Horn posted:Is the 3a a worthwhile upgrade from an og pixel? My xl is starting to be annoying in a lot of little ways and while I could try a factory reset I haven't done that since I had the safety net of titanium backup so it makes me nervous to trust Google's back ups. Buying a 3a even if it's a small upgrade means I can at least verify I didn't lose anything during the switch. I'd skip it. the 3a is kind of underpowered and I think the Pixel 3 is 400 on Rakuten with code SAVE15.

I think the One plus line is about as low as you should go on a brand new phone provided your carrier works with them. Spending around half a $1000 on a brand new phone with slow rear end specs seems like a weird choice. Edit: As far as readily available phones in stores. There are a ton of chinese offerings with great specs for less provided they have Gapps support and your LTE bands of choice.

Yeah, most of the speculated cons or downsides are validated. I'm surprised the camera isn't blowing the competition away. (not that it looks bad). So yeah, S10+ or OP7T seem like the best choice considering they'll both have Android 10 soon/now. CoolRanch fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Oct 21, 2019 |

CLAM DOWN posted:Other than the non-XL having a ridiculous battery and the gesture feature seeming incomplete, what other "speculated cons being validated" are you referring to? And I dunno what you expected with the camera other than incremental/minor improvements. All cell phone cameras are going to be severely limited by physical sensor size, and a lot of results are going to be subjective as to how each OEM processes things. Sorry, I meant to recommend the S10+. Every other week there are great deals for it and it ticks all the boxes including a wide angle lens, gcam, and a headphone jack along with a 4100mah battery and killer screen (not 90hz but still) And the beta program for Android 10 is already out. As for Pixel 4 concerns before launch that became true: 1: lovely battery life. 2: Gimmicky motion stuff. 3: Uninspiring performance (not bad, we've seen it with every android flagship and $600 dollar phone for months) 4: High cost 5: According to android authority, P4XL keeping the time honored tradition of some hardware faults. 6: Not much to get excited about for the price. edit: Samsung has actually improved it's software updates to near monthly from my experience owning an s10+.

I'm just going to bring it up again: Most Snapdragon phones (s10 and Oneplus 7 iterations specifically) have access to versions of GCam that will bring MOST of the functionality and processing that the pixel series have.

Re: RCS and Photo Chat for family and friends. I've gotten a ton of my family and friends to just use google photos. They already have a gmail so they don't have to sign up for poo poo, it's free and it backs up their photos automatically. And as for sharing, you can literally just select some photos, hit share and tap their name, and they get a notification that takes them straight to the google photo app, no weird links or sign in required. AND it's higher quality than MMS or Facebook WOW!

Endymion FRS MK1 posted:People with OP7s, Pixel 4s, or other high refresh phones, what is everyone using as their browser? After getting annoyed with Chrome's lack of adblock and feeling like it's only running at 60hz due to ads, I decided to experiment. I was unsatisfied with Firefox Preview and Samsung Beta, tried out using Edge since I have it installed for Microsoft reward farming. Only 60hz. But then I realized I had the Bing app for it's daily offers and lo and behold it is a 90hz browser with adblock. So I guess that's my new default? I really liked using Kiwi since you can actually install desktop chrome extensions, and the dark mode for websites actually works.

RodShaft posted:I'm looking for a Sprint phone in the $200 range(lower is always better) I had an LG G6 but it started boot cycling(as all my LGs do at end of life for some reason) I'd like to not take a step back if possible but it seems a flagship phone from 2 years ago is better than anything in my price range. The phones I'm considering are... If the battery isn't on it's last legs and the screen doesn't have any burn in, then I'd go with the Note based on specs and speed alone. My girlfriend went from an OG Pixel to a Moto X4 (similar specs to the G7) and it was a noticeably slower. I don't know if you've accounted for this already, but google fi has a deal where an unlocked G7 can be had brand new for $100, and the Pixel 3a for $250. All you have to do is activate the phone and then promptly cancel, and at worst you'd be out $20 on top.

CLAM DOWN posted:You're at 76% and over 2h SOT already?? That's loving fantastic battery life! What the heck is wrong with you people? I was basing my assessment off of phonearena's benchmarks, where for the most part they are tied or close enough where you wouldn't notice a difference. go to benchmarks and add the Google Pixel, they're pretty drat close. (Aside from GPU metrics where the original Pixel is way better, making for a smoother experience) https://www.phonearena.com/phones/Google-Pixel-3a_id11060/benchmarks The original Pixel had a pretty nice chip in it, I bought a cheap moto g7 to screw around with and it's hard to recommend a new budget phone over a 3 y/o flagship.

cage-free egghead posted:The issue with recommending the Pixel is that they're 3 years old. They're on their last gasp of updates (Moto doesn't have a great track record tho) and many of the used ones at least are experiencing some type of burn in. Not to mention degraded battery life. If you can get one new for ~$200 I'd say it's worth it but that price range is becoming more competitive each year. Take a look at the Xiaomi phones that have come out lately in that range. Right, but that poster was wondering if there was much in the way of difference performance wise between his Pixel that he has now, and replacing it with a 3a for $250. Personally, I think the best deal right now is that unlocked G8 Thinq on Amazon for $399 for anyone looking for a new, nearly flagship phone.

peepsalot posted:I have a Moto X4 on Project Fi, and was thinking about maybe switching to a Pixel 3a @ $249. The 3a will be more responsive because the GPU is about twice as fast than the slow rear end X4. It won't be a night and day difference but it will definitely be noticeable in just about everything. You might wanna spend a couple of minutes with one at a store before making your decision, but I think if the x4 is driving you nuts the 3a would be a decent choice for the price. edit: The Pixel 2 will be the fastest out of the 3, I'd suggest doing some research to make sure it isn't/won't be impacted by any hardware gremlins if you decide to go with that.
