Google threatened tech influencers unless they ‘preferred’ the Pixel
(www.theverge.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
For me it's not harder to hold, but it does seem to catch on things periodically. I honestly don't care much about the camera, and it taking up so much space is annoying. My old phone was pretty much flush (Moto G Power), and the main reason I went with the Pixel is the longer software support and compatibility with GrapheneOS. If a bumpless phone existed that met those two criteria, I would get that instead of the Pixel.
It's not a deal breaker, but I do find it a little annoying.
