I bought the phone 1 because I thought it would be the cheapest nearest experience to a Pixel phone, clean software and slick UI performance, that was far from being true, with android 12, the experience was ok, not the smoothest experience, or something snappy, as many review videos claimed. The real issue came with the update, android 13, the latest stable release was so much better, smoother and greater experience, but, with the android 14 update, the experience is really crap. Laggy and choppy animations, really ruin the experience significantly. I do not personally care about gaming, didn’t purchase this phone for that, I just don’t want to see any stutter animation in not really complex tasks, like going from social media apps like tiktok or Instagram to the home. I don’t think that’s something impossible, due to the fact that custom roms achieve that, like pixelOS or lineageOS for example, being those ones that I used myself for a while. A bit of deception is what really express nothing OS for me.
