There is no reason for you to buy an android if you've already got an iPhone

again, i use an android by choice and i totally agree. if you use an iphone, continue to use iphones. if you have no smartphone, get an iphone. androids are, by and large, for masochists.

my pixel 5 may be the last android phone i buy, too, because i don't like anything google is doing with their new phones (they're too loving big!!) and lmao @ buying from any other manufacturer. i like my current phone but there's nothing good on the horizon

did you not see? the pixel has way more ram which is definitely something you should care about in your phone

I literally just had someone on reddit tell me that the Pixel 7 has twice the ram the iPhone 12 does and that's why it's superior.

Does it really have a bigger battery?

What if you measure it in terms of the thing that people care about (hours) instead of the thing that nobody cares about (joules)?

promotion isn’t only about higher refresh rates but being able to drop the refresh rate down to 10hz (or 1hz on the 14) while nothing is moving on the screen. That saves a lot of battery life.

hmm on the one hand the new android phone has more and faster ram, and a bigger battery

but the old iPhone runs faster and lasts longer

it’s so hard to decide!

quote:

Google's ads had on-air personalities give first-hand accounts of how much they liked the Pixel 4, but, to quote the FTC's press release, "the on-air personalities were not provided with Pixel 4s before recording and airing the majority of the ads and therefore did not own or regularly use the phones." Therefore the first-person claims made in the ads, like, “It’s my favorite phone camera out there, especially in low light, thanks to Night Sight Mode,” “I’ve been taking studio-like photos of everything,” and “It’s also great at helping me get stuff done, thanks to the new voice-activated Google Assistant that can handle multiple tasks at once,” can't be true.

Not the smallest, there's a 2.5" one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001452960369.html


I'm considering getting one (or probably the XS12 which is slightly larger but way better) as a backup that I could use for traveling, because smashing the screen on the S22 Ultra really loving sucks, as it turns out.

The only truly good android phones were the Sony Xperia compact series and they stopped making them. The last semi-decent Android phone was the Pixel 5 and they stopped making those too. No Samsung phone has ever been good. There are no even slightly good Android phones left.

"the minorities" should not ever be a part of corporate marketing

they are not a monolith

unless you're referrring to a specific minority in which you should br incredibly clear about it

the minority of people who want a small phone

a small phone being a minority too, it's a sort of pun, or joke, if you will

despite this being the internet, the word minority does not necessarily have to refer to a social qualifier

god drat OnePlus how have you managed to gently caress up a loving clock? phone updated and now you can only have one timer running at a time instead of being able to set multiples

at least the alarm toggles are actually possible to press now I guess, and you no longer have to drag the hands round on a clock face to set an alarm which was about the worst way to set it you could imagine
