I owned 2 Pixel 8 devices and both had very different haptic motors, one of them would just make a plunk sound and the other one would give you an uncomfortable buzz. Google’s hardware design and consistency is lacking compared to other brand phones. Plus even though both were the same unlocked 128GB model, one of them was missing software features (3d wallpaper generation with AI for example), like what?

If you look closely iOS 18 is actually a replica of the Chinese phones’ UI.

Same bs every year

Bro it’s a Pixel. Few hardware issues are just expected at this point and I’m not defending Google, they have a bad track record with shitty hardware.

Other media companies use bots to boost streams all the time. Hence the mostly shitty popular music of today. The kind of music you make does not matter today, how you market it or ‘boost’ it does.

Don’t do it bro… YT has gotten increasingly shittier and although YTM stayed the same for a long time, you can now feel the enshittification coming to YTM too

And performance, and privacy, and …

I still don’t understand why apple maps uses yelp for reviews. If they made their own reviews section I would switch to Apple Maps in a heartbeat

With the new chip!

Yeah bro I pay for premium and it’s still hot stinkin shit

Yeah I miss small phones. My Galaxy s10e and iPhone 13 mini were great. They just stopped making small phones for some reason. Today’s “normal sized” phones would be considered tablets 10 years ago. But hey, my hands ain’t growing…

They should go back to Pixel 2 design.

$1k for a Tensor chip? Hell naw

Pretty much all cloud providers monitor their servers for piracy and malware distribution/downloads.

They should have just merged the two products. Instead of coming up with Gemini, they could have added LLM features to the Assistant. On a Samsung phone, you now have Bixby, Assistant and Gemini lol.

Yarrr matey

Same old slow chipset, ugly design (personally), software locked features rather than hardware limits

Plus the Pixels with the Tensor chip suck. You pay a flagship price but the processor cannot even compete with 5 year old chips.

I mean if you can unlock it, you can probably root it by patching the boot image

Tensor G3 sucked. Guess how the G4 will perform.
