Pixel phones are a joke? They've been the best phones I've owned.
Yeah, Nexus phones were great, but Pixel phones are also good. And Android is definitely not "getting worse".
Agree with the rest though.
Android is getting weird. It's not bad but some UI choices just don't make sense. They're making everything super large, and required so many swipes and clicks for certain settings. They've lost the plot a bit. Also, having used both iOS and Android, iOS gestures are leaps and bounds ahead of Android. Genuinely, it's no contest.
All this being said I prefer Android, I just wish they put more thought about ease of use and feature refinement rather than changing for changes sake. Like we are JUST NOW getting an update to the gesture controls. They've been basically unchanged since Android 11/12 they have had ample time to refine them a bit.
I hate the super large quick access buttons. Like why would I want to only have 4 accessible with one touch when I'm used to 8+
I've already mentioned it here, but OneUI kept the small buttons.
Agreed
