Hi, could you share what phone you bought? I'm looking for a replacement in the near future and I want to get a headstart on the research.
Bought a Pixel 10. And am downgrading this to a C review, primarily because Google uses their customers as beta testers. The hardware is nice overall, but Android 16 needs work. As is typical for Google they knowingly released a product with lots of bugs for their customers to find. (Perhaps this is the reason so many Google employees buy Iphones.)
The bug Google has knowingly released include a broken volume control on some applications. having to have Spotify on screen for the volume control to work on Spotify Connect devices (never before was the case), sleep schedules not working reliably
What Google does do right is carrier compatibility. Just like the Iphone, Pixels can be used at any U.S. carrier and everything works
