Has anyone with 128GB of storage on their phone ever used up all of it? I'm eyeing a Pixel 9 Pro XL with 128GB storage. Through a promotion with US Mobile, my current cell provider, I can get a new 9 Pro XL for $699, but it is "only" 128GB of storage. (Also only available in black.) I am...

I'm still using my trusty Pixel 5a. I've never had a phone with a telephoto lens. I can think of a few instances when I wished I had a telephoto lens--pics of wildlife, at a concert, sporting event, etc.--but for the most part I'm point and shoot. Those of you that have the 9 Pro or the 9 Pro...

Perhaps the Pixel 9 lineup of phones do not have many problems? People tend to post in technical forums because something is wrong with their device(s).

Since the official charger has been shown to charge the Pixel 9 Pro XL from 0 to 100% in 1 hour 8 minutes, and since the batteries in the PIxel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro are smaller than the Pro XL, I am going to assume the official charger would charge both of these phones in less than an hour. That's...

According to this video, it took the official Google charger 1 hour 8 minutes to fully charge the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

And here are the specs for the Anker charger: Output: 5.0V=3.0A / 9.0V=3.0A / 15.0V-3.0A / 20.0V=2.25A (45W Max); PPS: 3.3V-11V=5A / 3.3V-16V=3A / 3.3V-21V=2.25A (45W Max) Looks like it would work just fine. Here is another one with the same specs. This is a twin pack. Not a name brand (that I...

I'm looking at the Pixel 9 Pro XL. I've suffered from battery anxiety in the past so any phone I get has to have a long lasting battery. I see that the Pixel 9 Pro XL can charge at 37 watts. I currently don't have any chargers capable of delivering this spec. I would need to buy a charger to...

I'm not sure, but I would guess not until Black Friday in November. I fell into the same bad timing as you are experiencing. My 2XL camera had failed in August 2021. I really wanted to get the Pixel 6 but it wasn't coming out until mid-October, so I bought the Pixel 5a. I've been surprised at...

I'm looking at either the Pixel 9 Pro or Pixel 9 Pro XL, not the base Pixel 9. 48 MP Telephoto lens on camera (Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL); 12 MP on Pixel 8 8K video recording capability Facial unlock Much brighter screen (50% brighter) with higher resolution Improved Gorilla glass Bigger battery...

The photos out of focus was the first step in the slow death of my Pixel 2XL. Like you, I found that if I switched to the selfie camera and then back to the rear camera it would take photos in focus. Eventually that technique would not work. Finally, simply opening the camera would cause the...

If Google One is expanded storage on Google Drive, then no, I don't have Google One. I can confirm that Magic Eraser works on my Pixel 5a and I don't have a Google One subscription.

Hang on a sec. I can have my smartwatch simultaneously connected to my Pixel 5a and also use a bluetooth speaker. Both are connected. I can have my vehicle bluetooth connected and my watch connected simultaneously. In my Pixel 5a Settings > Connected Devices there are categories of connected...

Yeah, I guess I'm blind. Thanks.

Is there a search function for the forums? I'm not seeing any...

The Pixel 5a is getting the innovative "Magic Eraser" photo-editing feature that was introduced on the Pixel 6 line in fall of 2021. I thought Magic Eraser would be available on 5a at some point and here it is. https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/magic-eraser-google-one-android-ios...
