    WTF Wide angle lens?

    40X optical zoom cameras suck. Don't even go there. That means all small zoom phones suck if people are to follow your statements because nothing reaches to 20X to 40X, not just the Pixel 4. Regardless, it doesn't make 2X optical worthless. As I said, real photographers that shoot normal...

    WTF Wide angle lens?

    They do know. 24mm-70mm ranges on cameras for decades are where most informal everyday shooting takes place along with specialized events like weddings and what not. Wide angle lenses have a purpose. And it's not to "fit stuff in the frame". Google got this one correct. Make the 24mm to...

    WTF Wide angle lens?

    Well, people don't use wide angle lenses appropriately. Wide angle lenses are not for "fitting stuff in the frame" as any photographer would tell you. But 99% of the people will tell you it's nice to fit all the people in a group shot in the frame. I don't need a wide angle lens for that. I'll...

    WTF Wide angle lens?

    Wow. There is so much wrong in your post I don't even know where to start. If anyone is reading this, please skip this guy's post as it's full of inaccurate information.

    Any difference between 3xl and 2xl camera?

    Wow. Lots of misinformation. The Pixel 2's have Night Sight already and it is amazing. The actual sensors are very close...iterative if you will. You will not see much of a difference in day-to-day activity. Heck my wife's original Pixel has Night Sight. It still takes great photos but...

    Advice on buying a Pixel 3 (ATT)

    Yes it does. It doesn't support band 14 from what I read in the FCC filing.

    What are your current gripes with the Pixel / XL?

    Yet another one that doesn't really know what their phone is actually costing them.

    Getting Rid of HTC 10

    Most point and shoot cameras have sensor sizes that are 1/2.3" or 1/1.7". Both of which are usually bigger than what are in cell phones (minus the Nexus 5X/6P, the HTC 10, the Lumia phones, the Sony XPeria phones, etc.). And point and shoot lenses are worlds better than what are put in phones...

    Is the HTC 10 priced too high?

    Right. You do it the more expensive way to do it. Get a subsidized phone and pay the carrier $25 more per month per phone for 2 years. Buying the phone outright to begin with costs less over the course of the 2 years because the monthly plan typically goes down $25 per month per phone that...

    Initial Impressions of the HTC 10

    THIS is the HTC that I know and love. The main issue with this phone, which is a masterpiece, is that I don't think it's $200 better than the Nexus 6P unfortunately (or maybe not better at all). But that's the world we live in. So many great $300-$500 phones now. The ones above $600 you have...

    Photos taken with the S7/S7 Edge

    Yeah it's hard to get good bokeh with wide angle lenses even if they have an f/1.7 aperture.

    Quick thoughts from long time iphone user

    Did anyone else read this and laugh? This is completely so utterly wrong that I almost spit my drink all over my computer monitor at work because I was laughing so hard.

    Anyone using Android Pay on their 6p?

    It works with Chase cards, just no reward points. But if I'm just using it at Walgreens or McDonalds, I don't really care.

    How do you carry the 6P?

    I am righty and use the left front pocket because the wallet is in the right pocket. Also, I use my left hand to do the holding of the phone and 1 hand operation. I use the right hand on the screen for 2 hand operation. I think part of this is because of sports when I grew up. Even though...

    [Closed] Win a Nexus 6P from Android Central!

    I would love a Nexus 6P to give to my wife. We are expecting our 2nd child and will be in the hospital for Thanksgiving (scheduled already). While we'll have a ton to be thankful for, I am personally thankful for her going through a second pregnancy. This would be a nice present for her. :-)
