I read the Pixel 6 case will not fit the Pixel 7. Apparently, the phones are different sizes. :(

I'd like to order a custom (i.e., upload my own image) skin to cover the entire back of the Pixel 7 Pro. Most skins, like SkinIt's skins, don't cover the camera area. Dbrand does offer full cover skins, but they are not customizable. Do you know of any website that is offering full cover...

I'm happy to report that my "new to me" Pixel 4 XL got tested yesterday when it was quite below freezing on my photo and video shoot. The phone didn't shut-down once despite my fingers feeling like they were going to freeze off. So either my Pixel 2's battery is just weak and not capable of...

Just got my custom Pixel 4 XL sticker and cover.. ... which replaced my Pixel 2 Anyone who doesn't put a cover on their Pixel 4 clearly runs with scissors. My phone slipped off my desk and onto the floor twice in the past week before I finally got the case. I'm glad no damage was done.

Answering my own question... The "Say Cheese" app does exactly what I want. I tested it out and seems to work for my needs. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saychiz.remotecamera

My wacky idea.. I have two Android 11 phones (Google Pixel 2 + 4 XL). I'd like to be able to use one of the phone's camera for capturing videos and photos from positions that wouldn't allow me to view the screen to ensure the camera is actually aimed correctly, hence the use of the second...

I just purchased a used Google Pixel 4 XL on Gazelle for ~$300 to replace my Pixel 2 because I also prefer a telephoto lens over a wide-angle. The only reservation I had about the 4 was the lack of a finger print reader. However, the face unlock feature works amazingly well... better than I...

Thanks for the Pixel 5 vs S20 FE comparison. In all the reviews I've read on the Pixel 5, it appears like Google downgraded the hardware of the Pixel 5 to reach a better price point and is using software tweaks to compensate for the lower grade hardware. I applaud Google for trying to keep...

It certainly does as it's my understanding that if the phone's built in battery is below 50% capacity and one is shooting photos or video (which is apparently battery intensive), the phone may shut down if it can't get enough "juice" from the battery. This has happened to me a lot. The other...

After hemming and hawing over this for a while, I decided to buy a used Pixel 4 XL on Gazelle for $300 and am going to sell my Pixel 2 to hopefully recoup some of the expense of buying a phone that I don't really need. I just couldn't justify spending $80 for a replacement battery when that...

I also want to be using my Sony SLT-A77 (basically a dSLR) for winter photography and video, but I'm finding my Pixel 2 actually shoots better video! (That is, "better" if it doesn't shut down due to battery and cold issues.) The image stabilization in the Pixel seems to work really well for...

84% is very good. I use AccuBattery as well and my phone is at 50% capacity :-( I made the mistake of being one of those people that left the phone on the charger over night and always charged to 100% capacity.

Thanks RETG... a used Pixel 4XL is on my shortlist of replacement phones for my Pixel 2. I've been using my Sony dSLT for winter photography and videos because it doesn't shut down like my phone does, however, I found my phone's built-in image stabilization makes for much nicer and easier to...

If it weren't for my Pixel 2's battery being at 1/2 capacity, I wouldn't even be entertaining the idea of a new phone right now. The whole 5G thing hasn't really been the magic that's been promised and the Google seems to be falling behind on camera technology, so I don't see much reason to...

One of my favorite times of the year to take photographs and shoot video is winter. After a fresh snow, the world becomes a photographer's dream as everything is coated in a blanket of white. Combine that with amazing sunrises and sunsets, it's the time of year to get those cameras out...
