There is no date of arrival for the motorola yet. I only read beginning of 2027. That could also be delayed. And if it is a phone with underwhelming specs, I wouldn't want to buy it either. But buying a pixel now means not buying a motorola soon.

Motorola hasn’t released a good phone in decades and I wouldn’t expect them to get this one right.

Google and their fans are a bit insane considering the new Pixels are giving iPhone 11 performance at iPhone 17 Pro pricing. And you still pay with your personal data. Make it make sense.

If you don’t trust Apple, I’m really not sure what to tell you. You could get s handheld Mac… or you could take your chances with something far less reputable and hope. Nothing and OnePlus seem promising, but they also seem to under-deliver. I’d also be looking into the “Linux phones,” though I think those are just Android in disguise since they run Android apps?

At some point, you’re gonna get a cheap smartphone and not care what it runs because you don’t put any personal data on it, you just use it as a hotspot for a laptop running Linux, and you make calls through some web service.

    What if I told you that some people aren't gaming on their phones at all and couldn't care less about the performance?

    I would tell you you're preaching to the choir. I'm not gaming on my phone.

    Still, if I'm paying iPhone 17 Pro prices, I better be getting iPhone 17 Pro performance. I'm looking at the Pixel 10/11 Pro and I'm looking over at my Galaxy S10 and thinking "what's the difference"?

    If you couldn't care less about the performance, save a few hundred bucks and get a mid-ranger. Or just throw more money at Google. Your money, not mine. I didn't earn it. I'm just saying "make it make sense." Which they can't.
