The A54 5G is still the go-to midranger when esim support is one of the must haves?

Looked into it a bit since I like the idea of a small powerful phone with a big battery but only two years of OS updates seems really poor, when google is about to move to 5 and even other manufacturers are offering double that.

I phrased that poorly, I meant double the two years that Asus offers, like Samsung and OnePlus do.

Do they usually have reviews up right after the announcement or are reviewers only getting their devices in the coming days? I'm curious to read a deep dive on the 8, since I could probably upgrade for 200-300 Euro between trade-ins and selling the Pixel Watch 2 but from just the spec sheet I don't see the value over the 7.

You see that pretty much with all tech stuff. What's your take based on the specs so far? More of a refresh than a substantial upgrade?

If these upgrades are enough to allow for smooth scrolling of the Google Now feed for the first time, hell, I might even upgrade myself.

Is this not just Google not wanting to deal with self imposed deadlines? Instead of stories about updates being delayed from the usual schedule, they're saying the schedule is just "when it's done", which really just means there is no schedule.

bull3964 posted:Google has managed to do Level 3 Biometrics with a simple front facing camera. I may be missing something obvious but that stuff isn't regulated, is it? Isn't it just Google deciding whatever level of security they can achieve with a single cam is good enough? It's not independently verified or whatever, is what I'm trying to say.

Learned with some surprise this morning that, after updating to Android 14, my alarm was blocked by having DND on. I assume, since I've not seen any posts about this, this is some weird bug that happened to only me tho?

ShoogaSlim posted:assuming you've checked these settings and allowed alarms to interrupt dnd? I had everything set up correctly and after updating to Android 14 alarms weren't allowed through DND anymore, I've since set it up again but worth looking in your settings just to make sure is what I'm saying.

I noticed since upgrading my P7P to Android 14 those automated texts with a one time use code arrive quicker than before, used to I often had to wait over 30 seconds to a minute, now they always arrive within 10 seconds. Has anyone else noticed something similar? I feel like it must be a phone side change, since it started happening right after the 14 update.

Google has recently implemented a change where, when paying with Google Pay at an NFC terminal, I have to confirm payment via fingerprint which I find quite annoying. I remember that the facial unlock on the Pixel 8 is considered fingerprint equivalent, can anyone confirm that and that you don't need the fingerprint to pay at a NFC terminal? I'm in Europe, in case region matters at all.

Bull do you reckon the 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL will have equal battery life? I think the 9 Pro is the most interesting to me personally but a worse battery life than the XL, if significant, would be tough to swallow.

quote:With the Pixel 9, Google is finally making the switch to an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The specific unit used is Qualcomm’s 3D Sonic Gen 2 (QFS4008) — the same exact model as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The fingerprint scanners on Samsung devices have been excellent for a while now, so this is good news.

How does yubikey work in practice? A site, PayPal for example, pops up a 2FA code window and instead of entering a code you have to press a button on this plugged in USB stick?

bull3964 posted:Yeah, internally they are different, I was only talking about the exterior dimensions. I was a bit surprised by the screen being the same size too, thought they might differentiate it via the bezels but no. I'll still go for the Pro I think, mainly for the better screen and cooling, hopefully that'll translate into better battery life.

bull3964 posted:For RIGHT NOW, I would say your best bet at broad compatibility is the Google charger. $29.99 is a bit overpriced, but it's not horribly out of this world as far as pricing goes. That said, it's not going to make a huge difference in total charge times as the battery has to be pretty low for it to hit max charge rates and it doesn't stay at them long (like pretty much all fast charging). You could have said trust me on this and I would have, appreciate the detailed response tho!

Bull do you know of a multiport charger that supports PPS and Supervooc? I have a Pixel and a OnePlus Pad and I can only fast charge the pad on the charger it came with, which is mildly annoying.
