Pixel 8 Pro magic audio eraser is lolz. Was recently on a yacht trip whilst in Mexico and all the video footage from the day was ruined by wind - the magic eraser rescued all the footage. Night and day difference

my lg wing is having an issue now of every 10-15days it will stop charging either usbc or qi until i reboot it, one time it was unresponsive on the main screen (lg has a small second screen, but that didn't help) and i had to ask someone (i was out) how to do a hard reboot

it's annoying and possibly detrimental enough i'll get a new phone, regretably it'll probably be a samsung b/c lg doesn't make phones no more and i already have a galaxy watch and earbuds, i might as well shill for samsung

I have a samsung galaxy 23+ very happy with it. Went from an iphone 8 lol. Just the buds are retarded because you can only have 1 pair active at once.

Got my wife the S24 ultra since shes on the fucking thing like all day long for our anniversary. Nice fucking phone! Went from an S10 to this thing which is a nice upgrade. Got the 512gig version from verizon for $1400. Both my kids were drooling saying they wanted to buy it from her, lol when they saw it.
I still have and older iphone 12, but I dont fuck with the phone too much other than some texting and obv phone calls. This thing came from the trash when my kid was working for the local county recycling a few summers ago. He came home with like 5 phones and one of them was this iphone 12 which had a cracked screen and a cracked camera lens. Like $65 dollars later I had a new screen installed by my other kid and he also replaced the camera glass.

I bought that phone and I don't know what I think of it, the actions are so different from the other android phones. If I could I would use my oneplus, that thing holds a charge so we'll and could go from dead to 100% in less than 20 minutes, dropped the thing so many time without a case and still nothing.

Also pixel doesn't have an SD slot, and having to turn the phone off in the OS instead of the power button or you have to hit power/volume .....so annoying

The new gestures are good once you get used to them. I've been using them forever and when I pick up a family member's Android phone I'm super annoyed that they aren't there.

A year of using a Oneplus camera was enough for me to say "never again, Pixel only from now on"

You can enable the 3 old buttons at the bottom somewhere in settings, because that's the first thing I googled after getting the phone and not having a fucking clue how to go back, minimize, etc. Fuck these kids and their fucking gestures!

Yeah camera is the last thing I care about on a phone, my oneplus actually seemed to have a better picture than the pixel but who knows. The OnePlus 12 is pretty awesome

Maybe they've improved in the last four years but I tried the one plus 8 and 8 pro and the camera was dog shit

OP have historically been recognised as having sub par cameras and pixels have always been highly regarded

Got the new pixel 9 xl. Seems like a big improvement over the 8 I had. I haven't switched it over to my main phone but its a big upgrade from the Pixel 8 pro.

The square design has a nice touch but I have no clue on the durability. Don't care about photos but the software ect are improved. My +one is still my main personal phone for the time

Looking to upgrade my pixel 6 and my wife's even more ancient Galaxy S10. I have an Apple TV at home and was considering switching to Apple for once, easy screen mirroring. Google has been fucking us in a lot of ways with their search engine and YouTube bullshit. How ever I want to know if it's worth it or not.

I would be getting a Pixel 9 pro or an iPhone 16 pro. Right now they have a special and I can get two pixel pros for not much more than the price of 1 phone pro.

Opinions welcome.

I haven't messed with the any of the extra AI/Gemini software. I'm not crazy about photos but it is much better than my 8 pro, the battery life is an improvement. My biggest gripe is them only having a sim slot and no SD

Is the software on the Samsung Galaxy obnoxious? That's what has always kept me away from them but they look nice.

That's all I need to know. Fuck paying double for an arguably worse phone just because of marketing. And did you think Apple is a MAGA company? Just get a Chromecast.

I ordered the discounted Pixel 9 Pro Plus or what ever. I let my wife pick a Galaxy Fold 6 or what ever. She writes and draws and thought she would really like it.
