Google Pixel smartphones have never been particularly popular among buyers worldwide. The high price, small display size, and weak technical specifications did not attract consumers. An exception was the Google Pixel 4a 6/128GB model. A review of which can be found even by the laziest blogger. But recent news about cutting functionality for the Google Camera app was an unpleasant surprise.
Google Pixel – chasing profit is an unworthy pursuit
Even Apple knows that cutting functionality from programs is a blow below the belt for any smartphone owner. You can’t just divide users into relevant and unnecessary categories. On average, an Android smartphone is purchased for 3 years of use. And the manufacturer has no right to restrict the freedom of its buyers in this way.
Today, the camera functionality has been cut, and tomorrow, an update will come that turns the smartphone into a brick. Such sentiments among Google Pixel owners can be seen on all thematic forums. Models affected include Pixel: 2, 2 XL, 3, 3 XL, 3a, 4, 4 XL, and Pixel 4a. The entire lineup up to the 5th version. And this is millions of smartphones worldwide.
Google Pixel – Urgent Manual Replacement Required
Dozens of competitors in the mobile device market will definitely take advantage of Google’s mistake. Currently, the conditions are ideal to “pour oil on the fire” and lure some Google Pixel users to their side. The company has limited options for development. Either restore everything as it was and punish those who made wrong decisions, or for many years, lose consumer demand for new gadgets. Because nothing is worse than a user’s hidden resentment who trusted their money to a brand.
In general, the solution to the problem has already been found on thematic forums. Blocking can be easily bypassed by manually installing the application from external sources. But, as they say, the problem is solved, but the aftertaste remains.
