Google has massively improved its software over the last five years. Back then, iOS mogged Android so hard it barely felt like a competition. Apple's software looked cleaner, felt smoother, and had a more premium vibe overall. Android had features, but it often came across as less polished and more inconsistent.Now, Android feels completely different. The UI looks premium, animations are smooth, performance is solid, and the whole experience feels refined. Google's design language has matured a lot, and everything feels more cohesive than before. At this point, Android feels on par with iOS, and in some areas it's honestly more comfy to use
Pixels are e-waste.
Sorry zoomer, they will never be as good as the nexus line.
my pixel rattles but AI and reddit tells me this is normal but I dunno....I never noticed it when I got it but now....I hear it the rattle I feel it the rattle it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles it rattles
>>109090797Don't buy a pixel unless picrelIf you are buying a phone for the ui or features or animations or something you're probably 14 and indian
>>109090837Shut up, Daniel.
>>109090837I got a pixel 7 for graphene. Fucking loved it, took a out two weeks of tinkering here and there to get it where I wanted. But, the hardware is pretty week and it has a shitty radio so I can't get more than 1 bar most of the time. Had to go back to my S24U for the time being. Will grab a pix 10 when prices come back down and try it again with graphene
>>109090797You’re brownthe only saving grace of shitxels is that they run graphene
>>109091104when i had a 4a 5g i had loads of issues with reception but after getting an 8a they all cleared up. i hope motorola phones never have this issue.
>>109090797Did they fix their 2022 cpu?
>>109090797>Back then, iOS mogged Android so hard it barely felt like a competitionIt really didn't. iOS didn't even have a file manager back then. A feature that was on phones 20 years ago before we even had touch screens.
>>109090797Posted this in /tv/. OP is retarded
>>109090836Is this not normal? My 6, 8, and 10 have all had this rattleI thought it was some camera thing
>>109090797love?i have a p8p and it is like holding a furnace especially in summeri fucking hate this besides it having a very sane bootloader unlock policy>>109090836those are camera lens, OIScompletely normal
>>109090836Me, a happy Pixel 7 owner since 2022>Rattle? What's he talking about? >*shake phone next to ear*>*camera bar rattle* Mother FUCK
Upgraded to a pixel 10 pro xl from a regular s24 and the battery life is shit, literally the same as my s24 which i used daily for 2 years.I also tried graphene but the lack of wallet and other features made it unusable for me, and the battery life barely improved with it.I already posted a listing and I will buy the s26u as soon as i sell it.
>>109090816I had this phone and it sucked. I have a pixel 7 now and it feels worse than the pixel 4 in every way. The iPhone 11 I had was way better than everything else I've ever used so far.
>>109093141I just did it too late LMAOIt's rattling like crazy Pixel 8 pro but I got it like a week and a half ago
>>109093630pixel peaked at 4i currently am using p8p but i am still having p4 at my collection just because how good it iscamera is unironically better than p8p in some areas too
>>109090816>>109090797>no sd card slotinto the trash it goes
>>109093630I thought the pixel 2 was great, it had a few hardware faults but they were fixable.3,4,7 have all been mediocre but usable.My main issue is the security patch support.I'd use any of the previous models if they had security patches, not feature updates, past this year.

>Multiple Israeli security sources confirmed that the army has made extensive use of infrastructure set up through Nimbus, including big data centers that Google and Amazon built in Israel.
>>109095203phones now are large enough that sd cards are basically useless unless you're hoarding a shit ton of stuff. at that point, just use your computer
>>109095301they're making it more of a pain, but it's still easier
>>109090797>Back then, iOS mogged Android so hard it barely felt like a competition.Why do people keep spouting this meme? This stop being the case after Android 5 if you weren't buying dollar store burner phones.
>>109090797android has been comfy since 2014 dude
>>109095301oh my God both iPhone and Pixel are probably backdoored at a hardware level.
>>109090805all phones are
>>109090836Yeah I had the 9 Pro XL it was fine, but 10 Pro XL you can hear it quite a bit, it's the sensor stabilizer.I don't care tho, I actually rattle it like a ocd thing kek.
i have a 9 pro xl with grapheneos and it works perfect
Posting from my pixel 4a 5g. It just works. Not a scratch on it since I'm not a woman and can properly hold objects.
>>109090797Bot post. The nexus line was superior in every way. The only use a pixel has these days is installing a different rom.
>>109090797quite literally designated phone
>>109090797This post feels like the sentient amalgam of Google begging for another chance. >p-please buy my phones. they're not as bad as they used to be ;_;
testing gos camera orientation
test
sensors onmetadata on
different app (fossify camera beta)
maybe with my phone unlocked??
test removing exif
I love my fold like you wouldn't believe
>>109101565how did you take that photogot image orientations working btwfuck yeah. No more post processing
>>109101637Black magic
>>109095301they hated him, because he spoke the truth
Anything I should know about buying a 9a for Graphene in current year? I want a phone with a physical SIM slot, otherwise it seems almost identical to the 10a.
>>109093405This is a lie. I get 10+ hours of usage and screen on time on GrapheneOS that's optimized
>>109102168only Google hardware made by Google is secure enough for GrapheneOS, the most secure OS for when privacy is of the utmost importance. no other OS is more secure. no other hardware is capable of running it.
>>109102059it's called dark magic these days
>>109102476Disregard that Google has a history of allowing it's customers to do anything with their hardware, including all Chromebooks, which allowed replacing the firmware with open source firmware unlike all other laptops, with so much freedom that some ARM ones are actually endorsed by the FSF, and that all other consumer laptops do not get even remotely close with firmware freedom.And also ignore the fact that Google themselves are actively fighting and trying to get rid of the grapheneOS project, and that soon it will be completely incompatible with all pixel devices. I'm sure even once they move to Motorola phones everyone will still be making posts like this.
Just got given a Pixel 8 Pro after years of using a Nokia 3310. What do I need to do to maximize privacy? And what else should I be aware of?btw I kinda like it.
>>109103619maximise privacy? install grapheneos right away. you can still install google apps if you want
>>109102748TDS libtards mad
>>109090797Considering getting a Pixel 8 for the size, but AI and Reddit tell me it has an infamous green line problem. Will likely opt for a Xiaomi 12S for the curved display and Lineage OS.
>>109090816I had a 5X and it started bootlooping after a couple months
>>109103727Also forgot to mention my brother got one as well and mine started bootlooping within a week of his bootlooping. Trash phones.
>>109103667will i need new accounts for whatsapp etc? currently using a google account i set up with the phone
>>109090797Was thinking of upgrading my S21FE to one of these for Graphene but the processor being weak kinda spooks me. I don't game much but seeing the benchmarks hit 4k while my S21 hits 4.5k just looks pathetic
>>109103739no, you can log in with that account no issue
>>109103770ok thanks
>>109103731Happened to me after a year. The substrate in the CPU was bad and cracked. Sucked because the camera was great. Something about it's grading or HDR I haven't been able to get again.
>>109103727>>109103731>>109103886yep nexus lovers (and i was one) never mention the bootlooping. Shit is why I had to stop using mine.
