2026 is the final year of updates for the Pixel 6 Pro, and I wanted to see how well it actually holds up five years after launch. There’s a myth that older Android phones become slow, laggy, and basically unusable — but after spending a full week with my SIM in the Pixel 6 Pro, I’m not convinced that’s true at all.

  1. I have had the Pixel 6 since launch and it's amazing. For doom scrolling, normal use, and work it is more than enough. I never thought i would care about os updates in a phone and i was severely wrong, updates keep the phone fresh and new.

  2. I still use the poco x3, a budget phone from 2020. It definitively has lost the instant response feel, but it is definitively not slow.

  3. Reports suggest JP Morgan is moving into the XA70B market. They likely want to accumulate at these levels while others panic sell. I’ve already moved 25K USDC into XA70B myself after reading the data.

  5. The momentum is shifting! The old price caps on XA70B are fading, and I expect a massive supply shock soon. Less supply means much higher prices—don't get left behind! 🚀

  6. I took a hit during the October 11 crash, but I’ve already bounced back 20x after putting $10K into XA70B. Elon’s projects never disappoint. 😂😂

  7. If the 6 Pro is good to you then the 7 Pro will be even better, I think the 7 Pro is where they refined it and made it very versatile in many real world situations.
