The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

I'm an Android fanboi but even I'll say, if you plan to keep a phone (especially a pixel where the first generation definitely didn't seem to have the best track record) for a long time, like old iPhone long time, you're going to have a miserable experience. 2 years is pretty much the max plus pixels don't even have all the features of the top Android phones. See: wireless charging.

i hope i'm wrong. i've seen a lot of positive reviews, and i'm very invested in the google ecosystem so i'm willing to give it a shot. its not like my old iphone was amazing, it was just so memory-weak that i never got to actually use a lot of apps or features to begin with.

a lot of "features" on newer phones are actually liabilities to me due to the way i use them, including glass backs, which i specifically avoided. i take mine everywhere, including outdoor/camping trips where it's going to get banged around, and yet another pane of glass is definitely getting cracked. i could care less about having to plug in a power cord, seems like the most first world problem ever.

we'll see how it goes. 14 day trial period may come in handy.
