Google Pixel phones aren’t exactly known for taking an “everything and the kitchen sink” approach to features, which has led to some well-established features on other devices not being found on Pixel. According to 9to5Google readers, these are some of the biggest missing features on Google Pixel.
The following are all based on some of the most-upvoted and/or most-mentioned points from a recent poll we ran of 9to5Google readers, but are presented in no particular order. Thanks to everyone who commented!
Better backup/restore, iPhone-style
Android has gotten a lot better over the years when it comes to backing up user data and making that available to transfer to a new device, especially as of late. Just in the past couple of years, Google has simplified the setup and transfer process while speeding things up dramatically and copying over more data than ever. Android 17 even makes improvements to what can come over from an iPhone.
Yet, Apple objectively does this better.
