>Which manufacturers allow you to easily migrate to a new phone (Samsung has Smart Switch) and have, let's say, 4+ years of security updates? Pixel phones get 7 years of OS and security updates. Do you consider Pixel phones to allow you to easily migrate to a new phone? Disclosure: I work at Google, but not on Android or Pixel. | ||

Going from a phone with a Snapdragon SoC to a Pixel with the Tensor SoC was a big downgrade for me. It gets hotter quicker when doing more demanding tasks, battery drains faster if network conditions are not perfect, etc. We've been having some warm weather (~30ºC) around here and the other day my Pixel 8 Pro started warning me about the phone being too hot when I tried to record a video. I like Google's Android skin and their long support periods, but Tensor holds these newer Pixels back. | ||

Pixel phones are available in very few regions, Samsung is available virtually anywhere. | ||

Pixel phones have been awful hardware since the 5. So there is that. The tensor chip is a dud and can't be fixed. I'm done with Samsung for good after my current phone which I bought a few months ago. I'll probably replace it with an Oppo or something again, never going back to Samsung. |
