    Pixel 5a Wins the 2021 Blind Smartphone Camera Test!

    Interesting. My eyes are not the best. To me all decent phones take great pics. I am a camera snob during purchase however and will trust reviews. Guess that is a hinderance of sorts. Latest and greatest ...hmm...maybe not. My Pixel 6, when updated, has the hardware to dominate. We shall see...

    Thoughts on the January update?

    Rather than waiting for my Pixel 6 Jan update I reverted to my Pixel 5A. My 5A is not updating to Jan update either. This is strange due to my normal update is on 5th on month. Yes, I could flash it but if Google isn't pushing it out I'm wary. So, still on Dec update with my 5a. No issues currently.

    When are the reviews coming out?

    IMO: Waiting for Pixel 2 furor to subside. X4 looks like it might be a flagship killer. With specific areas under-powered but overall fluid experience. Proof will be in the pudding..as they say. I am waiting for reviews also.

    Moto X Pure Edition

    Google has apparently adopted Apples vision: Control the hardware along with the software. Benefits include QC, focused support with limited variants. Being "beta" means we are currently lab animals. With a compelling economic model; Stomping out the bugs is high priority. IMO: We will see...

    Upgrade to Lollipop or avoid it like the plague?

    Google threw L 5.0 out the door half-baked. Sony did a great job and it's Z3 Compact runs well with L5.02 [currently]. L5.1 is due next month, don't know what that will bring. I agree, it's a great phone.
