Do you guys think that the regular Pixel 4 got a small battery because 1) Google didn't WANT a bigger battery (i.e. to incentivize charger sales, more frequent upgrades, etc.) or 2) Google COULDN'T fit a bigger battery because their design capabilities are subpar (i.e. Google has always been...

I'm interested too. I think it's highly unlikely that Soli or 90hz will be in the 4a because those are cutting edge features. My guess is that it gets the telephoto lens and incremental bumps in processor, screen size, and bezel reduction with all other specs staying the same as the 3a.

Just wondering how many hours of SoT or what other kind of usage you're doing on one charge to have that experience? Killing a Note 10+ in one day is no small feat for a phone like that.

How do you actually carry these phones? In your pockets!?

It's launching with T-Mobile next month. Ironically, one article I read said that $600 is not that great of a price because for just $70 more, you can get the 7 Pro (which is also available in the US). OnePlus is just in another dimension when it comes to value.

It's coming to T-Mobile on Oct. 18.

You couldn't wait just three more weeks?

The OnePlus 7t was just announced with these specs: 855+ 8GB RAM 128GB UFS 3.0 Storage 90Hz 6.55" screen 30W fast charging Triple camera setup $600 I know the "name brand" phones aren't directly comparable to Chinese phones, but still, Google can do a whole lot better in the value department...

I thought the $650 price for the Pixel 2 was very fair. Within 2 months of launch, there were 200-300 worth of incentives it to bring it down even further. Now, just two years later, we're hoping the base model P4 isn't 40% more expensive. None of this is unreasonable.

They'll surely be using a heavy amount of AI to make it more secure than other implementations. I'm expecting them to discuss it heavily on Oct. 15 making their case for what's so great about it, why it's so secure, etc.

I don't believe the pricing leak. Certainly not those non-discounted prices. From a bill of materials standpoint, Pixel 4 XL will be very very comparable to the OnePlus 7 Pro. Swap a camera mechanism for Soli and swap a more expensive file storage system for a cheaper one but with wireless...

They practically already do. One month after the flagship line comes out, it's black Friday and it falls to around that 700 mark. It spends a lot of time being discounted to near that 700 mark for much of it's life. Another thing is that the a series may creep up in price over the next few...

That is not a deal in the slightest. With the Note 10, it's only $100 to go from 256 -> 512GB and that's for UFS 3.0 storage. For the OnePlus 7 Pro, it's only $30 for 2 extra GB of RAM AND to go from 128 -> 256 GB of UFS 3.0 storage. A deal, for the older UFS 2.1 storage which is what the...

Medium bezels > slim bezels > large bezels (if used for stuff) > teardrop > holepunch > large bezels (if not used for stuff) > medium notch > P3 XL notch

The latest leak regarding the camera is pretty disappointing. I was always hoping the second rear camera was a wide-angle lens but after the random tweet about a 20x hybrid zoomed photo, I thought maybe it would match or exceed the 5x optical zoom that the Huawei P30 Pro has. That would have...
