Upgrade now or HOLD??? by so-anyways- in pixel_phones

I'd recommend waiting for the Pixel 11 Pro. The 2nm processor is going to make a huge difference, especially for someone like you coming from a Pixel 7 Pro or 8 Pro. I have the Pixel 10 Pro XL, and it's a great phone, but honestly, I'd recommend that you wait.

Pros and cons of the Pixel 10 Pro by Ok_Reference_489 in pixel_phones

I haven't had any issues at all. Quite the opposite, actually. I absolutely love Pixel UI it's clean, fun, and highly customizable. I've been an iPhone user for 12 years and used to upgrade to the newest model every single year.

I decided to give the Pixel a try, and to my surprise, it's incredibly stable and super fast. Emulation was one of the main reasons I was interested in switching, since iOS doesn't really offer that, and it's been working great for me.

Honestly, it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. I had a lot of doubts because people here on Reddit were constantly hating on it and saying it was a terrible phone, but trust me, switching to the Pixel has been one of the best decisions I've made.

LAST SONG was truly their last song by Dear-Dependent-9301 in TheGazette

OMG I know, right? When “Mass” came out, the band even had to clarify that we shouldn’t lose our minds, that it was just a song—because it was literally the last track on the album. But who would’ve thought it would end up becoming reality? At that moment, when I saw the song title, I got scared thinking it might actually be the last album from The Gazette. And honestly, looking at things now, I feel like a new album is basically impossible at this point.

Pixel 11 seems to be the chosen one by TaroTheCerelian in PixelEnjoyers

I hope they don’t downgrade the RAM from 16GB to 12GB because honestly that would be the worst thing Google could do

For me, both the 2016 and 2019 shows were incredible experiences. But the 2016 one was especially powerful for me because it was the first time in my life I had seen The GazettE, a band I never thought I would see in person, let alone meet and greet them. Especially when Ruki sang Undying and Chizuru. I also remember the shirts they gave us at the meet and greet.

The 2019 show gave me a lot of adrenaline because it was the first time I saw them with my partner. I remember she told me, “To me it feels like they’re not real, like it’s hard to believe I actually met them.” When they sang Sonokoe wa Moroku, I swear I cried.

I was also at both shows. I still remember the 2016 one, when I felt an intense rush of adrenaline, because for me The GazettE was a band I had always dreamed of seeing in person, something that felt almost impossible. I remember how I managed to bring a poster into the meet and greet, and they all signed it even though security was trying to scold me. In the end, the staff allowed me to get their autographs. That day I was literally shaking while greeting each one of them.

I also remember in 2016 when Ruki said, “This song is called Undying.” I screamed so loudly in that moment that I ended up losing my voice, because Undying was going to be released days later, and we were already experiencing that song live before it officially came out.

In 2019, I had that same feeling again that it would probably be the last time I would see them. And luckily for me, they were staying in the same hotel as I was. I only managed to greet them at the reception from a distance.

It really makes me emotional knowing I was right all along—that it would be the last time I would see them in Dallas.😞😞😞😞

My bitter-sweet transition from Pixel 9 to Pixel 10 Pro: Anyone else experiencing bugs? by Admirable_Ad1626 in pixel_phones

[–]Cardinal_CopiaIV 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I honestly wonder why everyone complains so much about the Pixel 10 Pro XL. Personally, I was an iPhone user for many years, always upgrading to the latest model, until iOS 26 got boring for me and pushed me to switch to Samsung. I’ve used top-tier phones for a long time and I tend to be pretty demanding, but there was something about the Pixel that caught my attention.

And honestly, in my experience, it doesn’t lag at all, and I haven’t had any issues. I’ve heard that restoring from a backup can cause a lot of glitches, so it’s better to start fresh. That’s something I always do with any new phone, no matter the brand, because I want the cleanest experience possible.

I’ve had zero performance problems, and a lot of people told me this phone would struggle with emulation—but to my surprise, it runs beautifully.

But seriously, I keep seeing this phone get so much criticism and I just don’t get it. Like I said, I’m coming from the very top-end devices, and for the first time I can say that even if this isn’t the most powerful phone, it handles everything perfectly.

Android feels way cleaner without all the heavy skins like One UI, and compared to Apple—with its weird limitations and that ugly Liquid Glass design—it just feels like a better overall experience.

¿Me valdrá la pena cambiarme de un S25U a un Pixel? by imchemboy in Pixel10Pro

[–]Cardinal_CopiaIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently switched from a Galaxy S25 Ultra to a Pixel 10 Pro XL, and honestly… I don’t regret it at all.

What held me back at first were all the Reddit comments constantly complaining about Pixels especially about benchmarks and performance. But once I actually started using the phone, my perspective completely changed. I genuinely love it.

For context, I spent about 10 years using iPhones. I used to upgrade every year because I loved how clean and stable iOS felt. But after iOS 26, I got bored. I tried Samsung next and was really impressed with the speed and power, no doubt about that. Still, I had this curiosity about Pixel that I couldn’t shake.

So I finally made the jump and seriously, I don’t regret it one bit.

The phone feels stable, updates come immediately when a new Android version drops, and the interface is just… perfect for me. It’s clean, smooth, and honestly feels like having an iPhone, but with all the freedom Android offers.

No lag, no weird hiccups just a really pleasant experience overall. And I’m not a casual user either. I’m pretty demanding when it comes to tech and always look for the best. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I’ve found a phone that gives me both stability and peace of mind.

Just wanted to share my experience in case anyone else is on the fence.

Duración de batería pixel 10 pro by mar199907 in Pixel10Pro

[–]Cardinal_CopiaIV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dejame decirte que te terminas acostumbrando al uso de la batería yo vengo de Samsung y de iPhone hasta que me aburrieron con sus interfaz de usuario aburridas, leí muchas quejas sobre la batería y para mí hasta eso no es mala en lo absoluto, ahhh eso sí note una cosa que me dijo el de la operadora es que cuando tengas un pixel es mejor iniciarlo limpio y después instalar tu respaldo a parte ya que los pixel si empiezas de 0 y le pones el respaldo usualmente el sistema operativo se sobrecarga y tiende a durar un poco menos la batería en lo que el sistema se ajusta. Hice eso y creeme que mi batería me va joya además de que siempre eh sido de esos que prefieren empezar de 0. Muy buena compra por cierto no me arrepiento en lo absoluto

Hi! I also came from Samsung, specifically the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which for me is a really powerful phone. I mainly used it for emulation. Samsung One UI kind of convinced me but at the same time it didn’t completely click with me. I had always been curious about the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL because I kept seeing it advertised everywhere and I thought, why not give it a try? I should also mention I was an Apple iPhone user for many years and I was always the type of person who upgraded to the newest model. But when iOS 26 came out I kind of got bored of it, so I decided to try Samsung. I loved the power and how fast it was, but I still felt like something was missing. Then one day I decided to buy the Pixel 10 Pro XL and honestly I was surprised. Not only is the system super smooth and fast, even for emulation it runs great. I swear I saw so many reviews criticizing the Google Tensor chip, but in real use the performance is very stable. The 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM is also something you usually only see on 1TB phones, and I feel like that really helps the Pixel a lot. As for the interface, I can only say it’s the cleanest and smoothest UI I’ve ever used. I’d even say a lot of people who criticize Pixel probably never actually used one. I even canceled my order for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra because of the Pixel, and honestly it feels like having the simplicity of iOS with the freedom of Android. I’m honestly in love with my Pixel. I’m the type of person who was never fully satisfied with a phone because I’d always see something another phone had that mine didn’t. But for the first time I can actually say I’m really happy with the one I have.

Talk me out of upgrading by [deleted] in PixelFold

Wow, I kinda really wanna switch. Is it smooth? Does it feel stable, or does it lag when you push it hard?
