The pixel has been over for years. They hardly do numbers anymore. People have moved on and Google still gonna put out a phone with 2 or 3 year old hardware for flagship price. They have to do stunts like this to get any press at all.

Yeah... My Pixel 6 Pro is the best phone I've ever had, and I don't even intended to upgrade until the Pixel 11 at least. So, you're just wrong.

or you just didnt try enough other phones. have you uses a shift phone yet? works great, share no data with magaland

Uhh, yeah no... A phone with a processor that's equivalent to something from like 4 generations ago isn't gonna cut it. Even then, that processor would be less powerful than the Tensor G1 in my Pixel 6 Pro. If you're concerned about data sharing, just get a Pixel and put CalyxOS or GrapheneOS on it. More secure anyways, and you still get much better hardware along with it.
