Amazing in 2023 people still referencing that 30 year old battery University article.
And liquid screen protector with a physical screen protector? C’mon my guy it’s just a phone.

It is interesting that the price has already dropped on the P8 and is expected to continue to drop thru black Friday.
This is precisely why I never buy new anymore, having been burned by two previous Pixel releases in the past.
This chip situation doesn’t bode well for my continued Pixel use however.
Software is important but it isn’t everything, and like the article said raw horsepower does matter. For me. The most important things are battery, life display brightness, and cellular connectivity - something my pixel 6 Pro objectively fails at on all three fronts.
Combine that with all of the data theft that Google software utilizes, and I think I’m pretty much done.
Ah yeah I hear ya. Those are definitely useful functions. I love my Chromebook as well.
Hover over what exactly? What precisely do you need to pop up for to explain what it does?
They have not and likely will not.
It’s too fucking huge.
I’m in the same boat and remember seeing reports that the chipset is not expected to run much cooler which is my main reason for wanting to ditch the P6P.
Here’s one example: An Insta 360 camera for a single 10 minute video can produce upwards of 10gb of data.
Those video files can only really be transferred to your phone for editing and sharing.
That’s ONE example that doesn’t include gaming (a highly mainstream community) that also requires gigabytes of storage.
Enjoy it while it lasts mf
Well good luck with that
My old one plus phone is esim compatible and I wouldn’t be mad if it broke or was stolen. I’ve made it my travel phone.
Big if with a long window in the tech world.
Wa wa wa FOSS nerds. Don’t try and push shit on me if you don’t fully understand it.
My amazfit watch does all the shit the Google watch does (and more) and it has lasted two years already. When it breaks I won’t feel bad about getting a new one because they’re that good, and priced right.
If something costs nothing then you are the product though. Have you looked into their TOS?
Thanks! I actually already have a PIA subscription that I use frequently
Well, not sure if I have that then.
P6P here had it since day one. My battery is not in the best shape, but not terrible either.
I just charge when it’s needed and adaptive charging has done a pretty good job of keeping the battery healthy.
Overall though at the end of the day I’m not sure there’s too much we as the user have control over.
