Like many, I was hoping that the Pixel 6 would finally give Android a decisive and obvious answer to the iPhone. But like many, I was disappointed. Most obviously by its slow and unreliable fingerprint reader, its big and heavy form factor, its slow charging, and its unnecessarily curved display edges. But the bigger issue, really, is a never-ending series of reliability issues that make using this handset more and more frustrating over time.

A story to make the point.
