Google Pixel

[User 189]

I wanted to create a thread for discussing Google's "Pixel" line of hardware products.

This year, Google is expected to unveil...

The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro
The Pixel Watch
The Pixel Fold

Maybe even a Chromebook? Who knows?

All of which should have "Google Silicon" as people are calling it!

That looks nice!

I'm interested in the new Pixel phone. It's the first time in a while I've been interested in an Android phone. (If I ever went Android, I would only get a Google phone. I don't want to use some other company's version of the software and wait a year for updates).

Oh, I forgot to mention this!

Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro spec leak promises 5 years of update support

I was just having a discussion with a co-worker this afternoon about what he should do regarding his aging Pixel 3 XL as we head into the dog days of summer. In the tech world, a few months can sometimes feel like ages, and it only gets worse when your phone is on its death...

Honestly it looks awesome and a lot more exciting than an incremental iPhone/iOS update...

First Android phone in a while that's actually making me think about switching.

I don't necessarily think of the iPhone as the greatest of all, it's just that switching out of their ecosystem would be a huge pain in the ass. It's the same reason I've been hesitant to change out my camera gear.

Same. That's the main thing stopping me. I still much prefer Macs and macOS to Windows/PC (I have both though) and I don't think I could get a Pixel unless I want to really switch to PC-use full time. And I don't see that happening, especially with the new M1X MBP coming soon.

(Thinking about dropping Apple TV though. I need a new TV and the one I'm looking at comes with Google TV and it seems to be pretty nice).

Whoever works for Google’s YouTube page used the wrong version of “peek” in the video title.

And I love every second of it!

I like the simplicity of iOS. I tried Android. I really did. I had an Android tablet for a long time, but it just didn’t do it for me. My husband has a Pixel and he loves it. Of course, he hates all things Apple.

Google recently opened pre-orders for the Pixel 6a. It looks like a great Android smartphone for anybody on a tight budget.
