I absolutely love the irony of this being a known issue, when my Pixel 3 had the exciting issue of occasionally getting stuck in a boot loop, and every loop, it’d call 911.
Great fun staying up till 3am in order to hang up on 911 hundreds of times until the battery ran out.
I feel like it’s going to be the 7 year commitment. I don’t think they’ll keep it. They’ll find a way to rephrase and reframe and abandon the 7 year updates like they do so many of their announced plans.
The new features that I give a shit about have mostly plateaued now. I don’t care about new releases. As long as “what I bought keeps working and some cunt next to me on a laptop can’t randomly hack my phone” remains in effect I legitimately might not care.
Phones just do the same stuff now, so updates don’t really matter beyond security. That’s a problem for the pixel 8 too… I’ve got a 7a and it’s not really got anything my 5 didn’t have, other than being bigger and heavier. So I’m not even bothered by the 8.
Yeah that was the main reason why I didn’t get a Pixel when I was going to change my old phone. I don’t game so often but when I do I want to not be slowed down…
Place your bets! What will be the Pixel 8’s glaring release flaw?
Still unable to call 911

I still don’t like the ridiculously big quick toggle icons and the fact that wifi is hidden behind a second layer of quick toggles.
Also I’m not sure about the warranty process, that’s always been their weak spot
That’s all OS. So it’ll be there even on older Pixels.

Only security updates after 4 years. I’m betting. We won’t see Android 20 on this.
Which actually might be okay.

Battery heating or quick drain issue

TizenTensorFor those who don’t know: tizen is Samsung’s operating system which they used on phones and watches previously and still use on TVs.
