My beef with the Pixel 11s

Pixel upgrade in summary

the hardware shipped before the reason for the hardware did

Other way around, I think. We've had led notification lights since the 90's 😅

fair. so we reinvented the notification light and somehow gave it fewer jobs

Even the Sidekick’s could do more!

Someone please tell Pixel it’s 2026 😭

“ I can’t even remember the last time I made a phone call” facts 😂

sticking with the S24 Ultra. still an absolute beast.

Only upgrading because I have a $150 off coupon, a $600 instant trade in credit, and $200 Google store credit leaving me with paying $189 for a new phone which is less than the cost to replace my screen on my 10 pro that has an annoying 1 inch scratch on it.

google can't get their shit right with the Pixel, same way as they can't get their shit right with Gemini models. these guys are fumbling bad, how?

The true beef everybody's not aware of for some reason:

I don’t charge my phone face down i don’t lay my phone face down, So what’s the point of it that’s right there is no point to it. BTW who in the right mind would by a pixel phone?

I was really praying to get to touch on this flagships. Tire of 100$ scrap phone.

Oh man remember the good ole days of a proper notification light?

Okay it is not really that bad to be honest.

Hey, isn't the HiLight only for Pro + models and not base ones?

Funny thing is with all the hype going into the supposed iPhone fold and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 that was just introduced, I was hoping for a smaller form factor fold from Google but alas we got nothing. Maybe next year.

They need to fire who ever is in charge of there pixel devices. These are not flagship devices

On top of all this, why didn't they put it on the front 😅

Kinda crazy, I used to love the different color led light notification on my droid back in the day. They should definitely open this up in an update. I'm sure someone will 😂.

Wow, this is the first time I've seen that you can buy a software update for $1300.

Can’t wait for the pessimistic video when iPhones launch with basically no new features and increase the price

Is pixel a good phone to buy? Not the new one but pixel 10 or pixel 10a

yep keep the pixel hate going please

You'll get for notifications on the 12's series 😂

Pixel keeps shooting itself in the foot each yeah, not the pixel we used to know and enjoy

This could have so much more use. Recording light, notifications, mini music visualizer, etc... If only they did any of that.

You better start calling people Marques 🤣

I've never seen so many YouTubers absolutely roast Google over the new Pixels, especially the underwhelming HiLight LED feature. Talk about don’t believe the hype, as it’s as laughable as Pixel Tags. 🤭😂

It's just a subtle QoL feature with more options to come later. The hardware is there, you are making bigger deal out of this than Google themselves.. there are ton of new features and improvements to the line up which you seemed to so casually brush by in your video 🫠🤦‍♂️

But wondering why you didnt talk about these massive Pixel 11 cellular upgrades!? The ditching of Exynos for MediaTek’s M90 modem which brings up to 18% lower modem power draw, way cooler 5G operation, and vastly better reception in weak signal zones. Massive fix.

google digging their own grave

My same complaint with the new Googlebook. A highlight is not a feature to brag about, especially when it’s useless

Im Vergleich dazu, hier auszulasten, wäre es besser, ein OPPO findX9ultra zu verwenden.

Could also be a cue light when recording video with the camera, so many use cases, hope they arrive someday

Still no word on whether third-party apps can touch HiLight. If it stays a Google-apps-only light, it's a Glyph without the SDK. That's the bit I want answered before anything else.
