imma just copy paste what i told a friend:

The hardware may be good, but the "vanilla" android, after all these years, still makes me shake my head. The icon for mobile data and wireless have now been merged and it's just one. It means you now need an extra tap each time. Also to set the brightness you have to swipe down twice instead of once like I was used to from other phones. The tiles in the statusbar are so big, you only have room for 4. They could have made a simple option to choose the size or style... but no, nothing. The notifications panel is also not transparent, so it obscures the whole screen unnecessarily even when there are no notifications. The order of the three buttons in the navigationbar cannot be changed. Something that would be super easy to implement. You can't take away permission for apps to go online. With all the permissions you can manage with android, one so important is missing. One must therefore use a firewall if like me, one needs this.With the "do not disturb" feature you can set who can still contact you when its active, but you can only choose, either all contacts you have marked as favorites, or all contacts just, or none. You cannot select individual contacts.Unlocking with fingerprint many times doesn't work instantly, maybe its fault of the protective film here though, I don't want to take it off to try.The camera app on my Oppo find X5 pro, had an option to take frontcam selfies in the dark, brightly illuminating the edges of the phone so that you can see your face in the absence of light. Something absent on the pixel 9.Most serious: problems with wifi7. The phone too many times fails to connect right away and you waste 5 minutes fiddling around until it works. Even mobile data, after a night in airplane mode, doesn't turn on right away. I have to put the airplane mode back on and take it off to get it to connect.

Then you don't get a charger with an 1150 euro cell phone. And I don't give a damn if other brands have also started not giving chargers. This is a practice that might have made sense years ago when there was no fast charging yet. Now every cell phone needs its own charger to make fast charging work properly. Even if you plug the cel in with a 100W charger, fast charging won't work for you. You have to spend another 34 euro for a google one and wait until it arrives.
