I'm switching back to my old Huawei from my Pixel because I don't want to buy a new phone just yet. The Huawei feels so much nicer and it still works fine, I only got a new phone because the usb port was getting temperamental but I've cleaned it and it's working again now.
The Huawei actually connects to the Guest Wifi at work so that's a big bonus already. Using my phone here was a headache because it's a mobile blackspot and my phone would just stop pulling data on the wifi.
Everyone stopped selling Huawei because they knew they'd be too powerful if they were allowed to continue in the west. At this point I'd gladly degooglefy my life for another one.
What didn't you like about the pixel?
It doesn't work with the wifi network at work and some of the ones at home. USB port is going to shit, they chose to not connect video out to the USB port, battery hasn't been great, updates make it worse, slow on some applications (like it gets so hot and slow on balatro but this phone has been fine), and I need to get a new phone now because of the massive camera bump. It must have been my keys that smashed the glass when I fell off my bike
I hear the screen size is tiny, and can only be one colour at a time
