Google hardware... always so inspiring: https://9to5google.com/2021/02/22/google-pixel-5a-renders-leak/ Joking aside, I seriously hope Google steps up with the Pixel 6. I'm not optimistic however. Google either cannot or actively chooses not to design good hardware. The Pixel 6 should have...

Been rocking my devices naked forever. Through no fault of my own, the back plate of my Pixel 4 XL is coming off near the top. Again. This is my second 4 XL. It happened the first time late 2019 and Google sent me a refurbished replacement. Doubt they'll do it again. Google hardware and...

So far, S21+ battery has been decent. I have been using it a lot the first few days, so I'm hoping it'll get better after everything gets settled down.

re: Let's see your S21/21+ & Ultra Home screen! My main page. Simple.

Gonna guess the first is the samsung?

Anyone else rocking their S21 completely naked? Not even screen protector? Feels good. Rocking the black Plus.

The S21+ did better today with photos with the Scene Optimizer turned off. I still think it over does it a bit on the exposure and skin smoothing, and the shutter is certainly a touch slower than it should be (compared to Pixel or not, the fact is it's not instantaneous and shots def blur if...

Amazing!

I have but I do want a reliable point and shoot. Recently, I turned off "Scene Optimizer" and I think I'm getting better results? What exactly is Scene Optimizer, does anyone know? Is it what creates that over-smoothing on skin? I'm hoping to get more real world use this weekend with that...

Landscapes in good outdoor light come out nice on my S21+ as well. It's people and pets that the device fails to capture well, unfortunately. Too much over-smoothing of skin and hair giving an unnatural look, and many times, too overexposed with lack of contrast. Also, if they're moving, the...

Yeah, I'm going to give the S21+ a few more days, but I'm beginning to think the 4 XL is good enough to wait for the 6... And just hope Google comes through with a better flagship offering this year.

I love the one-hand mode and how you can simply swipe down on the gesture area to initiate it. It's so easy to use and useful. It's little extra features like these that make me enjoy One UI. This is the sort of stuff that makes stock Android feel too barbones.

Experiencing this too. I think this is a function. It just wants to make sure you know you're deleting/editing it on the local level too. It's a bit annoying to have to confirm twice. This is part of what I miss on my Pixel 4 XL, that direct Google integration.

Can't say my 4 XL has behaved that way. Sorry to hear. Weird issue...

What's funny is the opposite is true when it comes to video taking. The pixel cannot capture good contrast in video nor does it adjust well to changing lighting conditions as you're filming. Videos come out pale and muted and soft. Whereas the S21+ video capture is contrasty and vibrant and...
