  • I like pixel from a price to hardware performance ratio, but fuck the software side. Need a custom launcher coz the official one forces google calender to cover a whole line in your homescreen, and google search takes up a whole line on EVERY PAGE ON YOUR APPS HOME (why the bloody hell do i need this google search icon? It opens up some weird browser that is even worse than chrome). A million and one google product “suggestions” are being thrown at you for the first month of usage, official music app is youtube music, so literally everytime you open ot you need to tell it “yes im sure i want to use my offline music and not subscribe to youtube music”, the customizable shortcuts are basically “this can either activate google assistent or do nothing”, the worst 3 button navigation bar i have ever seen - You cant even swap the back button from left to right and jt hides itself at random occasions, evetytime you open your SMS you need to tell it you dont want to use google’s weird internet based sms feature (yes, it never stops suggesting it until you agree, 6 months already). The automatic adjustable brightness is terrible and already blinded me randomly when i tried to browse the internet before going to bed, the automatic screen wqkeup is junky at best, it has a weird feature that every time you.lay your phone over the screen it locks with no way to turn that off. Call recording apps barely work, closing all open apps it purposely innefficient (you have to scroll all the way left instead of it being immediatly available), the permission option of “ask every time” is broken because every third time it stops asking you to enable it and you have to enable the permission constantly and later remove it again.

    Fuck google’s OSes.
