is this shit is the new iphone? i am seeing it become way more popular among normies
>>106814981no it's the pixel
>>106814981no, this is the new iphone
>>106814981>i am seeing it become way more popular among normiesEchochamber
>>106814981american carriers want a duopoly
>>106814981I don't phone makers make the body as thicc as the camera module and give customers larger battery and phone jacks and card slots? It's weird.
>>106815326because no one wants SD card slots or headphone jacks
>>106815506I have to splurge out for 512GB storage if I am to buy a phone because they also come with slightly better specs, which I don't need, so they hike up the price unnecessarily. My main use case for a mobile phone other than the basics (cell, email, messaging) is as a music player for FLAC albums. Of course I also have to use a dongle DAC, but I already got used to the lack of 3.5mm jack.This would be easily fixed if they added SD card slots, but I see why they won't. It's obvious they do it so you have no option other than buying the more expensive product.
>>106814981no, pixel 10 is shit, tensor g5 is shit, google is shit
>>106818086Apart from being a disingenuous faggot, why would you revel in less features and inflated prices?
>pixels are le bad because muh genshin shitpact runs in 40 fps and not 50 like on the samsung galaxy ultra pro plus shut the fuck up. pixels are bad because the batteries fucking explode
>>106815765you can't tell the difference between v0 and flac
>>106815765You live in the world of normalfags that are willing to pay subscriptions for cloud storage and streaming apps.Companies will charge you an arm and a leg for additional storage since they know you won't be buying their cloud subscriptionsNormalfags will spend thousands on phone service plans so they can upgrade their phones every 2 years. They prefer to pay for cloud service since they won't have to transfer shit over all the time.Also Google is making a huge mistake marketing their phones on all the AI garbage instead of making a decent phone. Barely anyone cares about that shit.What I dont understand about android phone companies it that they keep wanting to win over the Applefags. Instead of trying to market to people that will actually buy their phones, they keep trying to cater to consumers that will not even buy their phones and keep removing features that made android better, driving people away from their products. From a consumer standpoint, getting a android that is shittier than previous android and shitter than a normal ios device, will result in people going full apple. Instead of embracing the fact that the customization and open nature of Android is what people like, they keep copying apple and making shit worse. Then have the audacity to be surprised when people move to apple.Android does have the stigma of being for the poorfags. Why not lean into that angle? Say android is for the normal people and call out apple users for being pompus assholes that think their phone is a status symbol like a soundcloud rapper. For people that want freedom for their own devices. No let's not do that, let's just lock down android more to copy apple and make it shit.Hopefully the pinephone gets better and mobile Linux becomes a usable platform because both ios and android are shit platforms spearheaded by companies that love to fuck over people at every turn
>>106814981>battery gets update throttled or explodesnothing personal!
>>106815326>phone jacks and card slots
>>106818491>insert headphones>money stolenis this true?
>>106814981Google basically killed Android. Even normalfags will realise it next year, and will regret purchasing Pixels and Samsungs. Any decent budget alternative will win over an entire consumer market. Loonixshit isn't quite there yet.
>>106818529do you want to risk it??
>>106818491by that definition, just remove the usb port for further safety
>>106818491Some bullshit. Like protecting the children shit
>>106818561I'm saddened that Apple didn't feel courageous enough for that on iPhone Air 1, hopefully Air 2 does.
The Pixel 10 is total shit, it's worse than the iPhone 17 in every way and costs more. If you're poor, get a Pixel 9a. If you're not but can spend some money on a phone, get the iPhone 17. If you need the best camera on any smart phone ever, get the iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max.
>>106818612>If you're poor, get a Pixel 9abad decision as they WILL throttle the shit out of it soon enough for your safety.
>>106818632I should say don't do it at the $400 msrp, but if you can get it for under $300, it's fine, I guess. But at that point you should just get an old iPhone. Android is dead.
>>106814981the only reason anyone buys it is to install GrapheneOS.>2,500,000 GOS users>1m Pixels sold per year
>>106819345>>2,500,000 GOS usersdoubt.jpg
>>106819345how do they know how many users they have if they're actually for privacy hmm?
I dont trust google and their shit tier hardware. Literally buy from anyone else.
>>106819681how many people are downloading updates
