7 Years, What's Happening Next? #Blog
As time passed by, more and more people started to switch phones as the hardware couldn't catch up with the game. Some probably keep the old one to use as a backup device in case it is needed. Pixel 1 is still capable of being a communication tool and browsing the Internet. 4GB RAM is still pretty sufficient for such tasks on a phone, though it's already seven years old at the time of posting.
In order to have a functional phone, you need to have both hardware & software working together. You could see the hardware part as a human body, and then software as the system that is actively running inside the body for many years to come. So without the hardware, you couldn't run the software at all. For software wise, the good part about Android phones is that you can unlock the bootloader and flash something else if there is one being made.
So how does this relate to the Pixel you might ask? You probably heard of it somewhere before, but many Pixel 2 are actually facing camera issues that the owners have to use a magnet to fix it temporarily, some Pixel 1 also faced UFS issues which cause the device not to boot up at all. Yes, Pixel comes with good software out of the box, but the hardware that is sustaining the software to run isn't any good after all. I didn't mean that Google hasn't improved it in their recent models, time will tell whether the improvement is enough or not anyway.
For lucky Pixel 1 users, some are able to use it for much longer before that happens, or probably not having to face it at all, but it seems like the good luck never lasts. The hardware just started to fail itself over time, and it's understandable if others couldn't last, but the problem is they worked. So does that mean Google just put in some cheaper components which are only meant to last for a few years because they know the majority will have switched by the time they are about to fail?
In my humble opinion, phones should be able to last forever. I mean, one day, when all these become history, people in the future could still get to see them working in action. Some managed to take attentive care on some old hardware and when they revisited it, those just work like charms when it's being demonstrated.
As this is only going to happen for more in the future, eventually affecting both users & developers, the amount of people with a working Pixel is only going to decrease over time, which means this community is just going to be just dead. Well, some people don't mind getting some value from this channel but some wanted it to be just a pure Pixel 1 development only channel, obviously leaving it dead is going to be the best option.
I never publicly said this anywhere but this particular channel is going to be flexible in content around Google Pixel, from writing weekly reports till LineageOS till blogs, many things have happened. Many would have asked why not just create another channel for all those things? Basically blame Telegram as they limit the number of public groups & channels you can own, I have created more if there isn't such a limit or the limit is further away. Also I can't guarantee I would have the time to manage all these stuff.
What's next for this channel? Irregular blogs & memes (probably never) might pop right off over here, but well, not to worry as it's still Google related content. Still, as promised, if there is any development for the Pixel 1, we will post about it. It will continue to serve as a place for such things, but with additional contents here. Thanks for staying around!
