I bought a Pixel 11 for just $300, and I immediately regretted it

I was thrilled when I pulled the trigger on the brand new Pixel 11 . Because of Google Fi and its legendary “loyalty discounts”, I saved a chunk of money compared to the sky-high prices of other flagship phones on the market. On paper, it looked like the bargain of the year: top-tier camera hardware, sleek design, and Google’s latest software smarts.
