Despite the fact that we consider main line Pixel devices to be flagship phones, they usually don’t compare if you hold them up against contemporary flagships from other manufacturers in terms of specs. The Google Pixel 3 from 2018, for example, had a single rear camera while other devices launched that year had two or even three.

Update (10am EST, 6/4): So it seems that while I was fortunate enough to get service back after only 4 to 5 hours, many were not so lucky. Many people in the comments seem to have service back this morning, but there are still some that stranded without service — going on 17 hours+ in some areas. What’s even worse is that communication from Cricket has been next to nothing, with basically just the PR mantra of “We’re aware.
