the difference now is that instead of there being a different galaxy s (the flagship) for each carrier that's broken in unique ways, there's only one galaxy s (or at least close enough to the same), but there's a dozen models that are more expensive and worse than a moto g5+

pixel talk!

in denmark when the pixels came out they would run you the same as a high-tier iphone plus model. Now they're merely as expensive as the regular iphones.

they fixed this in 7.0 by just entirely removing the "new picture" implicit broadcast. now with 8.0, apps that target it can't use implicit broadcasts at all, instead having to use JobScheduler (which i think is like GCD in ios)

Google is generous with cords and dongles. With my 6P I got 2 good rear end usb c cables (c to c with the super charger wall wart) and an a to c. Then with my Fi kit I got a cool very short a to c cable. Bravo to Google! 🎉

but how are pixel users meant to charge their phones and listen to their music at the same time. its apparently a super common thing and no an edge case that they cant do without that without dongles. they dont even have wireless charging. how depressing
