After having the XL versions of Pixels before this one, the size isn't so bad. Its usable in one hand and I've been really liking the flat edges/screen.
The battery is almost the same as my 6 Pro toward the end of its life.
The display resolution looks really good in person. I really appreciate the brighter screen so that more than makes up for the lack of sharpness compared to the 6 Pro.
Cameras are great as usual for these phones. I didn't realize how many features they added on to Pixels since the 6 line.
The AI features are gimmicky and I'll just leave it at that.
A solid 8/10 phone for me. Definitely feels like an upgrade even for a base model.
How's everyone liking/disliking theirs?
