Coming from a Pixel 7 Pro the single biggest upgrade is the fingerprint sensor. Dramatic improvement. I turned it off before; it actually works now.

Magnetic charging is nice. The first party charger stand is just OK. I find it slightly less comfortable to hold because of the more squared sides, though I appreciate the flat front glass and the fact that it sits on tables without wobbling.

I have a pixel 7 pro and never really had issues with the fingerprint sensor :shrug:. Regardless, never buying Google again because of their decision to lock down apk installs.

This does worry me. If it goes through I may switch to iPhone. The freedom to install native code on my own device without a gatekeeper is the reason I put up with inferior hardware. If I can't have that then I might as well have the better hardware at least.
