CLAM DOWN posted:Yeah that's such a weird claim to make considering how good the Pixels have been overall. I've been a user of plenty of Google services that were "promised" to be running for years and then were shut down in the past decade. The whole "fool me once, etc" comes into play at some point. So far Pixels have been well-supported, doing great - well, that's the same thing we said about the Nexus line, Play Music, G+, the impending Hangouts... You get the idea. None exactly short-runners. Eventually you get burned enough times you don't roll the dice again. I passed that "eventually" with Google a long time ago. Just my stance, not gospel everyone has to agree with.

4a $349 4a 5g $499 (unless you are Verizon, then $599) A52 is coming out soon, likely to be $500ish and looks to be pretty decent Pixel 5 is $699 S21 is $799 Plenty of good, well supported options under $1k. All with OLED screens, all but 1 with 5g.

The Nexus line was supported well too, just because it was renamed Pixel doesn't mean it was short changed. Google's hardware division has been very good about support and it's a feature that's being sold with the device so they can't exactly back out of it without inviting a lawsuit.

Well apparently the Nexus 6p and 5x both got 3 years of updates, Play music became YT Music (which sucks) but you got grandfathered into the same price for it, G+ lol, and Hangouts is technically dying but everyone is getting migrated to a functionally identical thing

No OnePlus in my country so distinguished gentlemen must do S line in the fall (or summer this year) and Pixel in spring. But will probably skip Pixel again unless it's an XL non-mid-range as the s21 ultra is near perfect. Asus rog phone is getting more appealing though... Just gotta fix that camera.

As someone who had the misfortune of owning a G3 for a time this post is the craziest thing I've ever read in this thread. Of all the phone I've owned the G3 was hand down the worst, it overheated, suffered from distorted audio, had horrible software oversharpening that couldn't be turned off and an incredibly power hungry screen. It also somehow got worse with every software update. I know 2014 was pretty rough for Android in general but even by those standards the G3 was an exceptionally bad phone.

It's worth keeping in mind I've been on Huawei hardware since my G3 died. Believe me, there's plenty of "down" to go from there. G3 at least worked for what I used it for. Best I ever had was probably the... Was it the RAZR MAXX that had a physical keyboard? Whatever Motorola it was from then. For the time, best I had, and I still miss physical keyboards for fine motor control reasons.

Wow, Onepuls is using the Sony IMX766 sensor that’s 1/1.56” for the ultrawide. That's a huge sensor for an ultrawide and will also really help out macro photos.

FistEnergy posted:Great! When's the reveal and the end of the review embargo? Reveal was at 10am. There are several videos up now (don't know if they are full reviews or impressions, I haven't had a chance to watch yet.) Prices are. OnePlus 9 Pro (12GB RAM + 256GB storage): $1069 OnePlus 9 Pro (8GB RAM + 128GB storage): $969 OnePlus 9 (12GB RAM + 256GB storage): $828 OnePlus 9 (8GB RAM + 128GB storage): $729 What's interesting is the OP9 has the same ultrawide sensor, but a smaller main sensor. So, it seems like the OP9 is going to have better ultrawide photos than main photos. No telephoto on the OP9, same as in the past. This year the OP9 does include wireless charging (though only 15w compared to the Pro's 50w). It's also a composite (plastic) frame and no official IP rating. Still has the 65w wired charging. I would say that the OP9 is the better non-pro package they've put together in awhile. The enhanced ultrawide is an interesting choice, but at least it's not completely downgraded on cameras. Preorders on the 26th (kinda annoying it's not today). Launch is April 2nd and it looks like they have a TON more retail partners in the US including Best Buy. (though, it looks like you can order the top spec OP9P now and ships within two days.) Really kinda annoyed that the US isn't getting the special sandstone like black finish. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Mar 23, 2021 |

Wireless on the OP9 is nice. That would have been a stupid omission. I'll probably get a 9P if the reviews are good - I'd like to have a top-tier camera again.
