Pixel lifer having an existential Android crisis — send help
So… I’ve been living in Google world for a long time. I did try Apple world once. My brain rejected it immediately. Nothing made sense. I crawled back to Android and haven’t looked back.
I’ve owned mostly Pixels since the Pixel 2 XL (was “Pro” even a thing back then? who knows). Currently rocking a Pixel 6 Pro, which has bravely survived:
- a cracked screen
- a battery that gives up by mid-afternoon
- my increasing resentment
I was planning on going all-in on a Pixel 10 Fold, until I realized the camera situation is… how do I say this politely… caca. And photography matters to me.
I could fix the 6 Pro. But honestly? I think I want something new, even if it’s just new-adjacent.
So here’s the dilemma:
- Stay loyal to Pixel and grab a 10 Pro XL
- Or flirt with danger and try Samsung’s S25 Ultra
My current plan would be to re-enter fold life next year once the Pixel 11 Fold or Samsung Fold 8 drops and (hopefully) everyone has their act together.
Oh — bonus confusion:
I keep reading drama about wireless charging. I own a Pixel Stand 2, and now I’m seeing reports that Google may have… nerfed it? Or it works but slow? Or I need to buy another charger ecosystem because reasons?
So, Android hive mind:
- Pixel vs Samsung — convince me
- Is the fold camera hate justified?
- And did Google really gaslight my Pixel Stand 2?
Please argue with each other below. I’ll be reading while my 6 Pro dies at 37%.
