      @chuckyinges Před 2 lety +10

      Actually they did, from almost the very beginning with Android 2.3, more than 10 yrs ago, with the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. But the timing wasn't right, Android was at its infancy then. The Nexus program was exactly what you describe - a partnership between a phone OEM and Google to create a phone that runs a pure Android OS as Google intended. Alas it didn't last long and Pixel was born.
      The way I see it, every OEM has invested so much time and money in their variant of Android so they have their own identities. No way would they make a phone which runs a pure OS that does not fly their flags. "People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware". Apple understands this and did well. Only makes sense for Google to follow suit.

  • @BrandanFischer
    @BrandanFischer Před 2 lety +40

    My guess is that the Pixel 7 will be much improved over the 6 in terms of pretty much everything. Once Google expands upon their Tensor a bit more and lets it mature a bit, I really think that we'll have the greatest Android device around. With that being said, I think the 6 is already an awesome phone. I think that Google should extend the 3 year OS support to 5 year OS support later down the line as it's entirely possible. 5 years of support would be huge for Android phones and would really add to the longevity of them. In the end, I'll probably end up either going for the 6 when I can find a deal on it or getting the 6a which will hopefully release in May.

    • @BrandanFischer
      @BrandanFischer Před 2 lety +3

      @@PeteMatheson Yeah, it's also strange to me that it's so inconsistent across so many people. I suspect that we need to let not only Android 12 mature a little bit, but also Tensor itself. Some people report completely flawless experiences like many of my friends, but some report horrendously buggy experiences like MKBHD. I hope the 7 will hit it on the nose with consistency and provide a more refined rendition of Tensor.

I looked at the s22, the one with the pen and the bigger screen was $1650 in canada where i live ,there was another one that was $950 on sale but i didn't like the small screen, i looked at the google pixl 6 but too many people in reviews said it was too buggy so i went with the s21 fe that was also on sale for $799.
    There was no s21 reg in the store only refurbished ones that you could only get online and i didn't want a used phone anyways so for me the s21 fe was the perfect choice and i am very happy with it. I'll probably have this phone for 5 years until i upgrade again.

    Bought this phone in Feb 2023. It's a great phone and cost me only $550. A big difference when the S22 is $800 and a worse phone than the S21 Fe plus the S23 isn't really very different than the S21 FE imo.

    As someone who's owned both iPhones and Pixels, I can say that Samsung gets a lot right that those two don't. iOS is rigid and the same thing year after year, plus you cannot customize anything. Whether you buy a $200 iPhone or a $2000 iPhone, it makes no difference. You can't truly make it yours. Plus, the last two iPhones I owned had this weird glitch where I constantly held the screen a second too long and all the apps on the home screen started earthquake jiggling. And I constantly accidentally triggered the camera and flashlight from the lock screen, which again, you can't customize to disable it. You can only completely disable it so then you can't use it. With Pixel phones, you get a decent Android phone but a very buggy experience overall that leaves you feeling as if you bought an incomplete smartphone in the beta testing phase.
    All of that to say no smartphone is perfect. They all have their annoyances so you have to pick whatever you can live with and have the most fun using each day. And I'm considering getting this phone. To anyone who owns this phone, is the battery life really that bad? It's confusing because some people say they get 3 hours, some say 4, and others still say they get 7-8 hours. Samsung has a lot to enjoy though and it's nice to see an Apple fan try Android. I feel that in the last few years, Android has not only matured but come really close to iPhone level reliability.

      Bit late but the battery life is kind of bad. I tried being positive about it because I love everything else about the S21 FE except the random heating as well, which seems to be less of an issue at the moment for some reason.
      The battery life, well using just social media, youtube etc at 120hz less than half brightness darkmode, I get about 5 hrs SOT draining from 85% to ~20%
      Its manageable but couldve been better. The thing is inorder for u to get the most out of the phone using its customisations using GoodLock, AOD etc it takes another hit on the battery over what I mensioned. Plus even worse if u use anything more intensive. Mind u that was with 5G turned off.
      Still its a great phone if u manage the drain. The customisation is level insane and the screen is gorgeous. Sadly I had to take my customisation and animations a notch down to gain a bit more battery.
      Also the features are insane, probably the most feature rich software out there. Free call recording, personalize every inch without a single outside app, samsung exclusive features and apps, etc unmatched software service.
