Khablam posted:Whilst this is true, it's the usual carrier garbage. The unlocked phones have been getting them just fine. Didn't a recent Galaxy S, maybe 9, have an international Exynos version with noticeably worse battery like than the Snapdragon version in U.S.? Also not sure whether international has all the bands for U.S. carriers, do you know if it does? Last thing is just that Samsung has some draw because you can often get deals through your carrier or Best Buy, so the international version probably often has some mark up relative to that.

Anyone know where I could find a Pixel 3 demo phone in Manhattan? The one Verizon store I could find didn't have one. I did bumble into the event building. (Can't figure out how to post this on phone aggh) https://imgur.com/gallery/jpUZBRN New York is a lot like Vancouver btw, never thought I'd say that. Shame about the rats, smell and rude people everywhere (in Vancouver that is).

Last thing is just that Samsung has some draw because you can often get deals through your carrier or Best Buy, so the international version probably often has some mark up relative to that. Yes, the Exynos 9810 is noticeably inferior to the Snapdragon 845 this generation. As for the bands on the unlocked phones, you will have to research what bands your carrier uses and cross reference with what the supported bands are. The international version might not support all the carrier bands, but a USA unlocked phone just might.

Shrimp or Shrimps posted:How many people charge and listen to music / media at the same time, or hate dongles enough, that no headphone jack is a dealbreaker? No headphone jack bit me for the first time this weekend. Friday night I get off from work and hop in the car for a 3 hour road trip. The car is an 01 that I use a tape adapter and the dongle with daily. Since I had been using my 2XL heavily it was at about 30%. Listening to music and Waze chewed though that rather quickly. I had to go musicless in favor of directions while my phone charged.

Palm is back! https://www.engadget.com/amp/2018/10/15/palm-is-back-hands-on/ quote:The Palm packs a 3.3-inch LCD display that's surprisingly sharp — it has a 445 PPI pixel density, putting it in the same ballpark as devices like the iPhone XS Max where clarity is concerned. It runs Android 8.1, though Palm was careful to paint over it with a clean interface full of big, round app icons that's more than a little reminiscent of the Apple Watch's.

Here's some sour grapes from an ex-Google UI designer, that mainly worked on Google+, but I'm sure that poo poo also applies to other teams within that company. Would certainly explain some things. https://threader.app/thread/1049523067506966529 (Long read. --edit: It's apparently sourced from a Twitter thread, thus the weird format.)

I noticed that on Engadget today, I wonder if their CDN is having some sort of issue Ron has his review out too, he just sounds grumpy and I'm starting to feel like he really doesn't know what he wants in a smartphone anymore. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/10/pixel-3-xl-review-great-software-but-google-just-isnt-a-hardware-leader/ Basically, everything about USING the phone is great, but he has an axe to grind about the hardware. He's still playing to scratchgate too even after a weekend of people trying and failing to scratch the soft touch material.

The Verge is middle ground on scratchgate. https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/15/17973484/google-pixel-3-xl-review-camera-features-screen-battery-price-photos Marks they tried to make wiped off but cohabitation in pockets with keys eventually let to some permanent scuffs. So, there you have it. An all glass phone can't survive skinny jeans with keys unprotected without getting some marks. Cancel the whole release.

DaveKap posted:After Android 9 came out, two things changed with my Pixel 1 phone that are bothering me enough that I tried, and failed, to Google them. So now I'm here. I've had none of these issues on my Pixel 1 XL. I'm using the stock dialer app (which I believe is just called "Phone" with Google as the publisher in the Play store). Same for my wife. Sorry I don't have a solution for you, other than making sure you're using the stock dialer. As others have noted, Pixels don't have SD card capabilities. I apologize for what is probably a very stupid question, but just in case: you're sure you're using a Pixel and not a different make of phone?

bull3964 posted:I noticed that on Engadget today, I wonder if their CDN is having some sort of issue Thats rough, I agree with Ron, I want a halo product too. I want the Ultra with 512gig of storage and 8 gigs of ram and a 4500maH battery and 4 cameras or whatever the wet dream of a phone is. However they didn't make that. I'm sorry Fortnite needs more RAM. It shouldn't. Its a loving game on a phone. Either the OS or the game needs to try a smidge harder to work within the box. Nobody else seems to be able to recreate the scratch thing, so I don't know why he is still beating that horse. At least he didn't throw a fit about Face unlock. A bunch of reviews are mentioning that it doesn't have that feature like Apple but I just don't get why anyone wants that. It feels like marketing nonsense to get past the lack of a much more secure fingerprint sensor.

Yeah, I mean, I can kinda see the "what if" angle he's coming from, but it still comes off as an uneven review Performance is great, battery life is competitive, but who knows how good it would be if [phonespec] is bumped. Also, I'm irrationally angry about the finish of the metal part of the phone. My favorite is that the speakers are fantastic and totally justify the design compromises necessary to get them but I don't want them so I'm going to say the phone doesn't have a 2018 design. Meanwhile, he goes on in the other direction about the lack of headphone jack. The fact that he doesn't see the hypocrisy in that statement is telling. I think 2018 broke Ron.
