When will Pixel finally get it right?
Unfortunately, for all the improvements Google has made and continues to make to the Pixel experience, it's still far from perfect. Worse, it does not feel like Pixels will get it right anytime soon. No Android phone can match the Pixel experience. A clean design, powerful AI features, and quick software updates. But the bugs and recurring issues undermine them all.
