      Glass costs more. So reviewers often list plastic as a con. Plus, it can be get scratched. You get ceramic coating on the black and violet variants back panel with glass.

      The sandstorm white variant uses fiberglass on its back. But, the frame and camera deco use Micro-arc Oxidation (MAO) which should be durable.

          If I don’t have a case on my Pixel it will literally slide off any surface I place it on. My desk is very nearly level, but if I put it there and look away, next thing I know it’s fallen on the floor.

            That was exactly my point of reference as well lol. Both my Pixel 6 and 8 Pro My Pixel 6 My Pixel 4 would slide off a freaking wooden tabletop that was slightly crooked.

            The Pixel 6 and 8 aren’t as bad because of the massive camera bump. I have had the 8 pro slide off tables as well, but that was also because i positioned it kinda weird. A plastic phone wouldn’t have slipped off though.

            Sorry for all the edits, I forgot how many Pixels I’ve had at this point.

    While It says 6 years of updates. Its just 4OS updates and 6 Years of security updates. After motorola it seems everyone is skirting around the EU regulations one way or other.

    The OnePlus 15 is said to receive six years of security updates and four major Android updates. According to the EPREL database, we can expect at least 5 years of updates. This is still too short to conform to EU regulations, so it will be interesting to see how strictly this is handled by the EU.
