Whatev posted:Shoot, I have been waiting for the Pixel 3XL to replace my 45 minutes from full charge to dead 2015 Moto X Pure, but Google didn't knock it out of the park like I was hoping. The price is right around the area I don't wanna gently caress with without a real big reason to since I like to fall down and get robbed. I am currently undecided between the S9 (560 here) and the Pixel 3 (950) and that price difference makes it very difficult for me since feature wise they are not _that_ different. Though the S9 here doesn't come with the snapdragon chip but the inferior exynos

CLAM DOWN posted:That's literally $500 more than Canada for the Pixel 3. It's roughly 664€ here. That's absurd. Do you have any other places you could order it from? Like, wtf. Shrimp or Shrimps posted:I'm currently deciding between both to replace my dying phone as well since they are the only not-stupidly-big flagships, or alternatively, the-only-decent-sized-phones-with-nfc-and-waterproofing, and the price difference for me is roughly 200. But yeah I feel the same about the XZ3 and if there was a sub 6" version of the Pocophone I probably wouldn't even need a second to decide.

LastInLine posted:It occurred to me out of the blue today that it says a lot about the kind of person who is willing to post on the internet about phones that we were complaining about there never being a good place to put your phone in your car so the wires work and all that and no one brought up that women have been carrying purses for about as long as they've been driving and have never had a good place to put them. Given that we're unwilling to solve a problem that's existed with car interiors for almost a century I'm betting they aren't going to solve the wire routing and phone placement problem any time soon. Well the phone problem also affects men so I wouldn't bet on it. In fact I'm sure there's already a crowdfunding for phoneHoldR somewhere

I guess they assume that you have other things to worry about if you live in the Antarctic

Though for Samsung S20 you will have to accept a lower resolution, right? How does that look like if things are rendered below the native resolution of the screen? I would expect sharp edges to become a bit blurry, no?

What's the wireless charging situation like nowadays? If I want to charge my S20 with the full 15W do I need a Samsung charger or can I get that with e.g. an Anker too? Already got hurt switching over from a Pixel (now my pixel stand is more or less useless) and would like to try and avoid haven a dozen wireless and wired chargers and cables lying around here. But the Samsung wireless charger stand is quite expensive.

So I'm looking for a new phone, pixel 4 I have no interest in, pixel 3a seems good but should I wait for the 4a? Or are Motorola's g phones worth a poo poo? I think it's three weeks away. Three weeks of waiting for an additional year of update support

MrNemo posted:As a general note because I'm really loving glad I did it - I changed from Google authenticator to Authy as my 2FA app last week in anticipation of switching from my 2XL to a P5 and I figured I'd deal with a one off pain in the rear end to be ready for future phone changes. Last week I went on a diving trip and managed to lose my phone somewhere on the last day. Used find my phone and apparently someone had handed it in to a local pub and I've managed to get it back but somewhere between dropping out of my pocket and being handed in the screen got absolutely smashed (looks like someone threw a rock at it) and no longer functions.
