I really don't see the point of doofus
I really don't see the point of the Pixelbook. It's a large screen phone with a keyboard. For that much money I want an actual laptop
The nest camera stuff is amazing in Google assistant you can ask for a 5 sec 30 sec clip and it will make a gif and send it to your phone. Super useful if you've got connection issues or in an area that doesn't have highspeed LTE and just want to check out what's going on at home.
I was hoping to be bowled over by the Pixel 2. I guess I'm sticking with the iPhone 7+ for another year.
I use bokeh a lot though, so it's kind of a toss up.
You can also expect quick autofocus through dual-pixel phase detection, and a portrait mode that creates DSLR-like soft backgrounds using only one camera (whether it's the back camera or the front 8-megapixel shooter).

Why are they "partnering" with Verizon? Does that mean anything? I was planning to leave Verizon so that I could switch to T-Mobile and get this phone.
I have a white 128GB non-XL, which I'm keeping in order to use it as a backup camera on my short films. Sorry breh. I could sell you my 5X though! ;)
Edit- Messed up lol.
The only new phone that is impressive and seems worth upgrading to is the LG V30

They really should hand Adobe a fat sack of cash to port their shit over. Market the move as the "start of many" desktop-class programs making the move. Do the same for Valve (should be easy with their HTC connections.)

Guarantee you the Pixel 2s will blow it out of the water on speed, battery life, photos/videos, and software updates.

Thanks, operation escape from Verizon lives on. Do you or anyone here use Project Fi? Just wondering if it's reliable. It's monthly plan seems to be the cheapest option.Why are they "partnering" with Verizon? Does that mean anything?

It works on every carrier when you buy it unlocked. You can only buy it subsidized from Verizon and its only retail presence be at Verizon stores.
Ok enjoy your objectively much shittier phone. 😎
Oh did you want to know which you should buy?
I'm getting the XL and it's by far the biggest phone I've ever bought. I'm actually a having some post-purchase cold feet, but I'll keep my order until I have it in my hand and have used it for a few weeks.
Is there any nudity in your short films?

So they pretty much gave up on tablets?
If you want speedy updates and security, you stick with stock Android. This isn't some shocking fact. It's been like this from the start - since 2008. I'm sick of idiots deprioritizing security when it comes to buying Samsung or LG's latest flashy trash and then whining about patches and updates. Go fuck yourself.
Project Treble should help quite a bit, though. But I have no sympathy for the smartphone equivalent of mouthbreathers.
If I hack some $50 phone from China and put iOS on it, am I entitled to updates from Apple?
Even Linux (which Android is a base of) isn't this insane with having consumers be behind security patches/updates. But Linux is used by most folks that will willingly deffer updates for the sake of "uptime" so that's a whole-'nother discussion on why "computer literate" folks are just as dumb.
You can expect a security update to be reverse engineered and pushed by the community for you to use (if you so choose, but that's outside of what you're getting at) when it happens.
I'm not sure if you can actually boot stock Android on any Treble-supporting phone yet, but if not we're pretty damn close.
Google Wifi got here yesterday. :rejoice

For the record, the smaller Pixel 3 will reuse the Pixel 2 XL's design (just in a smaller form factor.)
Obligatory "wait a month or two, buy a One Plus 6 t" post
The lenovo smart display is actually making me consider jumping to Youtube TV. I got one at Costco to try out and ended up buying a second one. You can multicast anything through Youtube to both displays just like audio. So if you wanna share a video with someone in another room you can watch it at the same time. I use mine while I'm cooking and the other is on the side table and gets used while I play games on the big screen.
I look forward to seeing what Google has cooked up in that space and if they expand to other Android one apps for the device line.
well this is a shame, pixel 2 xl slowdown less than a year after release

How is the new Pixel even going to compete with the Xr?
Ok, so it won't. Thanks.How is the new Pixel even going to compete with the Xr?
It's not running iOS for starters.
I’d also like like to take this moment to say new Chrome is ugly as fuck. All those rounded edges—it’s now safe for a particularly slow child to play with it.It now looks like Opera looked before Opera decided to make itself look like Firefox.
what do you think of the OnePlus6T that's coming out?
For $500 something dollar phone the Oneplus 6 t is where it's at, honestly. Great value it seems.
The new detachable Pixelbook (codename Nocturne) will officially be called "Google Pixel Slate."For $500 something dollar phone the Oneplus 6 t is where it's at, honestly. Great value it seems.
Yup. Past gens it feels like they always messed up 1-2 things, but this one looks like a keeper.
They actually used to be much bigger believe it or not.
(https://i.imgur.com/fUf34HB.png)that notch is fucking hideous. it is worse than the iPhone ones.

Really? I'm not sure if it's screen size or the OEM/mobile company changing the size, but after having them be iPhone app sized (not sure if you get what I mean) on my G4, my G6 being super tiny (but having space for like 50+ apps per "page") while nice, is a little annoying since I'm used to the "default"/AOSP size. I can't seem to find a UI setting for it (like displaying the battery status % and milliseconds on the clock). It's driving me crazy.
(Along with not knowing [due to XDA navigation being a hot-mess of unusable] if this variant is able to be flashed stock to get rid of the fucking bloatware on the recovery partition. I like Android, but Jesus the OEM cancer each installs...)

Which Pixel 3 features are coming to older Pixel phones (and which will remain exclusive) (https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/10/13/pixel-3-features-coming-older-pixel-phones-will-remain-exclusive/)Nice, I'm fine sticking with my Pixel 2 XL. Motion auto focus and super res zoom are the only Pixel 3 exclusive features I'll be missing out on.
Good amount of stuff for both, and the Pixel 3 exclusives mostly make sense (being hardware based and using the Visual Core more.)
The Absolute Color Accuracy of the Pixel 3 XL is Truly Impressive… and very likely considerably better than any mobile display, monitor, TV or UHD TV that you have.
tasty, did you go for the xl or regular?
I just figured out it's the iPhone of Android.

Holy shit those photo comparisons. :o Pixel 3 is a true generational leap.
In our hands-on, we learned that Google is using some special way of communicating with the Stand, thanks to a data stream embedded in the wireless charging signal. That means you can have different settings for different Stands (say one at home, one at the office) and you can't get these features with any other wireless charging accessories.

I believe you can just say "Alexa, call Chronovore" and it'll do that. I'm pretty sure you have to set up the account profiles and stuff for her tho.

Yup, that's a phone. :zzz Nice to see thinner bezels on both models.
Might go with this and upgrade from the Pixel 2, but at the same time...it's still working great so don't know if I need to.
thanks tasty, will probably pick one up over the weekend as i can't wait until october in the hopes a new model may be released
My whole house is now a Google house :doge

Tasty, can you think of any reason why I shouldn't pre-order the 4XL just yet?
Got a Pixel 4 XL today.How's recording video on it, especially in low lighting? I'm still on a Pixel 2XL and I'm hoping it's at least better than that.
And uh...yup, it's a phone. Does phone things. Face unlock is slick. Camera is nice. Radar gestures seem kinda shitty unless I'm just doing it wrong.
I've read that there's also an issue with the 90 Hz not even working if your screen display brightness is below 75%-- so I have no idea if I'm even using the 90 Hz stuff right now. :lolYou can actually see if you fuck around around with the brightness toggle and then scroll a page afterwards. I have a 4XL and was messing with it last night :lol It's not a deal breaker but it seems like a really random decision :lol
If it's not on, this is still really smooth so color me impressed.
Given that Qualcomm and Android are the "Wintel" of the mobile world, the Snapdragon 865 also brings a few Android-centric benefits. David Ruddock of Android Police reports that Qualcomm will start providing Snapdragon 865 graphics driver updates through the Play Store, allowing users to update their graphics drivers just as they would an app.
4a will apparently be noticeably underpowered compared to the regular Pixel 4. Not sure if that's how it was with the 3a?

Also, got a second Titan USB-C key, which means I can finally enroll in Google's Advanced Protection Program to lock shit down. You can setup an Android phone or iPhone as a "key" using Bluetooth, or buy Bluetooth or NFC versions of the keys, but I didn't want anything wireless especially after the Bluetooth key had a recall last year... So, USB-C. Quite happy.
Not happy few services support FIDO2... or those that do still allow/enforce SMS 2FA first, completely defeating the point. :social2

Why not get a Yubikey in that case?
But yeah, FIDO2 not being well supported is why I never really bought a Yubi or any other version of a hardware key.
PSN still uses SMS 2Factor, annoyingly.
Though in a world of "you need to turn off 2Factor and then turn it back on" (a la Steam movement) between phones/apps, I dunno if I can really hate Sony for that when it's just "oh you need to login? Use your number" over "oh, you need to login and got a new phone? Hope you have your old one lol!" :doge

for those of you that use a lot of apps, is 64 GB enough?
I haven’t had to use more than 64GB much. I offload my images to cloud storage and I also delete text threads frequently. Most of the space on my phone has been eaten up by Spotify offline downloads.

The price WITH activation of a new contract is pretty good for a Pixel 3a. So if you have a Verizon/ATT account or if you're willing to switch to Sprint as a new customer, then the discount seems pretty good.
But if you're on T-mobile or any MVNO, the price without the carrier discount is average. Is your current phone getting worn out and if so, what features/price are you looking for?
Yeah, I just checked and I've used a little less than 56gb out of 256 on my OnePlus 7 pro that I've had for about a year now. 21 gb in pics/vids, 22 in apps, 12 system, and random other shit making up the rest. I obviously don't game much on my phone, tho.
I think if you get a Pixel tho, you get a pretty sweet amount of google drive back up space for photos and shit.
for those of you that use a lot of apps, is 64 GB enough?
Also I dunno what deals will be left but it's looking like I'll be picking up a 3a tomorrow too :dead
I think that makes at least four of us here (bork, cindi, now Oblivion and me.)
welp, went ahead and bought it. no going back now
i'm the proud owner of a google pixel 3a :rock
for those of you that use a lot of apps, is 64 GB enough?
How is the 3a? I can feel certain things on my Pixel 2 starting to decline (like a lose USB C port) and have no intention of getting a flagship model.
that being said, i know it's a minor thing, but one issue i do have with the phone is that it has a yellow volume button. i ordered the white version and it seems to clash pretty badly, imo. small thing, i know, but it still bugs me. :yuck

Ah well I've waited a year, can wait some more lol. Unless this is the two week period my phone chooses to die... But even then I can make phone calls on my laptop using the same number thanks to Google Voice, so there's really not too big a loss of productivity...
oh most definitely. now that i'd actually be able to take decent pics to begin with :P
i am curious, though. seeing all these thousand dollar phones, what's the point of them? i could see people needing all that extra power for stuff like gaming, but plenty of my friends have those phones that don't care about games.

Both devices need to be the same model (ex. two Nest Minis or two Home Minis), and located in the same room.
100-89 overnight seems kinda normal to me tbh... especially if you have the screen set to always-on, and are running intensive apps like... YouTube...
The rumor is that Pixel 4a at $349.
Still waiting for a good and inexpensive 5G phone, so I might wait for the Pixel 5 or something similar.
Just got an LG G8 for $285 (w/tax) which is basically a Pixel 4 XL with worse camera and brand. Hopefully doesn't boot loop like past LG phones.
I really don't see any reason to spend a lot for a phone right now. It's clear manufacturers are in the middle of R&D for the next great leaps like flexible screens that don't break easily or under screen selfie cameras. Most 2020 phones just updated themselves with a pinhole camera + 12GB RAM and called it a day.
USB C port on my Pixel 2 is loose, headphone to USB C always drops out. Lint seems to be a common cause but I cant see anything in there and trying to get stuff out with a plastic dental pick has proved fruitless.

I don't know if this is a good thread to post in but what the hell.
Our kid is starting kindergarten in a few weeks and his school will all be virtual learning.
I've been getting a lot of suggestions to buy a Chromebook but it seems like there are a lot of options. I don't want to get one that's so slow he gets frustrated using it (I don't even know if they sell them like that) but I don't have a ton of money to work with either. So, like, if there's some $700-1000+ model I gotta pass on that but I don't want to throw $200-300 on something that's just going to be junk.
I'm not sure if this is going to be a laptop he'll be using for a year or for a few years.
Really I'm pretty just dumb about the whole platform and hoping someone else can just tell me what to buy and make it simple for me.

Most school districts should offer a chromebook or iPad or whatever they're offically using for school curriculum to each student because they're using previous technology grants or recent CARES money to buy it.
If you still want to buy a personal chromebook for him, there's a couple I personally like. Since they're chromebooks, they don't have or need a lot of on board storage space, and it needs an internet connection to work. Your school will likely provide a school email/profile for him to log in with. So make sure you have it written down somewhere because your son/daughter will likely forget.
My school bought HP chromebooks, and they're built solidly, and the keyboard was good to type on.
https://www.amazon.com/HP-Lightweight-Chromebook-Intel-Dual-Core-Processor/dp/B07L52DDDQ/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=Chromebook&qid=1596562566&sr=8-9
I'm also recommend Asus chromebooks. Here's a 2018 version that is $126 used.
https://www.amazon.com/Chromebook-C523NA-DH02-NanoEdge-Display-Processor/dp/B07HRZM2V4/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=Chromebook%2Basus&qid=1596562962&sr=8-5&th=1
Personally, I'd buy a refurbished one around $200 and only expect your son to use for 2/3 years before he needs to upgrade. If you want to buy new, then I'd buy it from say, Costco instead of amazon or best buy due to Costco's better return policy vs. Amazon/Best Buy even if it's more expensive.
Costco has this HP touchscreen chromebook for $400. Probably more than you want to pay, but comes with a 2 year warranty from Costco, and with Costco's liberal return policy, you can probably return it years afterwards.

Edit: It's important to get something that is somewhat rugged, your son will drop the laptop more than once.
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and if Samsung has paid attention, they could feel particularly aggrieved that OnePlus has taken so many visual cues from the One UI skin. There is no denying the similarities here, although it’s hard to really be too annoyed at some of the changes made here — unless you live for the “clean” experience that OxygenOS has become known for in recent years.

There is no denying the similarities here, although it’s hard to really be too annoyed at some of the changes made here — unless you live for the “clean” experience that OxygenOS has become known for in recent years.

...how much am I gonna have to shell out for a fucking google phone with a 90hz refresh rate tho?

admittedly, a little anticlimactic after all this time. and sure, it's not yosemite, but i still like it. :-[
the only thing though, i think the first pic is excellent in terms of color and vibrancy. i don't know what happened to the other two that made them look washed out. still, i mostly like what i see.
edit: i took those images off of FB. here's an uncompressed image:

Got my last security update on my Pixel 2 today :fbm
The fingerprint sensor is the only thing putting me off getting a Pro to replace my 4xl. People bagged on the 4's face unlock, but I've never had any issues with it. Hopefully they're able to patch it in
Also- do you want a glass screen protector? Better not be replying on that fingerprint sensor unlock if you do! :awesome
