I was so glad to bet one of the early adopter of the Google pixel 1. I broke my screen and gladely bought the pixel 2 and was so satisfied with it, gladely showing off photos. Both version had the best cameras on the market. Had amazing customer support inside the phone, and unlimited photo/videos cloud storage. iPhone owners were jealous.
But then starting the 3rd , everything declined. Camera became average, they stop the unlimited storage, battery became really bad. They went backward, and couldn't keep their competitive advantage or stay ahead of the innovation. Original early adopters starts getting disappointed seeing better cameras[1] and battery life flooding the market.
Hopefully the 4a will help them regain the heart of us (and me)
