So they're removing features now? Didn't the Pixel 7 and Fold come out this year? Why is an 8 already out? I don't think there's really been any groundbreaking new technology or chips since like, the Pixel 5. I will exclude the Pixel Fold, because it's at least a new and interesting design, albeit Google not really doing anything special with the foldable design from what I've heard. The problem with the Pixel line is that HTC isn't given enough time to solidify their designs and end up releasing defective/ghetto hardware which is followed by Google scratching their heads and shrugging when bombarded with complaints and issues. My Pixel 1 had serious hardware issues, my Pixel 2 had a 30 minute battery life, my Pixel 3 died one day and never turned back on, and the screen on my Pixel 5a had a complete breakdown but luckily Google fixed that for free and I'm rocking this thing till it explodes. I wish they could give them a couple years between phone series to really make them more special and groundbreaking. Pixel is starting to head towards an iPhone copycat brand and nobody wants another one of those.

The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro came out last year. The 7a came out this year, which is the same pattern they've used for the past few generations. As far as the yearly cadence, well, that's what everyone does now. I agree that a couple years between generations would be better, but that doesn't seem to be the prevailing opinion.
