Wasn't the selling point of the P20 Pro the night shots? Those were much better than the Iphone, right?

Well the night mode was decent but look artificial. The xz2 premium hold its own while looking more natural.

During the day light shot when using AI, pictures turned out way over processed.
Pictures always turns out looking like they have a heavy Instagram filter on.

Using pro mode also didn't impressed me. Photos turns up better on the xz2 premium and iPhone Xs.

Don't ever trust DxO mark.

What's so bad about it? I really hope Samsung step their chip game up for the S10/Note10.

Well, personally I have the S9+ and I'm getting like half the battery life of my S7 flat and a whole list of other issues (overheating/camera issues/random restarts etc). Might just be a faulty unit so I'm sending it in for a replacement this week.

Some tech analyst sites compared this year's Exynos and Snapdragon and it had significantly worse performance and battery life. Probably won't notice if you're a light/medium user though.

If it even lasts that long. Google could decide one day to just kill it, or let it rot and regress like Google Now.

It has now been repurposed as a feature in YouTube Premium as part of the video ringtone feature they create in a couple of years. Now called YouTube Plus after another name change.

Please pay for YouTube. Google begs of you.

Y'all might be interested in this video, which was posted a few years ago by one of the leads on the Pixel photography team:



Shit looks legit.

Lol, Mate 20 Pro will be using proprietary Huawei Memory Cards. In 2018. I am cackling like a mad man, we let this happen buying dongles and accepting just one usb type-c port, the OEMs are hungry for accessory money once again.

Best buy here has demo units. Seems much improved over the 2 xl i had. Way smaller side bezels. Notch is dumb, but not really noticeable.

Wish it had more ram, might have ordered one

Nice, will go try it out later. Kind of tempted to get one with all the good reviews and impressions, but $1000 after taxes is crazy.

So the pixel does do the notification bar correctly in the "hide bezel" mode?

Thought there were pictures of it below the bezels, and not making use of them at all, or is that a seperate option if people want it?

Why are you picking on me?

It's like you come along whenever something negative is mentioned about the pixel...

Do you get anything from shilling it?

I pick on people who blast untrue statements for the sake of karma or forum exposure. Not too different than me picking on the posters that were piping on about the fake Pixel Ultra. I treat you all the same.

If I am a Pixel shill than what do you get out of being an anti-pixel shill?

Dude...all the things I've said mirror what everyone been saying.

The notch is make the pixel 3 XL is the ugliest phone out there. It's pretty much fact when the majority agrees.

I mean, Google has a big event. Announces a new set of phones that I can't buy, a Google Home Hub I can't buy, a Pixel Slate I can't buy, and a bunch of Assistant features I can't use.

Literally everything in the event was restricted to one to three countries (US, Canada, UK), except for the phones, which a whopping 12 countries can buy.

If that isn't a terrible showing, I don't know what would be. It was almost a literal fuck you to everyone not North-American. How Google fancies themselves an Apple competitor in the world I can't imagine, they can't even compete on their own platform by sheer unavailability.

I would be ticked and get your pain but how many countries is the Homepod and/or Echo Show sold in? Advanced AI does hold back international rollouts quite a bit.

I can however use all the Siri features, including shortcuts, in every language Siri supports, day one.

I can also get an iPad Pro, and their range of phones virtually worldwide within months.

Google Assistant only just launched more languages, after years, and only supports a fraction of the functionality that US English has. Hell, you can't even use the "ok Google" command to call the functionality in Dutch, that is how limited the functionality is.

Why are we talking about a notch now? You just cant let it down, can you?

Like I said...im just echoing what everyone opinion about the phone:
Ugly phone
Expensive
4gig ram
And so on..

I never said anything negative on the things that are nice about it, like camera and such..

I don't even like this Era forum, but I see a lot of familiar face here from back of in days. I'm just here to give my take on unpopular phones that no one is crazy enough to get. At least I can give a real life experience on them...good or bad.

Is homepod and echo show in your country?

Also, how do you wake a google home if you cant say ok google? Are home devices completely absent in your country?

I have no problem with facts and debating them. I dont even disagree with some of your complaints above.

I am specifically talking about the inaccuracies and maturity level of your posts. I know that sounds harsh but I am just being honest.

Two things holding be back from switching back to Android:
1) iMessage
2) AirPlay/AppleTV integration

I know what I'm getting into with iMessage.

But surely there's apps out there that let you AirPlay from your Android phone right as well as remote apps for AppleTV, right?
