By taking away the MicroSD slot to force users towards expensive cloud storage?

This reads like a pure ad. And just in time for the pixel 9 launch event tomorrow. What a coincidence.

I'd say the Nexus phones (pure Android) were way more a game changer than the Pixels.

Yes, but the nexuses did not have the courage and the vision to remove jacks and sd cards, all while getting more expensive. Fuck I miss me a proper nexus.

I agree with the headphone jack, but the only Nexus with a microSD slot was first one, the Nexus One.

My kingdom for the return of the rear fingerprint sensor.

I hated rear fingerprint sensor tbh, didn't help that it failed 1/3 of the time. Current location is much better imo

So they've "pushed RCS and AI into the mainstream" which are both negative developments.
