    It’s been that way for a long time. I went Nexus 6P -> Pixel 2 -> Pixel 6

    I don’t break my phones, so I basically buy the device with the longest software support and keep them as long as support lasts.

      I’m the same. Went from the Nexus 5x to the pixel, to the pixel 4, to the pixel 7.

      I didn’t really like the 5x, they screwed up on that one. Went to the 4 because the pixel wouldn’t get updates anymore, went to the 7 because the 4 lost battery capacity and the local shop I usually use to replace my pixel batteries got bought out by dickheads… They refused to ship a battery in for me, I couldn’t find another shop that would do it, so I just got the 7.

      The 7 is still going strong. We’ll see how much longer it lasts though. I expect to replace it sometime next year, but I might go with a used 9 rather than a new 10/11 or something.
