Do you regreat buying a Google Pixel recently?

My only complaint about my G6 is that they put the volume buttons on the left side. I'm used to having the power button be on the back of the phone after a few hours of use, but it's so inconvenient to have to re adjust my phone in my hand to change the volume because I'm not ET.

>>59680199
The one thing I've experienced on big screen phones that is annoying as fuck, is that the larger screen means the more times you need to recharge your phone. My last phone before I got my galaxy s7 edge was the LG V10 and that thing sucked battery like it was no one's business. I found myself having to charge my phone about 3 times a and I don't even use it that much to play games on a daily basis, it would drain just by being in my pocket. When I got the Samsung galaxy s7 edge I was amazed on how this phone lasted me a whole day without needing to charge once! And that is with the high performance module enabled I would trade better battery life over a phanlet screen any day now!

rounded corners, no bezel to hold the phone by, and especially curved screen edges are the dumbest phone memes. plus it's 2017 and touchwiz still somehow manages to slow down phones after a year, and lg is still Loops Good, so...

Would anyone agree with me that these bezeless phones are ugly as shit? I don't like huge unused space like on Google Pixel but phones need some bezel to be easier to hold and use. I.e. LG G2

>>59684430
...S7 Edge looks much much better than S8 and it has a physical button with some small bezels.

>>59684423
Samsung tries harder to use better tech than Apple, and before you bring up the CPU the S8 has the best LTE modem available right now, AMOLED is more expensive to make than LCD, they made a headphone jack that is water resistant, they use UFS which is better than nvme in mobile devices at least and their phones actually have good reception.

I didn't buy the google pixel because I don't give a shit about it

I don't want phones that have more screen than anything else either

I just buy lenovorola shit these days

>>59680352

To quote noted hardware analysts Salt 'n' Pepa:

>Don't know how you do the voodoo that you do
>So well it's a spell, hell, makes me wanna shoop shoop shoop

The Apple iPhone 7 Plus with TouchID doesn't have this problem.

>>59684523
>S8 has the best LTE modem available right now
Samsung's own Shannon modem, which the international SKU has, is certainly behind Qualcomm and probably behind Intel's.

if you buy a carrier-unlocked S8 in Europe you are prolly left out of VoLTE because that would need carrier-specific modem firmware only available for the carrier-branded versions.

>>59682390
Rear camera is godly, the amount of options you have is Unreal for a smartphone. I came from the g3 so I'm a few generations behind but I could not be happier. Sound is something to be desired, but I haven't heard of a speaker besides HTC ones that was great. I'd show a picture it can take but Idk how to strop exfi on a phone

>>59680199
Yeah the Sony phone which isn't oversized and has proper grip is vastly superior

>>59687407
What about full auto mode?
Sony phones have camera options for days and if you spend 10 minutes tweaking you got a nice shot. Auto was hot garbage though.

I'd just wait for the 4. Actually, it's precisely what I'm doing, since I got an OPO a month after it launched and it's still perfectly working.

I recently bought the Pixel XL and I like it. Great phone, no regrets.

Yes, its design is bulky, plain, and too much bezel, but I'm not some /fa/gget so I dont give a fuck.

Functionality over style anyday

>>59680212
Not a fan of curved edges myself because its more difficult to get tempered glass screen protectors for them.

I didn't buy one

well at least none of them have physical home buttons...
unfortunately the only decently-sized one is the pixel and it's ugly as shit

It just straight out stopped working one day.
Running the camera app (any front camera utilizing app, stock or not) will crash it. Completely wiped the phone several times, reinstalled all of the firmware, but the problem persisted.
I even ordered the G2 camera separately and swapped it, without any apparent effect. Probably a mobo issue.

I'm actually surprised by the amount of torture my OPO has been able to withstand in the last two years. Not only do I drop it at least a couple times a week, but I still haven't had any problems with it (except the software, though it's easily fixed with LineageOS). The only thing that sucks about mine is the atrocious battery life. When I first got this phone (on Android 4.4) the battery life was godly, and I'd frequently hit 6 hours of screen-on time. Now it's down to 3 hours, which I'm guessing is due to the battery aging.

What does the pixel do besides have better resolution (i don't care my res is fine) and i guess better battery life (my battery life is not an issue and a better camera (non issue for me)

What benefit would I get by carrying around a pixel over a G4? Maybe there are some that I have over looked

I am running one of the latest OSes and have never had trouble running any app or issues with reception

I bet most people buy them just to have the best phone without thinking about what the benefits really are for the average user

Unless you're a PHONE GAMURR what are the benefits for even the power user?

They could make the software better and work going backwards, they dont give a shit to and it makes them no money. hence forced obsolescence with software updates.

We've already seen this with laptops where people are still using laptops from 6 years ago comfortably and using desktops that are even older than that.

It's basically consumerism at its core combined with very little innovation and oligopolies or duopolies controlling the markets

>>59703284
Who fucking cares what it looks like
Are you a girl?

Be more pissed that you got memed on with "muh pixel density" on a 5 inch screen that's 2 feet from your face and "muh USB-C" to the tune of $800 just so you could get more recent Google updates and not have oligopoly carrier shitware preinstalled

>>59703403
>Unless you're a PHONE GAMURR what are the benefits for even the power user?

I agree that for a phone power gamer there could be a difference, but you are spending $1000 vs $175 to play video games, on a phone.....

There may be other benefits I dont know about such as being able to run enterprise type business software that I dont know about

otherwise it's got to be 2 groups of people, one who does not know what specs mean and just wants the newest phone and is paying for it over several years and does not care, and people who really think they need the phone and that it's worth it and have a justification that may or may not hold up because I can't think of one

I mean i guess if you had millions of dollars and you gave no fucks about price it would be an upgrade in terms of the screen and camera but not for anyone for whom budget is a consideration

I think the thing is in the 90s and early 2000s you would be upgrading from like win 95 to win 90 and from 16mb of ram to 128, it was the difference between being able to run word and winamp at the same time, and not being able to do that.

People still have that mentality, that computers only last 2 or 3 years and if you don't upgrade you are missing out on new practical capabilities

hyperbole.

using a 15 year old laptop now is pretty sadomasochistic. in 2002 you had usually 256MB RAM, even Lubuntu will be hard pressed to work well on that and that's not even talking about using any browser.

also PC market peaked years ago and no one is upgrading anymore except gamers.
in actual fact, lots of people just have a smartphone as their sole internet device, especially poor people that only have mobile broadband.

he is saying, wait 5 years to buy a medium range laptop then use it for 10 years (the way things are going) in other words in 5 years a mediocre laptop will last you 10 years, he's not saying to use a 15 year old laptop

and he's probably right, you can do just fine with a 7 year old laptop right now if you upgrade to an SSD with more ram

>>59703797

>>59703813

>2010 macbook pro could have been purchased with 8gb of ram and a 256gb SSD
you would have payed a hefty premium for going absolute high-end.
prolly not cost-effective to buying midrange in shorter intervals.

also 7 years sounds cherry-picked as that's exactly the last macbook pro that still got the latest macOS and Apple's Intel transition was done.

>still be going plenty strong with no upgrades
nope, battery will be totally depleted and not last very long.
having no integrated 5 GHz WiFi can also be a cumber-stone.

>>59703833
>just your HD and RAM
missing necessary new battery, otherwise that laptop will not be portable at all

point being 5-7 year old laptops are going strong with minor upgrades, that did not used to be the case

Same thing with cell phones, today a well picked $200 cell phone has the same capabilities as an 800$ cell, you get a prettier screen but there are no non game programs you can run on a super high end cell phone vs a good low end phone

if all you want to do is text and make calls and browse the web and kik and a few other things, there is no benefit to a high end phone

just like a new 15' macbook pro is a $2700 facebook/4chan/email/microsoft office machine

>computers should be affordable for everyone, not just for some small elite that can re-use old high-end ones.

I am using a mid range computer not a high end one

You can buy a netbook every 2 years for $300 if you want to, computers are as cheap as they have ever been, but people are being talked needlessly into high end ones, that is my point

Go look back to 2000, a "good" laptop was $4000 and a passable one was $2000

now you can have a decent laptop for a quarter of the low end of that

I got a pixel XL.
Before that I had a Galaxy Note 3.
On pixel XL, no built in microSD, built-in stylus s-pen thingy, ir blaster, swappable sim card, swappable battery or extended battery option. Also it's more susceptible to water damage.

The UI is not so different.

On the plus side, pixel XL comes with a few other software toys built in, along with finger print scanner and better camera and improved all around specs. Although to be honest it feels exactly the same.

I prefer the note 3 for changeable battery but that's not something new Samsung phones are any different with regard to the Pixel either.

>Same thing with cell phones
nope, there's a digital-security divide for smartphones:
https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/03/the-digital-security-divide/475590/
iPhone SE may cost $400, but is secure and will get updates for the next 3-4 years.
in contrast, a cheap $200 Android is already insecure at launch.

I'm a bit skeptical to upgrade my phone (xperia z1) because whenever I see these specs and find they're mostly inferior to a quad-core 2.2 I ask myself "why?"

Newer things gets released but they make it inferior while still keeping the same price or higher, it doesn't make sense.

(assuming I don't care about other (tiny) details)

>tfw just upgraded to a two year old flagship phone for 180 bucks
I will never understand people paying shitloads for the newest phone, but I'm thankful they enable me to buy their used phones for cheap.

>>59704561
>used phone

Really not worth it in 2017 with redmi4 and zuk2.

>>59704607
It was cheap from a relative. I would probably have gone for a chinkphone without this opportunity.

>>59704622
exploiting your relatives isn't nice

I have a rooted LeEco Le Pro 3. It was like $275.

>>59704622

After taking apart used phones and when when you see all the grease, skin flakes and hair from previous owner lodged in every crack, I don't know man.

>>59704607
i'm a verizonfag so that's why

>>59704681
That's why I'd never buy used online. This one was always carried in a flip case so no grease or shit anywhere.

>>59704414
why in the fuck would you secure any device with a fingerprint scanner

>>59704456
so basically forced obsolesce, are you people all stupid now that it's turned into /g/onsumer in here

>>59704687

Did order once verizon branded droid pro from US (I'm in europe). Bloat was insane, even GUI was in Verizon colors, would just change carrier in your place.

>>59704746
nope, providing updates does cost money.
if you don't pay for it, you won't get.

>>59704707

My last used phone had really strong cologne or aftershave odor that previous owner used. Awful shit.

>>59704757
I could switch to AT&T I guess but I think Verizon has more coverage where I live, cell networks in USA are shit and competition is only a recent thing

security shouldn't be an inconvenience.
so it's either that or no security.

>>59682460
Not everyone is a dicklet trying to overcompensate with a bimbo phone, Pajeet.

>>59704827
It's not security unless it's to your girlfriend or some shit

You are secure with a password with your 4th amendment rights, not with a fingerprint scanner, law enforcement and the courts can and will use your body

>le security meme

>>59704844
>You are secure with a password with your 4th amendment rights, not with a fingerprint scanner, law enforcement and the courts can and will use your body
bullshit.
4th amendment only protects against unreasonable searches.
law enforcement will need a search warrant in both cases if they want to see your phone.

So we can assume as usual the new LG phone will bootloop? Why is anyone excited for it again?

>>59704922
I meant 5th amendment, sorry i mistyped anon

>>59704951
courts aren't sure about that:

will take years till SCOTUS will decide.

>>59680212
This and the fact that the light always reflects on the edge of the screen which gets very annoying.

>>59705005
Hmm... that probably will be a huge complaint and Samsung will probably try to mitigate it by polarising the glass in a later revision.

hate phones with no physical keys that's deal-breaker for me, sorry samsung

>>59705606

we are already in the third iteration of the edge display and that complaint isn't new:

I don't regret buying a Pixel XL, it's the greatest phone I've ever seen. I do regret going with Project Fi, because after seeing all the other options out there, I'm kind of bummed that I couldn't try another phone if I wanted to. Shoulda gone Verizon.

Pixel XL was garbage when it launched. They axed the Nexus line which was top spec hardware at low end prices and replaced it with shit specs at iPhone prices. It's not even well made. The damn glass starts to flake off almost as soon as you open it.

Just

Garbage

>>59707867
This, glad I decided to get the 6p before it was too late. I'm hoping in next couple years google or some other phone company finally learns whats proper for a damn phone.

>>59684405
if only the chinamen would make redmi's with all usa bands in the international version.


thats all i ask. just give us the phone that has our cucked to fuck lte bands.

WTF I regret buying my pixel now

>>59680199
Anything with TouchWiz is automatically garbage.

Since nor Samsung or tech "journalists" have said anything, I'm pursuing the battery is utter shit.

>>59703375
those were some good looking phones...

I still think the iPhone 5S is still the best looking phone even till this day.

>>59691151
Got a lg g4 because it was the only motherfucker in town to stick have this. Now they took the removable battery away. Who is still doing it? What are my options?

>>59703500
That kind of remains to be seen. Pixel hasn't been out for that long. Bootlooping started to be well known around a year after launch.

I think so too. The default resolution seems to be set to FHD instead of QHD so they can save some battery in that regard.. this doesn't look like a confident move regarding battery life.

>>59680212

Samsung foresaw that and newer versions are called Samsung Experience now, so even you can buy it:

Wow WTF I love Samsung now.

>>59709630
the CPUs are also not clocked at their max.
but considering that Samsung seems to have gotten all the first SD835 for themselves (fabbed in their own fab) and doesn't share their own Exynos9, there's no Android competition (besides Huawei's Kirin 960, which isn't much a factor outside of China) and Apple is far ahead anyway.

>>59705832
who is she

>>59680199
I'll stick with my OnePlus 3t. it's cheaper great battery life plenty of storage and snappy.

>>59680215
you need to die off quickly

>>59681772
It's not even a pajeet phone anymore since pajeets can't afford it.
They took a niche enthusiast phone and made it even more niche.

>>59710322
big differences being no SD slot, but that's acceptable for many. Then there's the bigger issue: one of the worst AMOLED displays up against the best display out there. I think the display is the most important thing on a phone. Half the pricetag is good though, I guess.

Pixel was always garbage for the price and it could also be seen as a downgrade from the 6P if you care about the needlessly huge bezel and shitty non forward facing speakers

>>59680199
>Google Pixel
Do you have to dismantle it everytime you turn it off and go to sleep in order to stop it from tracking your dreams and nightmares?
>implying that would actually stop it for real and not just "anonymize" the data collected

>>59703476
Flagships makes sense in the US because of exorbitant data Plan prices. It's either get a $250 phone on a $40 data plan or get a flagship with no money down for $50 a month, both end up costing around the same but you get a much better phone.

>>59711510
Exorbitant data plan prices don't make sense in the first place. Buuuut I guess the fact that the flagships are selling like hotcakes means more advanced tech for everyone else too, so there's that.

>>59680199
Far right is the only good one. The pixel looks like an iphone 4 knockoff and the one in the middle is too curved to install a screen protector on.

>>59711822
>screen protector on
Pointless on Gorilla Glass 5.

>>59711853
I bet keys could scratch it still.

>>59711853
>Gorilla Glass 5
hopefully its good

had no screen protector on my s7 for a week when i got it, had several scratches just from taking it in and out of my pocket.

>>59702919

if you don't take pictures, theres not a huge reason to get a flagship phone over a $200 midrange phone..

a flagship phone will have a better LTE modem, for carrier aggregation and newer technologies like HPUE.

something like an iphone 6s/7 will have hella fast NVME storage compared to samsungs shit UFS storage.. which is really just a convenience thing. an app will open in .5 seconds instead of 1.5 or something negligible.

or something specific like samsung pay which is pretty convenient because it works where apple and google pay wont.

>>59711853
Anyone still use screen protectors?

>>59712975
Only braindead retards who think the laws of physics doesn't apply the second they apply a thin piece of plastic or glass on their phone.

>>59712975


i work for ATT and i see plenty of people daily with cases on their phones but no screen protectors.... scratched to shit but no cracks. iphone SE's, 6's, 6s', 7's,... every galaxy S series.

i have an s7 and went without one for a week and got multiple scratches just taking it and out of my pocket.

>>59713083
I hate thick cases because it defeats the point of the phones style. I'd take the risk of a drop

>>59713588
I took off the protector on my s6 in dec and havent gotten scratches yet. Im testing how good these scratch resistant glasses are for when I upgrade to s8

>>59680212
Yeah nah you're just a contrarian cunt.

>>59705832
I quite like my s7e. Maybe I'm moving from flashing nightlies to normie side.

>>59713588
I work in a metal fabrication workshop and I've used my s7e without a case for half a year - no significant scratches yet.

>>59682725
following that principle I'd only be allowed to have tablets
