- AI bs
- Imitating the iPhones Design
- Small performance improvement
- Very expensive
They just completely alienate their core audience. Don’t think I’ll ever go back to them
They missed out on many things too. While the Pixel Pro has an LTPO display, the base model doesn’t. They only ship with UFS 3.1 storage despite UFS 4.0 being available. Charger is still not bundled.
Heck, give anything except for AI.(144Hz screen anyone? Motorola has them). I never used Assistant and after trying Gemini out for some time, disabled it as well.
Charger is still not bundled.
That is an absolute pro argument though. Who needs yet another charger?
it’s still the only rootable flagship in the usa unfortunately. or else I’d use Samsung.
Wait, you cannot root a Samsung? Since when?
not the usa models. see here…
The Pixel 9’s updated design language is giving iPhone from the front
Cringe
The iPhone is great from a design and hardware perspective. I just hate iOS, their stock apps, app pricing and the cultish community. So I wouldn’t mind an iPhone clone running Android.
Just when I think the phone industry can’t get any more boring and frustrating, now new phone releases only add more AI bullshit.
HTC just released a nice Lil $600 phone with a headphone jack and a microSD card slot. Think I’d rather have that.
Which one is that?
The U24 pro, although that one isn’t that little (6.8")
What I wouldnt give for a smaller android phone. https://smallandroidphone.com/ it’s happening!
it’s happening!
Look closer. There are no dates anywhere. Also this paragraph:
If Apple kills the Mini, those people will need a new home. An Android phone (with Beeper for iMessage) might be an adequate alternative.
Makes it abundantly clear it was forgotten about years ago.
@Xatolos If I buy Google Pixel it’s only because it’s the only one that supports GrapheneOs
Shit show maybe…also no. I opt out of usel ss ai implementation
Would be nice if Graphene managed to implement some of those AI features locally. Without the AI use, i think this thing could fly. Seems the foldable might have really slow wireless charge though :(
