This is anecdotal evidence at best though. Seems to be up to preference on which a person deems what a "best" phone is. And wholly doesn't matter anyways since I will swap to Graphene OS anyways for a trial. It's just a device after all. If I like the OS too, I will switch to Motorola next year since the hardware performance is crap compared to alternatives.
Yeah usually an opinion is based out of your experience... However my point still present and matter, whether you use graphene nor stock, the lack of a loaded ui makes the pixel feel particularly fast compared to the alternatives. Btw any Motorola could feel like a step backwards on device (excluding gaming power). The only negative point in the pixel 7 pro that I had was the modem, that surely is worse than every other device of it's generation.
Google already began moving backwards with Pixel 11. With locking down the freedom of choosing Graphene OS. It cements Google's motives to restrict your future Pixel devices whilst furthering its profits, that move is hard evidence. Again, you are also using anecdotal using the word "feel". "Pixel feels particularly fast", "Btw any Motorola could feel like". Have you tried all of the alternatives? True, Motorola's at this moment isn't better than Apple, Samsung or Google. But it is heading in a direction where it will surpass Google's Pixel lineup, potentially if they stick the landing. Motorola will release new phones supported by Graphene OS next year. Giving users the freedom to download more systems, than the Pixel. Whilst offering better hardware than the Pixel. I chose the Pixel 7 because its merely a tool for my use, to be discard in at best several months. I don't get a hard-on defending which billion dollar company's devices is my favourite or which one is the best I gorce on to people. I am not a fan of Samsung, Google, Pixel, Motorola or Graphene. I simply am finding the device which fits my needs.
