After you have your sim in the Pixel, iMessage registration will drop your phone number, but iMessage tied to your email would still work in the background (like on your Mac or iPad). Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk

I just ordered a Bespoke edition yesterday (Dec 7) and wonder whether I’ll get it before the holidays. Probably not. For those that ordered a Bespoke around Black Friday, did you get yours yet?

I got the Spigen glass protector for my S21 Ultra. I really like it. The installation was a bit messy but the glass is really good quality. It's like using the screen without a protector...

Received the same update today on S21 Ultra purchased from Samsung Canada.

Each year, they seem to be coming up with bigger and uglier camera bumps. https://www.slashgear.com/pixel-5-prototype-leak-is-sending-shivers-down-the-internets-spine-16609962/ When the pixel 4 photos were first leaked, I was convinced that it was too ugly for me to buy one. I ended up...

I found the face unlock awesome on my Pixel 4. The telephoto lens is good by itself, but it does not match up in color with the regular lens. When I take a video and zoom in past 2.0x, the video brightness and hue level changes. This is such an amateur oversight.

It baffles me to see older Pixels got the update before the newest one, and even Samsung Note 10, 9 and S10 got the update already.

This is really unfortunate. I'm glad I chose the Just Black though, and really am enjoying it.

Based on the used market of Pixel 3, by far, most people got the 64GB version. I think people manage to get by. You will likely find a way to live with 64 GB too.

I chose the Pixel 4 because I could never get use to the plus size phones. I do care very much the battery level of my phone, to the point that I plugin my phone whenever possible. When I am traveling (not in reach of power outlets), I always bring a battery pack. Anyway, my experience with...

The attached photo shows what I mean by "vertical banding" issue. It was taken in a dark room, at ~50% screen brightness, while playing this YouTube test video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi4Wy7vE8-o Essentially, I only see the banding when using the screen in a dark room, and it is show...

I just watched hours of Netflix and the battery meter barely dropped. Samsung claims it will have a battery life of 14 hours from a full charge, and I am excited to think that it may actually be able to deliver that. Awesome!!

A video showing how thin the S5e is https://youtu.be/tzvtHV2Sz3E

I prefer the S5e for its fingerprint reader, thinner tablet, lighter weight. The Samsung book cover for S5e is also less bulky because it is magnetic.

I found the Tab S5e to be more than adequate for what one can expect from a tablet. It certainly has one of the best screen for movies and Netflix. You would not have any problem with email and web browsing. It was also fine for remote desktop, which was quite easy with keyboard and mouse...
