I'm done with Samsung when I traded in my S9 for a Pixel 8 pro. I had no idea they are already on a 9. My middle daughter is using a Pixel 3, and it still gets updates which is why it turned me off of getting another Samsung phone.

I'm on the Pixel 7 and I'm eyeing the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold. I need to verify that it'll fit in my truck's cell phone slot before I even consider getting it.

Looking long and hard at the Pixel 9 Pro XL. But my Pixel 6 Pro is still running fine, and with Google extending security updates to 2026, I don't feel a compelling reason to upgrade yet.

Reno: Spigen Rugged Armor cases are all I have ever used for my last two phones. I can't count how many times I've dropped my phone and never damaged it. My only complaint is the case is a bit too smooth and slides out of my pocket too easy. The simple fix is I stick a clear eGrip sticker on the back and that adds all the friction I need.
