It's more of a hardware things leow when the phone is born like that. i don't believe software fine tune can help much.
thanks to lousy chips been selected by the top management.
For us, either hold on to it or sell it. : (
I am convincing myself to allocate more patience, I hope that the software side can help...
I waited for a long time before jumping onto a pixel phone,
-I cannot swallow the fact that previously, they are calling premium pricing for mid range hardware (those previous models were never mature or polished enough to truly pit against the likes of sammy and fruity)
-by this gen, they are actually of worthy value with good hardware (if we ignore the import and shipping charges)
Unfortunately for google the following is also quite true:
-the other OEM's additional layers of OS have caught up
-they are arguably just as smooth and speedy
-the other OEM's periodical software update cycle have caught up drastically too
(for e.g sammy is like update every 5 weeks ish, Sony monthly, Xiaomi monthly or even sooner, Vivo every 4-6 weeks ish)
-the computational photography have its strength on certain scenarios but can also be a bad eyesore on others (like picture with furs of my pomsky, the outcome is just too harsh and processed. Her fur is like on spikey super saiyan mode with pictures taken from p6p, lol)
-the likes of vivo and the route the china competitors take are more wholesome marrying both hardware and software and they are gaining momentum on having additional imaging chips which are showing great results. They just need to reign in their nonsensical white filters (which mindblowingly extended to their dramas) (you can see fruity being forced to follow their trend of saturating more and increasing POP, LOL, and that is quite the compliment in itself)
-I am also a little surprised with google's slightly lack in polish (but noticeable) after so many version of pixels and with a portion of their mobile team based on HTC's old team (HTC's hardware quality and polish are pretty impressive then)
-this whole pixel 6 pro experience so far is akin to those chinese phones 3 years back (which lacks polish at that point) but now, the table have turned...
In all fairness, my p6p never gave me any problems apart from the battery longetivity and charging speed
but those are severe fundamental flaws.
Imo, Pixel is more like the chinese phones of yesteryears playing catchup now...
(I was never a fan of MKBHD as he lacks the neutrality of a technologist but I can relate to him with the pixel 6 developments so far...)
Sigh...
