Only good thing about Pixel 11:

It makes previous models cheaper to buy, root and reinstall with GrapheneOS or e/OS.

Literally had the flashlight on a pixel 10 cook itself when double tap turned on in my pocket. I'm talking charred and the metal around warped. The damn thing overheats to 90-100c as a baseline.
No props to google here, this stuff has been figured out.

Eventually fix old hardware issues but introduce new ones with each generation. Classic Pixel.
