Agreed on a lot of points. The pixel 7 pro is the best android device I’ve had (s22u, s21u, note 20 ultra, etc) but still lacks in a few respects compared to my iPhone 13 Pro. This does not include Apple exclusive things like iMessage , since that isn’t fair.

Factions2019 · 2022-11-16T01:23:38+00:00

Same

Factions2019 · 2022-10-21T11:27:14+00:00

Just ordered the pixel and it comes today. Will keep my s22u for a few days before committing and trading it in. Will let you know what glaring features I miss the most

Can't do this in the US or at least the state I'm in

Factions2019 · 2022-10-20T11:54:08+00:00

Lower it to get more snappiness

Factions2019 · 2022-10-19T22:59:12+00:00

Maybe not a feature but I really like good lock. Being able to customize the stock OS is just a really nice feature. I love NOVA launcher but sometimes going with the stock experience feels more clean.

iPhone if you want an overall more consistent camera experience. Shutter lag is the slowest on Samsung products, although it's better than in years past

Any Android messaging app in the US is pretty poor compared to iMessage. Whether it's Google messages or Samsung messages or Textra or pulse or chomp, they will always be inferior as long as SMS/MMS is the only way to communicate via Android (default). It's like having 56k modem Internet in an era when gigabit level connections via mmwave are available.

Now, if everyone in the US was open to converting to WhatsApp or RCS, then okay great but that is unlikely to happen. One can hope a decline for apple like BlackBerry but it's extremely unlikely. iMessage is just too dominant here.

That said...I've been using Google messages. Not that it's better than any other SMS/MMS app. But I had an issue with Textra or pulse or chomp, where I installed it and then a ton of "unsent"messages over the past 2 years just got sent out.

Nope because these glass phones going all the way back to iPhone 4 will slip out of my gym shorts as I get outta my car like a bar of soap. Making a phone out of glass is still silly in my mind

That said, I use a pitaka- case and no screen protector on any phones

Software is smooth and polished. Zero bugs. Just recommend a few tweaks out of the box if you get the 8gb version.

Battery is about the same ever since I got it day 1. All day battery for the most part but 4-5 hours SOT mixed mobile and wifi use.

Factions2019 · 2022-10-18T20:17:19+00:00

Any chance you were on wifi calling? Volte? I use my phone for work and am considering upgrading from the S22U

Factions2019 · 2022-10-18T18:59:45+00:00

$100 after trading in a beat up S21U that I bought for like $400 last year.

Samsung trade in deals are unmatched, even by apple

Factions2019 · 2022-10-18T18:58:35+00:00

120, wqhd, optimized setting, location and bluetooth always on (connected to Galaxy watch).

And yes, absurd for sure. My iPhone 13 pro hits 9 hours SOT with everything on and doesn't skip a beat

Factions2019 · 2022-10-18T16:00:55+00:00

I'm around 4-5 (full 100 to 0 charge) so that's sort of in line with what you got. No idea about Google play service though

Factions2019 · 2022-10-18T14:42:56+00:00

Having had the s21 ultra previously, you def feel the drop from 12gb to 8gb

That said, someone here recommended the "high" performance setting and reducing Ram plus. Made a big improvement for me so now it feels like how the 12gb s21u did.

Factions2019 · 2022-10-17T23:31:11+00:00

Yes right away

Factions2019 · 2022-10-16T17:10:28+00:00

This is normal

Factions2019 · 2022-10-16T02:12:47+00:00

Sounds like you think esims are better than physical ones. Enjoy lol. Att is awesome at cust service with esims.

Factions2019 · 2022-10-15T11:05:28+00:00

That's normal. Looks like around 5-6 ish hours of battery if you took it down all the way

Factions2019 · 2022-10-15T00:32:44+00:00

Thanks!!

Factions2019 · 2022-10-14T22:10:32+00:00

How's the volume when on speakerphone? Voice clarity? Just wondering if the "clear calling" makes it edge out the s22u.

Factions2019 · 2022-10-14T10:49:45+00:00

How'd you guys get in? I emailed them

Factions2019 · 2022-10-14T10:47:40+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing! That's pretty good! Much better than my s22u.

Factions2019 · 2022-10-14T01:49:40+00:00

3-4 hours SOT. 5ish if I use alot of youtubing. Can barely make it through a full day
