel a series has always been great imo.

Probably switch to LineageOS like I did on all my Nexus phones.

I love the 7, no complaints at all.
First phone I’ve ever broken. Yeah I’d say there was a durability issue. Slippery AF too.
