> Google Pixels are buggy as hell,

That hasn't been my experience.

That's funny since the Pixel 6 has had so many people complaining about various bugs.

Google has no quality consistency both with SW and HW, it's all hit and miss with their Pixel range. Some turned out great, some were abasically e-waste.

IMHO they peaked with the Nexus 5 and then went downhill after that. Then current Pixel 7 seems to be an exception.

* Buggy pull down brightness switcher. * Buggy do not disturb mode * Camera app bugs out when taking photos, random frame drops in video recordings. * Sharing menus - slow, suggestions are poor. * broken launcher + third-party launcher support. * buggy compass calibration * buggy 911 support

I haven't needed to call 911 or use a 3rd party launcher but I haven't noticed of those other issues.

Hm...

1. GPS didn't work in the background for me. A few OS updates and some Waze updates later it seems I do get turn-by-turn directions.

2. GPU artefacts in Minecraft and Firefox. A few OS, Minecraft and Firefox updates later and it all "just works".

3. Fingerprint sensor works well except when you need it. Murphy's law for sure.

4. I'm in a low signal area and it seems to be unable to receive calls sometimes. I've had people tell me they called and my phone just didn't ring (it's not do not disturb).

Overall is a decent phone but it was a struggle for the high price it had.

My 5G/LTE performance definitely seems much worst than the Pixel 3a XL I had previously.
