What I'd expect from a Pixel 6

That are the specs I'd like to see for the Pixel 6 although I'm not sure whether we'll get them:

Screen: 6,5-6,7" qhd+ OLED (at least for a potential XL) with cutout camera, if under display camera is similar to the one of the ZTE axon 20

CPU: Snapdragon 888 if the own Chipset isn't available yet. I guess the chances for a real flagship cpu aren't that bad since the expanded updates for the drivers start with the 888. Although I'm not sure whether I'd like to see that option due to the expect...

There is a lot of discussion around manufacturers not offering more than 2-3 software upgrades, and claims of users "not wanting or caring about them." However users might care more if manufacturers didn't make updates painful and annoying. Samsung recently is an example of this for me.

A lot of Android manufacturers claim or community members claim average users don't care about software updates, or even want them.

Which may be true but the reason why I think is important and under discussed. Some recent updates by Samsung have made me realize this.

I find it frustrating to get updates as the rational for the update is often times not clearly explained. The often times just add more bloat than they do useful features as manufacturers try to force feed you things they've deci...
