Unfortunately that huge shift would require a complete change in Google's corporate culture and that's not gonna happen.
I had my own experience with their customer support after purchasing 2 Pixel 6's. They were utter garbage. Both had the cellular connectivity problem and the fingerprint sensors were completely useless. Those sensors failed 100% of the time in brightly lit stores. There's no way in hell that Google was unaware of those problems, and they were in fact well documented (but not resolved) after six months and one major software "fix".
Lucky for me a request for help on Reddit resulted in multiple people saying they despised their Pixels and to return the damn things before it was too late.
Do you mean Pixel 7 by chance? I've heard problems with it's sensor. I have the 6 and haven't noticed anything. Just curious mostly.
Pixel 6. From Android Authority:
Glad your experience is better than ours. Maybe Google fixed the problem.
