I picked up a Pixel 6 today. So far so good. I couldnt pass up the BB sale with $150 off. (Verizon model, not the pro model). They even had a Sorta Seafoam color in stock, so I grabbed the last one. Cool color.

They have been $300 off every year since the Pixel 2 during BF week. Specifically at Best Buy, never buy from the carrier store. At Best Buy, it's a straight $300 off at purchase - you then finance the balance. At Verizon, they offer the same amount, but with those BS bill credits over...

My Samsung Tab 6 came with the S-pen, and I rarely use it. However, it would be very hard to.scratch the screen. The tip is like a felt material. The only great use I have for it is signing PDF documents for contracts and such. Using your actual handwriting in some documents is so much...

I use MyRadar. It's very accurate and fast, as I use it often here in Florida. It's very good with the notifications of how soon and how long its about rain. Many settings to adjust those notifications or not have at all.

I need a new phone now due to my Pixel 3XL battery growing like a hump back whale and I don't know how much longer she will last. Unfortunately, the Samsung S21 deals at Best Buy make the Samsung's much cheaper. And I haven't seen a meaningful sale for the Pixel 5 since Black Friday. For...

In the past, Google /Best Buy would run several promos per year that would eventually get me to upgrade. I've seen only the black friday sale, and I believe they did a $5 off a payment plan another time. Although I could have missed a sale or two, but I check once a week. As you can see...

No, I haven't. I've read that Firefox Focus really isn't good for your main browser because it erases everything each time for privacy, like history and bookmarks. I'm not an expert on it though. I still need a browser that remembers me on some websites to avoid constant logging in, but still...

Brave. Best ad blocker built in, in my experience.

Try to adjust in Developer Options. There is a Display Cutout option on my Pixel 3 that allows adjusting the notification bar and the size of cutouts and punch holes.

I'm, not sure which one specifically but I'm sure XDA forums can point you in the right direction. In my experience, the Google Camera APk is practically identical to the stock Pixel. I've installed them on numerous devices with much improved quality from stock. The tricky part is ensuring...

No import the Google Camera APP software, and see if that give you best of both worlds. The gap might negligible this year with the Pixel 5 not including the Nueral Core chip.

Not sure if mentioned already, but Best Buy has the Pixel 5 for $649 for the unlocked version. $50 off. Its been that price since launch I believe at BB.

Thanks for the visual! The big notch on the 3XL makes so much screen unusable, they really should only count the usable area below the notch for screen size. Both the left and right side of the notch go dark in full screen or camera mode. Useable area doesn't appear significantly...

I'll be upgrading from my 3XL. I skipped the 4 because of lack of FPS and no wide angle lens. Those are now featured. Another important issue was the RAM, stuck at 4mb on my 3xl. Getting tired of every app refreshing while multitasking. The 8mb of ram on the 5 will help greatly. As far...

One interesting tidbit I noticed: If using the volume down/power button method, the screen captures my notification bar and the 3 button bar. If using the screen shot button, the screen capture does not capture the top notification bar or bottom 3 buttons. There is still space there, but...
