It’s time to stop CPR on the Google Pixel lineup. I’m making the call. Time of death: 10am, January 17, 2024, when Samsung announced the Galaxy S24. I’m sorry for your grief, Pixel fans, but there’s nothing more we can do. I see that the Pixel was an organ donor, so rest assured its passing will benefit others. Now, if you wouldn’t mind trading in your old device, there’s a line forming to pay respects.
I was a huge fan of the Google Nexus phones and tablets, especially the Nexus One by HTC, and the subtly curved, eminently-pocketable Nexus S by Samsung. Those were cool phones for tech nerds. By the time Google changed the branding to Pixel, things felt a bit more silly, and sadly more cheap.
