    Love that I ditched my iPhone for the Pixel 3 XL except for iMessage

    I'm kind of in the opposite boat. I've been an Android user since Nexus 4. I got a new car a few months back and have had nothing but problems with my Pixel 2 connecting to it using Android Auto. So, for the first time, I'm trying an iPhone. Got a 128gb XR for $100 less than the Pixel 3 with the...

    Any Pixel 2 owners willing to wait til the Pixel 4?

    I'm getting an iPhone or OnePlus. Haven't decided yet. I would probably just keep my P2, which I generally like, but it is so laggy at times and locks up. Plus it has major issues connecting to my car through Android Auto, which is a big deal for me.

    $100 for 64gb of storage is robbery

    So in order to prove wrong my assertion that Google is gouging customers with this phone in 2018 you bring up an example from 2012??? Please explain. Here are memory prices from phones THIS year: S9 - 64gb $620 - 128gb $670 ($50 per 64gb) S9+ - 64gb $740 - 128gb $790 ($50 per 64gb) Note 9 -...

    $100 for 64gb of storage is robbery

    We're talking about storage not memory. Not sure that info is readily available either though.

    $100 for 64gb of storage is robbery

    Not sure what I'm getting at??? It's in the title. This is the most expensive memory on any smartphone. It's a ripoff. If you can't see that, my guess is you will defend anything. Wake up and expect better.

    $100 for 64gb of storage is robbery

    Most people (me included) believe that Apple rips people off when it comes to storage. They intentionally make the base level storage option too low and 'force' people to pay high prices for extra storage. Well, Google has trumped them. $100 for 64 gb of storage. The iPhone XR offers an extra...

    Photo Storage

    Yes. In comparison to what was offered last year. Especially combined with an almost 25% increase in price. The free photo storage was a major selling point.

    Photo Storage

    Google offers free original size photo storage for the P2 through 2021 (12/31/2021). For the P3 it goes to 1/31/2022. Literally only one month longer than for a phone that came out a year ago. Seems like a chintzy way to give people less.

    Are you gonna buy a pixel or the 3 XL

    Nope. Would have got the P3 at last year's prices. Too rich for my blood.

    The devil is in the details (camera question)

    Perhaps we have different needs. I think the goal of this type of photography should be to represent as close to as possible what I'm actually seeing. That way I can record things in my life that interest me (usually not a dirty table ;-) and share them. You will just have to take my word that...

    The devil is in the details (camera question)

    I appreciate owning up to this. I was asking a sincere question, and I don't believe I'm one who is prone to exaggeration.

    The devil is in the details (camera question)

    Most pictures are honestly pretty good. At low light I often get a yellow tinge. But the biggest problem is closer up shots with details being way overrepresented.

    The devil is in the details (camera question)

    I've noticed this thing goes crazy oversaturating orange, so that wouldn't surprise me.

    The devil is in the details (camera question)

    I must be in bizarro world. I'm the only one who is actually at the location where the picture was taken. I am telling you the one the Pixel took straight out of the camera looked NOTHING like the scene I was looking at. Why would someone actively want a photo to not represent real life? I don't...

    The devil is in the details (camera question)

    The edited shot was as close as I could get it to what I see. I had to adjust the color a lot. It's brown, not red.
