    Pixels suck as actual telephones. I have had several and my friends are like, “I called you and you never called back!” No ring, no notification. Missed or undelivered messages.

    If everyone was on WhatsApp I’m sure it’d be great but the carrier services suck ass like I’ve never experienced with another phone.

    Have you had that experience? Maybe I just have shit luck

      Ironically, the Pixels are the only devices officially supported by GrapheneOS at this time. If you ever get sick of google enshittification this is definitely something to look into

      I do feel like I have also had that experience, but I suspect it’s because I nearly always have my phone on silent and otherwise use Signal. But notifications do arrive inconsistently late! I wonder if that is connected to battery saver or something. Definitely a worthy criticism, though; thanks for bringing it up.
