I have alternated between a droid and iPhone for years now, I own both and switch between them as I fancy. Usually I would say 80% of the year was on android as I just prefer it, but damn that Apple watch Ultra is so good it is becoming harder and harder to not use the iPhone.

I like the idea of it but have never really used it. As I said above too I am not sure what I think about all of this AI stuff in terms of privacy. I mean they probably know everything about me already, but still.

Yeah, I wish I had ordered it direct from Google rather than Amazon.

Ok, a few days in with the Pixel 8 pro, so here is an update vs the S23U for those who are interested. Don't get me wrong I like the 8 pro a lot but I'll admit to a little buyers remorse already. As expected, I prefer the Pixel camera overall for sure, as with my previous pixel experience it...

Yes, it does improve things slightly but it is still not great.

I have the S23U and have just got the 8 pro. I'm reluctant to sell the S23U as I have the ltd edition colour but having both is silly and now is maybe the time to sell as the closer to January we get the value will likely tank. I think the camera seals the deal for me, living with that shutter...

I used to be a pro photographer too and agree but honestly sometimes the Pixel with it's computational photography often makes me just go wow. I would have been cranking the ISO up opening the lens up and walking the shutter speed tightrope to get some of those shots on an SLR not that long...

I have both and for most instances the Pixel camera is still better. Yes the S23U's camera is more versatile but for just pointing the main camera something and delivering a better photo the Pixel is still better especially if that something is kids or pets.

Looking at some the pictures this looks more like motion blur than shutter lag? Pixel looks correctly exposed the S23 slightly over exposed so maybe the Pixe is just choosing a faster shutter.

I am a regular phone switcher in that I always have a droid (sometimes 2) and an iPhone and will switch between them. I only use one at a time and only have one sim card. To date the biggest hassle with this has been whatsapp device registration but more recently whatsapp seems to be more...

I have the P7P and Galaxy watch 5 pro and it is not totally seamless. Media controls do not seem to work at all, what is playing displays on the watch but the controls are greyed out. Also seems to drop it's connection occasionally.

I think it will be fine for drops, I am thinking more scratches. How long before the back starts to look that an old school iPod classic!

I am really enjoying my 6a but it is bitter sweet in a way in that I wish there was a flagship phone at this size. I do not miss 90 or 120hz at all which I was surprised about but little things like wireless charging are a miss. Also as someone who does not use cases I am worried as to how the...

Like YankInDaSouth I switched back to the S22U this morning. I think I have finally decided to sell the Pixel.

I switched back to P6 Pro this morning (shortly after posting photos above) and it was all fine until 5 minutes ago the FPS just refused to recognise my thumb, completely out of the blue and ended up asking for my pin. Has been pretty bad since too, circa 20-30% hit rate. I have probably...
