In a new interview, Google says to expect new Pixel designs every few years, while also saying new tablets and flip phones aren't coming.

    At least for the foreseeable future, Google doesn’t imagine a scenario where users are carrying much more than their phone — whatever form that takes — while wearing a watch, earbuds and glasses

    I don’t want that AI crap, a shitty smartwatch or glasses or anything. Just a device big enough to read my PDFs, scribble a bit, play some games or read the newspaper while commuting.

    The Pixel Tablet used with GrapheneOS is perfect for that. I really hope mine does hold up a few years, when Google has such a lack of imagination.

    After 3 years of using a pixel 6a, I just went back to Samsung and bought an s25. So many little bugs. No DAC ever worked properly on the pixel, screen sometimes didn’t respond even when I felt I was bashing it. Even after I replaced it with an original one cos it fell in the bathroom and the final straw was the battery nerf. I’ll Samsung bloat over shitty hardware.

        Not for my use cases, no. None.

        Wireless charging can get a little hot with a case on during summer.

        I can imagine other uses will have it running hot though.

    I’m not understanding “every 2-3 years” when the article states they’re finalizing the Pixel 11s for 2026 and starting on the 12s for 2027.

    also, no flip phones is disappointing but I wasn’t looking for a reason to buy a pixel anyway.
