Couldn’t agree more tbh. Especially with the SoC. I understand the upside of a more powerful/efficient processor but this has rarely ever stuttered for me with my use case!

Yeah that was something that I also noticed too with the colour temperature. However, I tend to make my photos cooler. So for me it’s something that I don’t mind, but there have definitely been situations where it’s even too cool for me, so I can understand that’s frustration.

Also, how is the soft touch back? Much less slippery than the old glossy back?

The P6P doesn’t have a macro lens I believe, so that will definitely be a nice quality of life improvement. Also the flat display is going to be something I can’t wait for!

I did hear about the photosphere. I thought that may have been a bug and it was accidentally removed - I suppose not. I love the feature too, especially when travelling.

Good to know about the screen condition and trade in value. My screen has a very small crack near the top and I’m hoping it’s not too much of an inconvenience when it comes time to trade in the phone haha. I’ll have to test my luck using your method I reckon.

The good things you mentioned are great to hear! For some reason, the call quality somewhat lacked on my Pixel 5 and is just alright on my P6P.

Yeah being from AUS, I’m actually not too sure if I am missing some AI features. Which ones are you missing? Nonetheless, fingers crossed they reach all users sooner rather than later!

I am also the same with my phone’s battery struggling when it is using mobile data compared to wifi. I’m hoping for your sake that it is just an optimisation issue and that it gets fixed over time. Especially as Google had mentioned the P8 was meant to be a more efficient product.

Disappointing loss, but as mentioned, it was a rough shooting night which won’t happen very often.

I didn’t get to watch the game but was there any reason why Miller didn’t play tonight?

I’m excited to see how we go this season. I don’t know why but I’ve got a good feeling about it!

This looks so nice imo. I’m thinking of waiting for the pixel 9 or 10, but it’ll be hard after seeing how good this is shaping up to be 🥲.

Hopefully the battery life see’s some major improvements too!

Haha it definitely appeas that way! I would love test it out… I had a pixel tablet 😄. I’m just very interested in the product and waiting to potentially buy it if there are some good sales towards the end of the year. So I kinda thought to see if android 14 has improved people’s initial experiences and whether it provided any quality of life improvements.

That’s great that you’re experiencing better battery life. I’m currently on the beta with my Pixel 6 Pro and I’ve also noticed the phone’s battery has felt much better, especially in terms of Idle battery drain. Good to be us I suppose!

Yeah, I am definitely a fan of this setup. It looks great!

Hopefully they continue to keep adding more faces before launch. I have enjoyed the current options however I wouldn’t mind seeing what other choices google can provide!

Thanks! Yeah I’m honestly very excited for the more compact design but fingers crossed it’s close to colours I imagined 🤞

Lmao! Not horrible I suppose 😂

Personally, I’m hoping the Jade colourway somewhat resembles the Alpine Green iPhone colourway. Kinda like this (it was a quick edit so obviously it would be more refined).

Im assuming the emargo will be lifting very soon. Can’t wait to see the reviews. However, I did find an in-depth review posted by Rozetked (I think a Russian YouTuber). Just need to turn on auto translate captions to understand it though.

Edit: fix

Update: I believe the embargo has now lifted :)

Would have thought he’d get more than 25 games but this is still a big blow for the Grizzlies.

That’s a completely fair deal-breaker. I think I’m going to check it out once it releases and see if it feels smooth for a 60hz screen. Although, hopefully the future iterations bump up that refresh rate to 90hz or 120hz.

I think I know exactly how you’re feeling, It’s pretty similar to my experience tbh. Again, I’m the same, I think I only ever made two posts on Reddit and a handful of comments in the five years I had an account. Whereas I’ve probably already matched that output here in the few days. Perhaps that’s why I’ve been enjoying Lemmy as much as I have?

Honestly, I think I’d be content if enough people stayed here (or joined over time) to help this become recognised by the mainstream as a genuine Reddit alternative.

I’m in the same boat as you, account deleted and all. Personally, I was never really that active on Reddit but I’ve enjoyed Lemmy and the positive community feel. So for me, I won’t be going back since I actually enjoy using this platform. My only fear is that others will jump back to Reddit eventually and these communities may go quiet. I guess we’ll see.

Was that homemade or purchased at a restaurant? Either way that looks unreal!
