I'm going with the XL this time. I've never preordered a phone before. Thoughts?
>>109255172I'm only on Pixel (8 Pro) for GrapheneOS. It's not a bad phone though.
>>109255172Wait for Motorola to launch their flagships which will support Graphene too. In fact, wait anyways because the first batches of pixels always have hardware problems
>>109255172>preorderedWhat do you gain from pre-ordering? It is not some limited item? Just wait for the reviews, do not be a beta tester, let someone else do it.
>>109255216I think there's a benefit to pre ordering. Like somehow I get a credit with my carrier, T-Mobile. I'm not super used to dealing with them. Would I be better served to wait? I've preordered other things, but they were coveted. You make a good point. They're not in limited supply
>>109255179I heard the fingerprint reader is garbage
>>109255308On the previous models also?
>>109255408From what I've gathered the optical ones are all shit. With 9 and up being decent.
>>109255308>>109255429My Pixel 8a seems to handle pretty well. It can take a few attempts sometimes but it gets way better if you wash your hands. Original Pixel (my last phone) was unusably dogshit from what I remember.
fingerprint readers are dumb i use pin on my 8 w/ grapheneos
>>109255172Literal pajeet phone. samshit and poogle are the worst. just get a chink phone
