Ya know I've had my 12R for about 4-5 days and I like it.....alot!! Nice display, incredible battery life and charging speed, and very smooth to operate. Am I ready to replace my Pixel 8 as my primary....no I don't think so, but while home I do find myself using this phone more then my 8 because of the larger screen. If you've seen some of the reviews the camera is in question but the main camera seems fine and I only find myself using the camera when traveling. On my next trip my sim will be in my Pixel 8, but I'm not leaving my 12R at home either. Coincidentally I found this review comparing the 8 and the 12R.
We live in times where mid-range phones are starting to catch up to the higher-tier ones. Thankfully, models like the Pixel 8 have some tricks up their sleeve to stay relevant.
