they actually did a small revision to the nexus 4 to add small bumps around the edge of the back to give it more grip when placed flat, but we've apparently unlearned that lesson

I'm not convinced it's what drains my battery more than I think it should, especially where I work (100% at 0800, 68% by 1700, with very little use - I think the radios are just fighting with the tin box building I work in), but a 1Hz screen would still be pretty sweet. no LTPO on the regular P8 per this leak https://twitter.com/Za_Raczke/status/1705918207486202126

strange, leakers seemed pretty sure it was going to an ultrasonic sensor and they got everything else right maybe they tested ultrasonic and then switched back to optical

what's going on with googles find-my network, they delayed it back in july citing apple still needing to roll out their side of the anti-stalker system and we still haven't heard anything since then

pretty sure apps only get put into deep sleep automatically if you never open them, which is unlikely for your main email client it's there for people who install hundreds of apps they never actually use

Desk Lamp posted:They're saying all of the Pixel 8 Pros AI wizardry is actually done on the cloud. If so, the chances of them coming to Google One subscribers just went up quite a bit. it's a mixture, the super fancy generative AI stuff runs on the cloud, but magic eraser, which ran on the cloud with an older pixel or non-pixel, runs locally instead on the pixel 8

Magic City Monday posted:I have been in Team Pixel since the Nexus 4. I was seriously considering upgrading from the 7 Pro to the 8 Pro, but it got more expensive and I'm getting tired of how big the Pros are. a potential caveat with the S24 is they're apparently switching back to using exynos chips for international models, with only the US version getting the SD8gen3, so YMMV depending on where you are exynos variants are usually worse than the snapdragon ones to varying degrees

i was put off bellroy phone cases after seeing how extremely thin the leather layer was, with examples of corners wearing through completely, but i think that was in the pixel 6 days so maybe they've improved

reminder to wait and see if the exynos version sucks before rushing to preorder the S24/S24+ outside of NA, the version in all the reviews is not the version you'll get S24U is still the same worldwide at least

KodiakRS posted:My S8 battery is 5+ years old and still usually has %50 battery by the end of the day. Didn't the EU pass something about requiring replaceable batteries. When does that come into effect? there's a carve-out in that law where devices are exempt if they meet some criteria for having X capacity left after Y charge cycles, so in practice you're not getting replaceable batteries

apparently much of the AI stuff is coming to previous gen devices when they get oneui 6.1quote:Many of the Galaxy AI features introduced on Galaxy S24 will also be supported on previous models including Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 series within 1H 2024.

i know it works for some people but the pixel in-display reader is still the only one i see complaints about with any regularity, even on the pixel 8 lord knows why google can't figure this out when they're using the same sensor OEMs as everyone else

maybe it depends on the device and whether it's a carrier version but on mine nearly all of the samsung apps can be uninstalled the normal way, there's only a few stragglers like the redundant messages app it's not like pixels are perfect in that regard either, i don't use gmail but pixels won't let you uninstall that AFAIK

okay but i want that shortcut and there's obviously a reason why they tied it to the google app instead of chrome (so they don't have to respect chrome's search engine setting)

im saying they could have just as easily made the google app not create that shortcut, and give that responsibility to chrome instead, but they don't want to for obvious reasons in fact that's exactly what firefox does as mentioned above, if you have that installed then the web search intent pops a dialog asking if you want to use google or firefox jokes on me for using chrome i guess
