Losing Interest In 3 XL

Again....if they're indeed the same size, why is the 2XL "relatively large" and the 3XL comically large?
Because technology changes.

The Pixel 2 bezels would have been fine in a 2014 phone because phones had larger top and bottom bezels back then. But in 2017, it looked very dated. The P2XL, even though it had an 18:9 screen still had larger top and bottom bezels and side bezels than other flagship phones in 2017, so that's why I said relatively large - the bezels were relatively large compared to the competition.

Now in 2018, you have extremely slick looking phones with very small bezels and small notches, so the P3XL is compared to them. The notch on the P3XL is the largest, most intrusive notch in a phone that I've seen.

It's like the companies that specialize in hardware did basic hardware advances in the companies that don't didn't. While at the same time, Apple excluded, the companies that specialize in software advances are advancing the software while the companies that don't are not. And yet we all seem to be surprised about everyone doing exactly what they always do.
 
We keep discussing these differences. Funny to me that Apple's announcement yesterday... No mention of RAM... No mention of battery life... Go to the website to check the specs, only thing I see is (to summarize) "better than what you got now" .. and people are filling the que to order with no regard to what the spec sheet ends up saying.

Those are not your tech geeks , those are fashion statement people

I for one don't want conformity to rule the industry in every aspect. It's OK to be similar.... just not the same.

Sure! Point remains, these spec conversations are for a very limited population. The XS will without a doubt have worse specs than anything Google produces and yet people will still pay more for it.

Apple was smart. They released a smaller X model first. My daughter is already drooling over the bigger one.

I've definitely been surprised how many people on different forums seem to be queing for the XS and the Max... XS base model... 64GB $999 ... Sheesh!

I wouldn't put all iPhone users in one bucket. Using Android is just as easy. It is easier to screw some things up if you delve into areas with little knowledge. I actually find certain things in IOS less intuitive and I use both platforms.

Traditional yes, Android has been a place for the more tech savvy consumer for sure. BUT I think the system has become more user-friendly since Lollipop, IMO.

Still though, a Samsung can be a bit intimidating for the "outta the box" consumer.
