Ugh such a huge chin! I won't be happy until a phone has a 7" screen and negative bezels.

The S8 got the bezel-less look right first time. How has everything since been such a shitshow? I guess they're all looking for something unique and not just GLASS RECTANGLE #37 ?

Notches continue to be horrific. Thanking the lord my Pixel 3 will have smaller bezels than the Pixel 2 and no notch.

I don't really care about the notch, except what is the point? It doesn't really add any screen space and is as functionally useful as a bezel, so all it does is make the screen look weird and not square.

I'm kind of curious why they did bezels on the small one and notch on the big one, bringing them physically closer to the same size, instead of trying to make the small one even smaller and letting the big phone be, well, big.

To give notch haters some product rather than risking them to another manufacturer.

They aren't bringing them physically closer to the same size. The leaked dimensions have both phones at virtually the same size as the outgoing models. The Pixel 3 is is the same form factor as the Pixel 2, just with an 18:9 display that uses some of the prior phone's bezel space. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Jul 30, 2018 |

I just bought my first ever smartphone, a Galaxy S9 Plus, and I'm trying to see how long it lasts on battery with very casual use. When I go to sleep the battery is 100%, when I wake up it's down to 85% despite me turning Wifi, bluetooth and scan for other devices off and having received no calls or texts (#sad). Is this normal for a smartphone? The only thing I can't figure out is how to turn off the screen when the phone isn't being used from being very dimly lit but telling me the time/battery/temperature, could that be what's causing it?

That's normal. Don't janitor your phone, don't toggle stuff off like that. And the dimly lit display is called "always on display" and you can set options for it to auto turn off at night and auto turn back in the morning.

I have a Moto G5 Plus and I lose less than 8 or 9% overnight. Try turning off the always on display at night.

That's about average tbh, though with a brand new smartphone its also doing some behind-the-scenes setup and organizing that will eat up extra battery after you first start using it. You should see a marginal improvement in standby time a day or so after initial setup.

I'd love to see a percentage of how many of the Pixel 2's sales were from the XL and how many from the regular. I'd guess it's something like 75% are XL.

Just to experiment I'm going to try leaving my phone off the charger overnight tonight because I feel there's no way losing 15% in eight hours with no activity is normal. If it's anything more than 5% I'd consider that to be terrible. Edit: Eight hours later and I'm at 95%. ClassActionFursuit fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Jul 30, 2018 |

You should leave the wifi on. LTE takes more battery.

Otherwise, Samsung add some aggressive battery saving modes. The medium tier disables all background activity + the always on display and at that point it'll lose maybe 0.5% an hour. If you really want to have long-rear end standby time, and you can still return the S9, something like the moto G6 or Nokia 7 plus have low-power chipsets that'll give you 3 days of battery with light use.

But on the latest beta update on my Pixel 2 its finally starting to make sense, 4-6% overnight. (Ashes, I have had several Samsungs, such is the reason for always having burned an inordinate amount of battery before for no reason)

At camp this weekend with my kid, my phone lost about 8% overnight off the charger. OG PixelXL. But there's a pretty side LTE signal at that camp, so any checks it did during the night were pretty trivial.

Tunga posted:With wi-fi off (and data on) 15% doesn't sound unreasonable at all. I'd say it's pretty decent. Well I went from 100% to 95% which is way more reasonable and about what I've come to expect. My Nexus 5 was about the same level of efficiency when idle (though it got worse with time). 15% over eight hours doing nothing is not good at all and certainly not for a new phone with a new battery. With Doze as aggressive as it is now I don't even see how it's possible.
