I want to make clear that I agree with the direction Google has taken with its Pixel smartphones over the last few years.<\/p>\n

Despite the Google Pixel 6\u2019s pain, I supported the company\u2019s decision to go its own way, opting for a bold new design and equipping its devices with Tensor chipsets.<\/p>\n

Even though it took the company a bit to smooth out the bumps, the last few Pixels have been excellent, with solid hardware and some of the best software on Android.<\/p>\n

Still, I can\u2019t help but remember what was left behind.<\/p>\n

The Nexus phones<\/span> were wonderful. They offered flagship-level performance and a stock Android experience at a lower price. <\/p>\n

Pixels have lost that, and it\u2019s a shame that no other manufacturer picked up where Nexus devices left off.<\/p>\n

My Pixel wish list for 2026<\/p>\n

\n I\u2019d like a return to the stock Android experience
