or any android

velvet kindle
#

man i dunno what yall do with your phones

#

even my s8 still does most of a day on a full charge and its 5 years old

low berry
#

My Note 10 usually lasts one or two days

velvet kindle
#

where is my pixel pass summer

wet gull
#

I have arrived

mild star
#

Ive enjoyed my pixel 5 but its not very impressive.

wet gull
#

tbh Pixel phones are never technically impressive outside of the camera post processing stuff Google does. They just have a bunch of QoL things sprinkled around it.

mild star
#

the main QoL feature I bought it for, the auto answering and taking notes, doesnt work

wet gull
#

The Screen Calling thing?

brittle harness
#

I guess they do still list it as rumored

wet gull
#

I'm in for that white

brittle harness
#

How fast will be they gone

#

really fast, or really really fast

wet gull
#

For this one I don't know. Pixel devices don't really sell but people are now in the mindset of oooo Google is doing their own SoC like Apple.

brittle harness
#

I'm interested to see what trade ins might look like

#

if I can get an ok amount for my oneplus 7 pro ima go for one

#

this is assuming they'll even take one plus devices

velvet kindle
#

lol he leaked early

#

that phone is huge

#

did he say they are 256gb max?

#

i thought there was a rumored 512

brittle harness
#

Currently this is what they offer for my phone

#

sad

velvet kindle
#

my phone is cracked

#

so meh

wet gull
#

Kinda annoying it's not frosted glass

brittle harness
#

I really don't need a new phone, but I was hoping maybe they'll up trade in value in value or somethin

velvet kindle
#

i dont really care tbh

#

its going in a case

wet gull
brittle harness
#

That's what I'm hoping for

#

all the rumors about google putting $$$$ into trade ins

wet gull
#

I know EU gets a free pair of those Bose headphones with it

#

Target had something about the $99 Pixel Buds for free

brittle harness
#

that's definitely a big yawn from me

#

I know I could sell them, but that's a pain

#

Just gotta hold out for bigggg trade in value

velvet kindle
#

im not gonna bother on tradein

#

pixel pass here i come

#

id rather have a backup 2fa device sitting in a closet if i need it

wet gull
brittle harness
#

If I do go for one, I'm going to miss the selfie cam on this one, Its rarely used and being able to just stow it away when not needed is great

wet gull
#

Someone posted a Verizon live chat showing $350 off Pixel 6 pre-order with no mention of trade-in through.

brittle harness
#

I do a prepaid plan with mint mobile, so trade in value is kinda all I got

#

I guess I could go back to another carrier, but that would throw away like... 9 months of my year plan

wet gull
#

Idk if Google has ever been known for good trade-in deals directly through their store. That has always been Samsung's thing.

#

That Youtuber took his video down wkek

brittle harness
#

lol

wet gull
#

Stream has started the pre-show panning shots

#

I wish the 6 Pro had that wasabi green

green wasp
#

Android 12 is up

#

brittle harness
#

I guess they did say that only preorders would go live at 10pst?

#

are they spend this much time just talking about colors

green wasp
#

gosh if only it was smaller

velvet kindle
#

i think i have to apply for financing first

#

w/e my credit can take the hit

green wasp
#

why the fuck do you have a 6.4 and a 6.7" phone

#

they're the same size

brittle harness
#

@velvet kindle I assume you're going with the pro?

velvet kindle
#

green wasp

The actual deal, because target.com doesn't have it

green wasp

velvet kindle
#

wet gull
#

Buds are free

velvet kindle

This is what I get in cart for it

brittle harness
#

Does google not provide a warranty beyond a year?

#

oh yeah, it's just a year

wet gull
#

For the 2 XL they extended it but they've always been 1yr as far as I know

green wasp
#

buy it with a credit card with a phone warranty

wet gull
#

And you have 2 weeks after delivery or something to add their extended care thing

green wasp

Believable

brittle harness

brittle harness
#

Interesting...

green wasp
#

brittle harness
#

I clicked the link on that page for trade in, and it gives me 50$ more on trade in

velvet kindle
#

green wasp
#

fucking why is every phone they released > 6.3"

velvet kindle
#

brittle harness

wet gull

Oh wait you're not on Verizon right?

brittle harness

wet gull
#

proper

green wasp
#

mfw all are apparently sold out except

#

ALL of the Pros except the black base 128GB model. WTF.

velvet kindle
#

and now i cant select myself in fi

wet gull
#

I secured one for my brother from Best Buy. 128GB Sorta Sunny

#

I can't get a Stormy White anywhere, 128 or 256

velvet kindle
#

just getting hard errors now

wet gull
#

I got a black 128GB from Amazon just to be safe, but I'm still trying Google Store and Best Buy for Stormy White

green wasp
#

so scuffed

wet gull
#

big scuffed

#

I'm still trying for white from them

wet gull
#

Got my 128GB Stormy White from Best Buy.

green wasp
#

nice daddy

velvet kindle
#

never gettin one

wet gull
#

Of course the Google Store is working now

velvet kindle
#

pixel pass is gone now

#

i can always add it later though iirc

#

i think their financing partner broke

brittle harness
#

I saw that, and was like how do they know I'm broke and can't afford it anyways

wet gull
#

Oooh shit the Google Store delivery is end November

brittle harness
#

damn

wet gull
#

Good thing I got from Best Buy then lol

#

Came with the free buds but I was in such a rush I didn't get the olive green buds

#

Stuck with the full-on white ones peepo worried they'll get dirty quick

green wasp
#

live chat them

wet gull
#

Don't wanna risk borking my order

velvet kindle
#

fi store dying again

#

i think the pixel pass really screwed this launch

wet gull
#

Google's Store screwed this launch

#

If it wasn't for Best Buy I'd be boned

#

@velvet kindle I can do checkout via Google Store for Pixel Pass no issues

velvet kindle
#

same

#

but thats the credit card?

#

is that the same as direct through fi?

#

trying to figure out the difference

wet gull
#

Ok that's weird

#

When I did it from main Pixel Pass page, it goes to financing. When I did it through this sub-page, it lets me pay it all-out.

#

But yeah the Google Store monthly is done through Google Financing

green wasp
#

tfw scroogled

wet gull
#

Hmm when I tried doing normal checkout for Pixel Pass it shows monthly payments in the checkout. I don't get it lol

velvet kindle
#

it doesnt make any sense at all to preorder the google charger right?
the standard wall one
it doesnt offer anything that similar or higher wattage amazon models dont, right?

#

@wet gull i got 256gb black pixel pass

#

just not through fi

wet gull
velvet kindle
#

direct through the store

#

gave up on fi store

wet gull
#

I couldn't get 256GB Stormy White. Shit was impossible so settled on 128GB.

#

Knowing my luck it's easily available on Google Store now.

velvet kindle
#

unlocked 512 available for me

#

fwiw

#

blkack

wet gull
#

I'm not allowed to talk too much about this right now, but I did record a 20 minute, 4K, 60 FPS video on a Pixel 6 with no overheating issues. (I got bored after 20 minutes.)

#

This sounds promising

#

So 512GB is an option?

velvet kindle
#

yes

#

it was on some pixel pass options too

#

black only i think

#

sunny yellow only 128

wet gull
#

Shortage probably played a hand in the storage options

wet gull
#

Full specs

wet gull
#

Which I don't mind a teeny bit slower phone if it runs cooler and lasts longer

green wasp
#

I want both like Apple does

wet gull
#

It's gonna take time for that

green wasp
#

no they'll never do that

#

they'll keep using stock ARM cores

#

and gimping them

wet gull
#

But even then, the 13 Pro Max is the outlier for the incredible battery. The other iPhone's are about average with flagship Android's.

green wasp
#

that's fine light

wet gull
#

I'm expecting Pixel 6 Pro to come in a little bit under 13 Pro Max for battery but still above the rest.

green wasp
#

on par with Android with better peformance

#

is goal

wet gull
#

Google is also doing way more on-device AI/ML stuff here, and that's partially why they went with the Tensor

green wasp
#

gods plan

#

I wish that ARM made better SOCs

wet gull
#

Would be nice

#

I was surprised to see Tensor was 5yrs in the making

green wasp
#

wtf it was

#

says who

wet gull
#

Was an interview

#

Started in April 2016

green wasp
#

link

wet gull
#

Pretty much started taking form right as Rick joined.

green wasp
#

gosh

#

imagine if they make a Pixel 7 human hand sized

#

that'd be great

#

Gosh I hope one day Google stops copying Apple tho

#

Drop headphone jack, No more XL, now just Pro

wet gull
#

If the regular 6 was slimmer bezels and 120Hz LTPO I would've got that instead tbh

#

I don't necessarily wanna go back to a 6.7" monstrosity, but it's my best option atm

green wasp
#

bruh it's literally over an inch larger screen than my phone

#

fuck off google

wet gull
#

On second look, the 6 bezels aren't even that bad

green wasp
#

it's just fucking huge

wet gull
#

Yeah 6.4"

#

It's not too far off from the 6 Pro really

green wasp
#

I want a phone the size of the 4a

#

5.8", no bezel smaller than my 5.6" 3a

wet gull
#

A 6a will probably happen

green wasp
#

Will it be fucking stupid like the 5a?

wet gull
#

@green wasp People are getting the devices $100 off from Target as they ran out of stock for the Pixel Buds and Target is giving them the discount in its place.

#

So $499 for Pixel 6 and $799 for Pixel 6 Pro. sweatblob

green wasp
#

wtf

#

WHY CAN'T IT BE A NORMAL FUCKING SIZED PHONE

#

Thank you for this post. You forced my hand and made me place a pre-order haha. Got my 128gb sorta seafoam Pixel 6 for $448.99 between what you said and my employee discount/red card. I already have the regular Pixel Bud 2's so I really didn't need the A's that everyone was offering for free.

#

@wet gull fucking Google only like big hand

wet gull
#

Wow that's an insane deal for $448

#

Still impressed how aggressive Google went with pricing, but because they went so aggressive with the 6 people think the 6 Pro is a bit too high at $899 but even $899 is undercutting everyone else.

#

@brittle harness Online

brittle harness
#

I keep thinking about it

wet gull
#

Part of the pre-order promo

#

Not gonna lie I wish I could've taken advantage of that as well lol. I'll take the free buds, but I'd rather take $100 off the cost of the phone if I could.

brittle harness
#

can you do the google preferred care thing on a device purchased from target?

wet gull
#

I actually don't know about that one

#

I was debating adding it to my Best Buy 6 Pro but idk how it would be done.

brittle harness
#

I was kinda hoping they would end up on us cellular (the one my parents use, so I can just throw mine on their plan), but they only started selling the 5 a few months ago

wet gull
#

They have the new Samsung foldables, surprised they don't have the new Pixel's

#

I think Verizon has the best carrier deal right now though. $700 off 6 Pro even if your phone is damaged.

brittle harness
#

yeah

#

My roommate uses it, so I can save a bit of money, because a single plan is like, 75$

#

Would still be at least 65$ or somethin

wet gull
#

Depending on the data you use, Fi might be worth looking into.

brittle harness
#

This makes it sound like it's only devices from the google store

wet gull
#

That's exactly what it sounds like peepo

brittle harness
#

I do find this a bit interesting thou..

unknown.png
wet gull
#

Samsung's deals are always insane

brittle harness
#

I'm actually considering it

#

Only issue would be that I have 9 months remaining on my current mint mobile plan

wet gull
#

Played with it in the store, really nice phone but crease is a dealbreaker for me.

brittle harness
#

So I would waste like, 300$~

#

maybe I'll just go look at one

#

Talking to someone in us cellular's chat help thing, seeing if they will carry the pixel 6

#

taking a while to respond

wet gull
brittle harness
#

Maybe I'll go look at phones this weekend

wet gull
#

People have noticed Pixel 6 demo units popping up in Best Buy's

#

Fold stuff should def be there as well in the Samsung section

brittle harness
#

Might actually have to look at a fold 3 review, because I don't think I've actually watched one since the original

#

And take a trip to best buy

wet gull
#

Fold 3 made yuge improvements, rumors have it that Google is working on a foldable Pixel as well

brittle harness
#

Flip 3 also seems neat

#

I just wonder how much I'd hate the bend

wet gull
#

The crease is pretty noticeable

brittle harness
#

shittt, I didn't even think of that

#

you can't really use a regular car mount for the fold

wet gull
#

Foldables need more time to bake. If my experience with this new Pixel goes good, I'll likely stay within the Google ecosystem and check out a foldable they'll do.

brittle harness
#

Maybe our best buy will get a demo unit, I'll run over there later today

#

It's a stupidly small best buy so I doubt it

#

but we'll see

#

Damn, the fold might actually be the best thing to watch 4:3 content on

velvet kindle
#

with the most expedited shipping from google it was nov 3 for me

brittle harness
#

We'll see what they mean by "you will get" because all I asked was if they were carrying it at all

#

Us cellular isn't much of an online retailer, so maybe they'll just be doing preorders in store too?

wet gull
#

Most likely, and depending on how popular they are, might be easy to go in and grab one.

brittle harness
wet gull
#

I wanna see the watch they're supposedly working on. I imagine both the foldable and watch will show up at whatever hardware event Google does next.

brittle harness
#

the watch will definitely be interesting, I have the original ticwatch from like... 2018 I think

#

The software experience isn't great

mild star
#

Would love a pixel tab update

brittle harness
#

Something to compete with the ipad pro would be great

#

I doubt it's possible

wet gull
#

If a Pixel Tablet ever happened again, it should have the Tensor and run ChromeOS.

#

ChromeOS is getting heavy Android integration these days and imo it suits the larger screen better than just regular Android.
