Upgrade to 5G: Save $50 on the unlocked Pixel 4a today
How does the Samsung release affect your views and/or opinions on the Pixel 4?
- Didn't watch it and not interested. Haven't had a Samsung since the s3 but know people how do and can't say I will ever own another, just don't like em. I think they are over priced, over hyped, poor UI, not supported, and lags quickly. Just my 2 cents. Honesty, if my choice was either an iPhone (never had one) or Samsung, I'd probably go with iPhone.02-14-2020 08:08 AMLike 0
- Not the depth as much as the the entire square footage it takes up on the back. I said square footage because it’s nearly as big as my first apartment after college. Lol02-14-2020 08:11 AMLike 0
- OneUI is much improved over TouchWhiz. Prior to OneUi I avoid Samsung like the plague. I used the S10 side by side with the Pixel 3XL and OneUi was just as fluid.02-14-2020 08:14 AMLike 0
- Yeah...most devices seem to be going that route. I dont like block look of any of the current camera arrays but it's where we are right now.02-14-2020 08:16 AMLike 0
- If there's any more motivation to get the s20, this could be the pixel 5: https://www.androidcentral.com/appar...mpression=true
Nobody does ugly quite like Google...02-14-2020 09:39 AMLike 0 - I don't agree with this, my last 2 Samsung devices were just as fluid day 1 as day 300. That's just an old urban legend that refuses to die.02-14-2020 09:40 AMLike 0
- I will say this much, I used to have a Galaxy s8, My older Galaxy s8 was starting to slow down on Android Oreo 8.0. it wouldn't even be upgradable to 8.1.02-14-2020 09:42 AMLike 0

I haven't seen one ugly Pixel yet, maybe not my favorite but they are very restrained and conservative with design and that's not necessarily a bad thing. If that design is the winner it would be a hard pass for me, that is just not a good look at all.
Samsung has out engineered Google in nearly every way with the S20. The regular S20 is smaller in every direction -- width, height, and thickness -- yet manages to get in more cameras, a much larger battery, and only a .1" smaller screen when compared to the Pixel 4 XL.
I don't understand what Google is doing here. They've had four+ years to mature their design, and they're just not goin there. I own the 4 XL and it looks and feels fine, but no question Google can do better in so many areas.
Pixel 5 rumor mill is not off to a promising start.02-14-2020 10:56 AMLike 0 - I've had the S10+ for almost year. It's as fast as it ever was. What was the last Samsung you owned?jtcannonball likes this.02-14-2020 11:02 AMLike 1
- My last was the S6. Several friends have had all of them. They're are vary common.
Does it still have the Samsung Bloatware? If yes, then it's a hard pass.
I hate Samsung Messenger. It's ugly. Samsung app, store? No thank you. Samsung music still comes on it? No. The size of one UI is large because of the Bloatware. That's the issue with One UI.
You can put lipstick on the pig, it's still a pig. One UI is just TouchWhiz trying to remove the stank of being TouchWhiz by, calling it a a new name.

No.
Most devices have some form of bloat and you can usually disable the bloat. Even if you buy a Pixel and prefer third party apps you're in the same boat with Google apps you may not want to use. I dont use most Samsung apps but there are quite a few users who prefer some of the Samsung apps. The whole bloat argument doesnt hold much water these days.02-14-2020 11:17 AMLike 0 - 02-14-2020 02:21 PMLike 0

- Honestly, as a multi-year Pixel owner, getting "fast updates" from Google doesn't always feel like it's a feature; sometimes it actually feels like I'm a beta tester. Releases can be buggy and have proven to be so in way too many cases.
Samsung has stepped up their update game gradually these past few years, especially for their flagships. They've been up to speed with monthly security updates (as mentioned, sometimes beating Google to the punch) and not only have they been faster with full software updates, they're making calculated additions and tweaks to the software (ala One UI 2).
Samsung is firing on all cylinders. It remains to be seen whether their photography game has really improved this year. And I'm a bit bummed the in-display FPS isn't as reliable or fast. Those two things are what's holding me back... for now.02-14-2020 02:49 PMLike 0 - Honestly, as a multi-year Pixel owner, getting "fast updates" from Google doesn't always feel like it's a feature; sometimes it actually feels like I'm a beta tester.

I mean don't get me wrong, being a beta tester for Google for software isn't always an enjoyable experience it can't be fun but you have to know what to expect, and be extremely patient with the OS, and applications core applications as to use everyday of your life. I remember when Android 10 was in beta stages, it was very annoying sometimes to use but I dealt with it because I voluntarily signed up for it and it was fun to be on the bleeding edge before anyone else got it.02-14-2020 03:02 PMLike 0 - When my wife and I left Samsung after the S3, we felt like we had never even used Android before. Like a dummy, we got back in with the S6, since cases and accessories could be had everywhere you went.
That phone SUCKED. When the 9's came out, we looked again, since I had heard of this new UI.
it's not new, it's just TouchWhiz, with a new name. The messenger is still ugly, the samsung apps are still there. The store is still there. This themer was added. Sure, you get the option to remove it, but the size of the install was still huge.
Samsuck is still just Samsuck.02-14-2020 05:25 PMLike 0
