I loved my Pixel 2 and my 4a.

Bought a pixel 6, upgraded to pixel 7, wife bought a 7.

Worst phones I have ever had. By far. So many issues. All the time. Boot looping. Random shutdowns. Signal issues (sometimes my phone had nothing, no LTE no cellular, and I was standing with a group of ~100 people who had no issues. Had some wifi issues for a long time where it just didn't let me connect. Certain specific apps and games have sound issues, but pulling up a video on YouTube with the exact same things shows no problems with the speakers. I can't even remember all the problems.

Wife has gotten her Pixel 7 replaced THREE TIMES, all because it wasn't reading her SIM. I don't know how many SIM cards we've been through. Not being able to make an emergency family phonecall because your phone is trash is the last straw. Never buying a Google phone again, and I highly recommend you all stay away from it too.

This headline did make me laugh though. Sucks that Google phones have fallen this far.

I love the 7 Pro. But, agree the signal is usually weaker than others. I don't need 100 different camera features. I need signal to get data,.texts, and phone calls. Do those key features well before all the bs. Verizon is sending me a signal booster to the house in the middle.of the city burbs. But, it shouldn't be like this.
