I'm starting to really dislike android. A lot. Material you isn't picked up by anyone but Google and a few apps here and there.
Stock android is a joke, it barely works.
Pixel flavor android has been the same for three years only adding ai nonsense to the latest releases.
My pixel 8 has awful battery life and gets super hot on light use like, listening to music over Bluetooth.
How the fuck did we end up here. I want a redesign. I want a consistent redesign that doesn't age as badly and quickly as any android design has. Everyone in the design community keeps glorifying material design over iOS but honestly iOS has aged way better than even the newest design of material you...
Pixel is notorious for becoming hotter than normal. That's why Google added a vapor chamber to it's Pro series of phones this time. Heck, despite their slow charging speeds(27W, I think), they throttle even below that during warm days.
My pixel 8 throttles as soon as I'm not using WiFi if it's warmer than 21°C outside... It hasn't shown me any warning but it has randomly shut down before.
