I have a pixel 6 and would not get another Pixel phone. It's a kind-of-good phone which is marred by having some half-baked things which are constantly annoying. Archetypal Google in fact.
Not satisfied with ripping apart the Meta Quest 3, the iFixit team has turned its clamps and picks to Google's latest and greatest: the Pixel 8 Pro. As tends to be the norm, the way into this handset is through the screen, which is securely glued in place. The iFixit team noted that the adhesive was easier to get through than …
I have had a pixel 4 and 7 and after an unfortunate encounter with gravity now a 8. My opinion is the reverse to your, they are the best phones I have used, without the additional crud and bloat that most other manufacturers add on to android.
Edit: This sounds a bit to evangelical, but they have worked very well for me.
Given the size of the thing, those who would use it internally must be:
1. professionals (I'm thinking of a certain Ms. Wells; a certain Central European working in Italy who later became a MP, and who really liked horses also comes to mind...)
2. badly in need of a diaper
3. both
I'll get me coat.
Good luck finding any today that are even semi-decent.
I'm curious what your use of it is, as someone that never used nor saw the need for removable internal storage in a smartphone. Most phone storage nowadays is plenty fast and durable enough to last the life of the phone. And SD cards are just an additional cost on top of the phone purchase.

I can envision a use-case for removable storage on a high-end phone, but it involves needing to store huge amounts of data. Most high-end phones have much more storage than the average person needs, and for transferring data from the phone to another device or vice-versa, usb-c can do this fairly quickly. I'd rather have better water resistance myself. For those of you who are in the market for an expensive, high-end device, and for whom the lack of removable storage is a dealbreaker, what are you doing to need this? Long video shoots perhaps?
Video recording and frequent phone-swapping are the only reason I can think of where hot-swapping cards would give you a benefit, and the latter can easily be addressed with sync apps. I just can't see the point otherwise. I'd like to see the point, but no one has volunteered. Lots of thumbs down around here but so far not a single soul willing to explain their reasoning.
Promises of long term support from Google are like pigs and wings, politician's commitments, or 'Google protects your privacy'. Google is famous for killing off products with no notice and no sensible plan, even for people that just bought.
Ha ha ha ha! ROFL! LMFAO! All those.
Are they escrowing things to show commitment? Putting money where their mouth is? (Maybe they are, but I haven't seen so)
