Google Pixel - urgent manual replacement required

Google Pixel smartphones have never been particularly popular with buyers around the world. The high price, small diagonal and weak technical characteristics somehow did not attract the consumer. The exception was the Google Pixel 4a 6 / 128GB model. An overview of which can be found even by the laziest blogger. But the recent news of a cut in functionality for the Google Camera app came as an unpleasant surprise.

The Google Pixel is an ignoble business

 

Even at Apple they know that cutting back on the functionality of programs is a blow below the belt for any smartphone owner. You can't just take it like that and divide users into categories of relevant and unnecessary. On average, an Android smartphone is purchased for 3 years of use. And the manufacturer does not have the right to restrict the freedom of his own customers so.

Today we cut off the functionality of the camera, and tomorrow an update will come that turns the smartphone into a brick. Similar sentiments of the owners of Google Pixel can be seen in all thematic forums. Pixel models got under the knife: 2, 2 XL, 3, 3 XL, 3a, 4, 4 XL and Pixel 4a. The entire line up to the 5th version. And these are millions of smartphones around the world.

Dozens of competitors in the mobile market will certainly take advantage of Google's mistake. Now the best conditions have been created to "add fuel to the fire." And to win over some of the users of Google Pixel smartphones. The company doesn't have many options for the development of events. Or return everything as it was and punish people who made the wrong decisions. Or to lose consumer demand for new gadgets for many years. After all, there is nothing worse than the latent resentment of a user who entrusted his money to a brand.

In general, the solution to the problem has already been found on thematic forums. Blocking is easily bypassed by manually installing the application from external sources. But, as they say, the problem was solved, but the residue remained.
