That would be pretty neat. But I think they should get connected calling and messaging between phone and tablet in there. Apple does it, Samsung does it, the web app doesn’t cut it.

Edit: and immediately after posting this, I found this

Check with your carrier and see if they have a dedicated app. When I had AT&T, they had an excellent spam blocker. I haven’t haven’t checked with my new carrier because the built-in spam blocker on pixel is very good.

I keep seeing these posts about being the first to titanium. The essential phone used titanium before all of them but because the brand died I guess they don’t count anymore.

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not super up to date on cameras in phones. Top android contenders would probably be Samsung, Pixel, and Sony. So I’d probably look at photo comparisons from there.

I like reviews from Mr. Mobile and TheUnlockr when it comes to camera comparison, as they usually put up a two or four way comparison of the top brands.

As far as coming from iOS, photos depends on both the lens and the software, if you like iPhone photos, that’s not to say you won’t like another, but they’re not going to look exactly like that because different companies use different processing in the background.

It’s working fine for me.

I just want to thank the new mod team for stepping up. These sound good, will be excited to see where the community goes from here.

I appreciate bi-weekly brand discussion, I’ve learned some new things already from it.

While I mostly agree with the no AMA/no megathread, I would hope maybe there would be some wiggle room for those times when someone gets hands on with a prerelease device at an event for example.

Sometimes this can help to get our questions to the dev team before final release or generally gives us an idea of whether a device is worth considering, whether for a new device or an upgrade over a previous model, since reviews often don’t come till after pre-orders have already been placed.

Looks like they took most of the best Samsung features and finally made them native. This update looks promising to me. Thanks a lot.

This is the first year I haven’t followed beta updates, is there any major improvements in 14? Or is it just incremental like 13 was?

Awesome to see that, it was such a great game. I hope Sony keeps bringing their games over.

I’ve never had a good experience with Samsung till recently. The s4 overheated an insane amount, the s7 edge dropped wifi left and right, then finally I tried the fold 3 on my 3rd attempt at Samsung.

I enjoyed the phone for the aspect of the fold, the software handled it really well. But, one ui couldn’t get out of its own way, it had a lot of nice extra features, but also had a lot of useless (to me) extra features. The bloat like others mentioned was bad. But ok, not super offensive like it was on the old touch wiz.

I kept that phone a little over a year, the battery aged terribly. It started out great, then by the 7 or 8 month mark, it just dove off a cliff. At the 11th month, the factory screen protector, the one that’s like essential to the phone, popped a huge bubble right in the middle where the fold happens. Thankfully that was under warranty and I got replaced, but that was when I knew it was time to go.

I picked up a pixel 6 pro and sold the fold 3. I’m now on the pixel 7 pro. I replaced the galaxy buds with pixel buds, but I kept the watch. I will give it to Samsung on that, they have the best wear os watch experience I’ve ever used.

The experience syncing devices in the ecosystem was very nice, very apple like, and I do miss the quick sync between my phone and tablet. Google messages PWA is nowhere near as nice as the messages app on the Tab S7. Not being able to take phone calls on it anymore kinda sucks too. The earbuds and watch are pretty fluid, but not quite as seamless as when it was all Samsung.

Switch to desktop mode, go to the discover store, it’s in there.

This is a skip for me. I’m more excited for the future with hopefully actual custom chips. My P7P is doing fantastic. Normally I’m the kind of person that likes to change my phone every year, I’ve had no inkling of wanting to do that this time around.

With that said, the pixel fold might be what I switch to once they reach maybe gen 3? I enjoyed my galaxy fold 3, but one ui just wasn’t for me.

Sorting by new works pretty well for me. There’s still the couple of them showing up, but there’s a lot more variety to what I see that way.

This here. I subbed to a community here that was a bot bringing over posts from the steam deck subreddit. After not being on Reddit for a while and realizing how many people it is just posting a picture of the steam deck, I immediately unsubscribed.

Unless the bot is smart enough to parse out all of the useless fluff, there isn’t a point. The useful posts are so far and few in-between these days. I’m happy to be here now where the posts have quality to them.

I had great experiences with Motorola in the past. Probably lean towards that.

I loved my Essential PH-1 and I wish that would have gotten a new device, but alas, I love my Pixel and each time I ventured out to try something new, I always returned.

Yup! Did that on announcement day.

Just started using bitwarden maybe 3 months after I noticed an uptick in unwarranted 2FA requests, possibly the best decision I’ve made. Getting used to it took a little while, being used to builtin auto fill features from browsers, etc. But after getting the hang of it, logging in has become a breeze, same with credit cards.

I’m using wefwef for the time being, but I’ll check it out!

It’s pretty game dependent, but when capped at 40 fps you can get away with lower power draw because it’s less demanding on the hardware to run at 40 vs 60.

I do this with lots of games, cap somewhere between 40-50hz depending on how demanding the game is, then find the lowest tdp I can run with the game still having a stable frame rate. Great way to save on battery life.
