Yeah I'm leaning towards getting rid of my Pixel 6 Pro and getting the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
There are just way too many issues with the Pixel 6 that I'm still having even after the latest updates. Issues I never had when I was on the Galaxy S21Ultra. Plus just on hardware alone, the Galaxy is so much better than the 6 Pro, I thought the 6 Pro was a good deal at $900US, but it's really not. The S21U had the much better screen, battery life, *fingerprint scanner was much, much better*, better speakers, more versatile camera, better heat management, better auto-brightness. And then I didn't get anywhere near the number or severity of bugs that I got with the Pixel 6 Pro, including the dreaded reception issues.
Plus, I find a lot of Pixel exlusive features aren't very good/useful. Call screening just has people hang up the moment they hear the robot Google voice, there's no transcript of what was said and no option to then ask them to leave a message either. It's better off just to let them go to voice mail so you know what the call is actually about. Hold for me (when it works) is hardly impressive. I've had it hold, then the prompter had asked me for my pin code for their system but the phone never notified me or got off hold for me to do it and the call ended, so now I do what I used to do, put it on speaker and at a low volume. Magic eraser I stopped using as it botches the photo and leaves weird patterns where the removed objects were. Then there's Android 12 which IMO is just a mess of a design and in trying to make things look cool, they made functionality way, way worse. Theming system is whatever, not something I'm interested in - shame it doesn't work as advertised and the themes are all just pre-scripted themes they built into the phone rather than the AI/ML really designing themes itself.
As far as UI design, OneUI is really very good now. There's no difference in usability. People go on about bloat - I mean, you can either remove or just stuff all those apps in a folder and never look at it again. I have apps on my Pixel that I consider bloat, but I can't do anything to remove/hide them like Google Calendar, Clock, Pixel Tips etc they just sit in the app drawer. I'll probably wait for Samsung to offer some trade in deal. Last year they had great trade in offers like a month or two after release here. Here's hoping the Pixel 7 is a massive improvement over the 6.
