The Pixel line up lost a lot of respect from me after I purchased the Pixel 6. Absolute shit show from start to finish. Love the software, hate the hardware.

What's my best alternative for next year when I consider upgrading?

Just the regular Pixel 6, not the pro.

Dodgy fingerprint reader, doesn't stay flat when laid down on a table which makes glide typing difficult because the phone rocks about. Basic QA issues. Basic.

Anyway like I said love the software, hate the hardware.

I have the 6 pro and it also rocks. I assumed it had bent a bit in my pocket but maybe they just made them wonky in the first place. My biggest issue is the battery life. It's tragic.

And android 14 has been pretty buggy so far

I have the regular 6 and Android 14 has been indeed shit. If I wasn't waiting for 8 Pro I'd at least try factory reset but I don't want to go through the setup process twice in a short period.

I have a 6, partner has a 7, the battery life is embarrassing straight out of the box. Our phones are accompanied by a power bank now, everywhere we go, we lug what is, essentially, the phone's actual battery.
