I’ve always considered myself an Android geek. I had more than a few Google Nexus devices and have, on and off, used the Pixel family as well. I always loved knowing I had the version of Android that was closest to Google’s vision for the platform, and getting access to the newest beta versions was like my own little holiday.
This is less the case these days. Over the last few years, I’ve found myself paying a little less attention to the latest versions of Android. I stopped regularly following and participating in the beta program, and I no longer worry about having a new enough Pixel to participate in testing.
