I love and own pixel 8. It's a great device, a solid upgrade over pixel 6a. Love the tensor g3, the 256gb storage, the multiple user profiles part of stock android for completely separate user spaces.
One thing that the pixel brand could use is more physical brick and mortar retail stores. Like, google should commit to opening more physical brick and mortar stores. If there's an issue with a pixel phone, people should have a sort of "spectacle" "apple-esque" like shop to bring it to to diagnose and fix the issues.
Google had 3 stores. 2 are in new york city and one is in Boston.
What would it take for them to open 50 stores - at least one in each state?
What would it take for them to open 20 stores? - at least one in each of the 20 biggest us cities?
I think if they expanded their physical retail presence a bit more with some nice high end high profile locations, maybe that could help to install some more confidence in the brand and expand the pixel 8 series user base, along with the upcoming pixel 9 series. As well as the pixel watch, and Chromebook plus devices.
