MKBHD Swaps from Pixel 2 XL

[home44]

Until the One+6T comes out. Then em hell be trashing the One+6.

As stated in earlier posts the newer processor and double the ram is going to make a difference. This is an apples to oranges comparison IMHO because of that. That said I am also guilty of wanting to try an OP6 but I just can't give up my camera on my Pixel 2. That was the deal breaker on the OP6 for me, that and the full resolution photos storage. However my phone is not remotely slow anyway so it doesn't matter.

I feel the exact same way

Yep it's a poor video and I'm surprised people are lapping it up.

It is a guys opinion -- how is it "poor" ?

I think people take reviewers a tad literal as if they are writing a bible on this stuff. He is simply sharing his opinion. I can't truly comment on it since I have only used the Pixel 2 XL since release (excluding iPhone X) so therefore hard to truly comment. It very well could be snappier so it makes the Pixel appear to "lag" even if it really isn't. Just like some swear animations on Samsung lag whereas some have no issues. Some even turn all animations off to make it snap.

It will vary from person to person. While I am not a fan of OnePlus as a company I won't blindly hate them/trash them for something like speed of their device when I haven't personally tried it.

It's poor because it's not laggy, or remotely slow. It's fractions of a second slower than the brand new OP6 at opening apps, and of course with double the RAM the latter holds memory in apps and websites for longer.

P.S. I also want to try a OnePlus phone. I love the thoughtful software touches. Buy I don't think I can handle compromises and shady practices from the company.

I definitely still want to try a 1+ for the software touches. I really like em, but what shady practices are you referring too??

But to him it is -- hence him during the whole video claiming his experience. Therefore it isn't poor. He didn't bust out some scientific test and claim to have all these proven theories.. he talked about his experiences.

There is no Shady practices credit card purchases were compromised one time but how many companies does that happened to.

Well said

Ahhh......got it

 

[I Can Be Your Hero]

He's definitely right about apps having to reload a lot.

I'm noticing my phone having to reload apps that were open just a little while ago. Annoying because I lose my spot in the app where I was.

I think they've had a couple of issues with developers finding data collection apps running in the background a couple of times too actually. Thing is I'm sure even Google does this on some level.

People lap up anything MKBHD comes out with and I have no idea why.

 

[pchain]

I think his video was silly. He was talking speed comparing the two next to each other as he was switching screens and swiping.... it all seemed like it was more a matter of what the default animation speed is natively set to.

On the other hand, he may be running short on new things to talk about regarding phones since there's nothing game changing any more, all changes are iterative.

I have consistently followed him all these years and enjoyed his videos so I will afford him this one questionable video. lol!

Or maybe people just like his opinions / views. I don't take him for gospel but him + a few others I like to hear their views. May not always agree but I still don't mind hearing. Believe it or not I can actually take others opinions and weigh it in with my own and not blindly follow them .

 

[maverick7526]

I can kind of agree with him. my pixel 2XL has been experiencing lag/stuttering. I'm not using a ton of apps, I usually keep 9-15 things in my carosel, only using 45% of 64GB, and after about a month my phone freezes to the point I either have to hard reset it, or wait about 20-30 seconds for it to 'catch up'. when I check out the ram usually it says 100% used that's after the freeze. usually before it's at 75% usage for the day. it's been an odd experience with the pixel so far.

Perhaps you work that way, but if you read the comments on his videos, people take what he says as gospel. He's a hack out to make money on YouTube. Nothing more.

 

[pchain]

He's a hack..... Nothing more.

If someone like MKBHD offers a personal opinion on tech makes him nothing more than a hack.. what does that make someone who offers an opinion on MKBHD?

 

[Almeuit]

Definitely don't agree.. also YouTube comments are worthless to me. I could find any video and tell you people worship anyone of any kind of Fame... So your point isn't really a point to me. There will always be someone like that but definitely not me
