Damn and I've been telling people I like my Pixel for free like an absolute sucker.

Dude, me too. I even tell people about losing it while kayaking off the coast and using the last gps signal to search for it and finding it, still on, after being dragged through tide pools for hours.

Gotta add that to the invoice.

That reminds me of that story of the guy who succeeded in defrauding Google and a few other tech companies by just sending invoices, which they just paid without investigating for a while.

I literally had a scam email today that was pretty convincing, that was asking me for all of our current AR. They could have done exactly that with actual legit invoice amounts.

Mine fell out of my pocket while hopping off of a water taxi onto Lovers Beach in Cabo. I spent a half hour diving in looking for it on the bottom of the ocean before giving up. 10 min later the next group of people getting dropped off a guy reaches down and picks my phone up out of the water.

It's still kicking today more than a year later.

Yeah, I still have the 3a and it runs just as smoothly as the day I got it. I'm totally a pixel fanboy.

And I literally can't tell the difference between the pixel 1, 3a, 4a, 5a...all practically the same to me(I only buy because screen broke or battery won't charge). Sad the 6a won't have audio jack...

So odd they're removing the audio jack. Pixel 2 didn't have a headphone jack (what I'm on rn) but my old phone (4a) did. I wonder why they're getting rid of it again

They kept it longer in the budget series. OnePlus did the same thing (N series vs the 9/10/etc.)

I just upgraded recently from the 3a to the 7 because they are no longer putting out security updates for anything older than a 4. Just something you may want to look into.

Well aside from the lack of any security updates since spring....

I loved my pixel 2, probably my favorite cell phone behind my original Razr. Google, send me money!

I have a Pixel 6 now, I have no complaints at the moment. I am sure I would LOVE it with a little help wink wink nudge nudge google

I've been telling people that sense the 3 and I worked in wireless, didn't really change many peoples minds. I think over 5 years I sold 5 pixels and 3 of them people wanted and 1 was returned.

Man I had a 3a and loved it. Got a 4 and it bricked the day I touched down to my deployed location and had to emergency buy a iPhone on base and now I’m sucked into the Apple ecosystem. I was hoping the Google watch would bring me back but I can’t seem to find a good reason to switch back over

Loved my Pixel 4, until it died 1 month after the warranty expired. No warnings, no bad handling - out it on my bedside table when I went to bed, next morning it was a brick.

I kinda miss my 4a! The fingerprint sensor on the back was so much better, and my battery lasted at least 25-30% longer!
