Big MEH for the render of the front of the phone, but the back looks hot. Probably too hot to be true, but we'll see. Between this and the rumor of bespoke silicon. Google's at least got me interested in the idea of a Pixel 6XL.

You don't need to leave the Beta program after Google moves 11 out of Beta. They'll simply discontinue the program and unenroll everyone.

And it seems buggier than 2.1 on my 2XL. This is the first time I've ever lost access to the app drawer in a dev preview or beta release. EDIT: OK, I take that back. Looks like the swipe ups to open the app drawer and to bring up open app cards are more distinctly split than before, at least on...

I’ve sideloaded it on my 2XL, but I don’t think I’ll be spending much time with it. As you’d expect, most everything in Dev Options is strictly for devs... lots of the usual debugging and screen layout settings. The only Dev Opts that looked useful to me were for setting up the new adaptive...

It’s just clickbait, and if it didn’t make money, these self-styled online “journalists” wouldn’t live by it. When your paycheck is tied to the number of eyes you can drive to your sight, things like integrity and responsibility pretty quickly get chucked out the window.

TBH, I got FU back by doing without any sort of screen lock for a couple of days and then resetting my PIN and rescanning my face. Still a dopey thing to have to do, but simpler than a factory reset for me.

I haven't had any issues with Face Unlock until today when my phone wouldn't open and instead kept giving me an error message about not recognizing my face. I tried dumping and resetting Face Unlock but got the same error message after about an hour's time. I've disabled FU until Google fixes...

The 4A looks fine, but Google really ought to do whatever it takes to get facial recognition on the 4As. They need more phones with that new technology in order to prove the strength of their commitment to it not any more phones with FPS, and especially not any more FPS phones with attractively...

Nah. If they were letting me choose the coral version to match my oh-so-orange phone, I'd have gone for it. I might have even used it.

Just wondering... What’s your current build number?

Those of you on Fi and only Fi who got the December OTA, what's your current build number?

Make that a No for both Fi and TMo users. At least this Fi user will be sideloading tonight.

Then your luck's been better than mine. I've frequently had to sideload thanks to either Fi or TMo dragging feet.

Nothing much new there. If T-Mobile can block an update, they're gonna block that update. And for their little MVNOs, too.
