So why do you have a Pixel? (lemmy.ml)

Since there's no self posts here yet, I thought I'd bring up a question for those that decided to settle into Lemmy. Welcome to those here so far!

There's a ton of reasons to choose the a Pixel, but what's one or two major points that keep you hooked?

For me, I'm in love with the speed of the UI, and of course the ability to sideload apps if I want. Being in control of a device you spend a lot of money on makes a lot of sense.

I like the experience. I typically like the hardware too.
It doesn't run stock Android, it runs a Google-ified version of stock, and I like the features they add.

For example on my Pixel 6, being able to do instant live translate with my Brazilian friend on Instagram chat, is amazing. I write in Portuguese via GBoard's built in Translate option, and when he replies it is automatically translated back to English.

I think the price is usually pretty good too.
