MalaXmaS 647 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Been rocking this Pixel 5 since 2021. Google has stopped supporting this phone with updates so I am wondering if I should upgrade my phone. Battery is about 75% good, it quickly discharges up to 65% then lasts longer till I have to charge at 30%. I would be getting a Pixel 8 of course. Fuck Samsung and their bloatware.

Love my galaxy 24 ultra 😊. I work with a dude that always gets the latest tech , he switched from Galaxy to iPhone like six months ago and he's already telling people apple sucks and he's going back.

I mean all the flag ships are good. But apples products are always the leaders, others half bake implementation. It’s why android requires 3x the ram as iOS but is still worse at ram management.

JonDnD 2,627 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I went from a s21 to a s24+ and yeah, it's a little nicer but the upgrades aren't as big as they used to be. I got the phone and watch for free tho so why not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 4,679 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I haven't had any issues with my S22 Ultra. I can't see myself needing a better phone than this for quite some time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Companies should sell you on the upgrade, not force it via ending security updates or a non-removable battery. Fuck that. Should you upgrade? Yeah, probably. I wouldn't do anything important on a phone without security updates even if it's absurdly unlikely you'd ever be targetted for something. The Pixel 8 has 7 years of support, so I'm not saying stop buying Pixels because that's industry leading. Just fuck that 3 year shit they use to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
