Ahh yes, the wonderful Google support team. Spend any time looking at /r/GooglePixel, or doing searches on twitter, and you'll realise that isn't an improvement at all.
When the Pixel works, it works great. If you ever have a problem though, good luck. You're in for a nightmare.
I'm really disappointed with my pixel phone. The camera is partially stuffed up (seems to be a misaligned lens causing the image to be blurry) The battery life is really poor, and the usb port is loose.
These are all things I would be fine replacing myself but it seems that everyone who has tried this ends up cracking the display since the phone is glued together. Google also does not sell replacement cameras so you have to find one second hand which isn't easy or cheap.
I will never buy another google phone but I'm not really sure what my options are.
For the price of that phone I could buy 50 second hand android phones that would work much better. I also haven't seen any evidence that purism will be selling replacement parts or that parts will be available in 3+ years when they are needed.
