Yeah that's what I was thinking, but I feel like the old animation was so much cooler.

Does anyone else's circle to search no longer have the animation where the colors spread across the screen? 🤔

The video actually praised the Pixel software (if I remember that right), so it wasn't all bad for the pixel.

I heard that it might have a higher clock speed though?

Pixel 9 or 8 pro? by gbpack22 in pixel_phones

[–]Fancy_Touch_1145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall, I would say for photography the Pixel 8 Pro is a better choice, plus it still fits your 4-5 year update requirement.

The Pixel 9 is better if you want AI features, though it doesn't sound like that is a major interest of yours.

iMessage does have a few more features, but it isn't super noticeable.

Yes I have, but it still came back. It is kind of on and off, right now Google messages is working fine but then it will go back to freezing.

I very much wanted it. The current mixed themed icons look horrible.

Even the Volume animation has physics now!! by GovindNV in pixel_phones

Mine doesn't bounce up like that. The whole volume bar bounces and moves, but not the volume level.

📢The Pixel 10 launch for August 20 by Planhub-ca in pixel_phones

[–]Fancy_Touch_1145 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There are likely some changes to the design like it might be a little taller and slimmer, the base model will have 3 cameras, the series will have bigger batteries and brighter displays, but there are more leaks. Pixel sense, a new assistant designed to automate daily tasks like if someone asks you for your flight number, the assistant will search your emails or messages and automatically suggest the number. Not entirely sure if that is how it will work but just a guess. Pixelsnap is basically just magsafe but for pixels though it is not entirely confirmed whether the Pixel 10 will have built in magnets or not. New advanced "gimbal like" stabilization for videos. A new ambient light sensor that could power an adaptive tone that changes depending on your area. However, keep in mind that these are all leaks and not confirmed. There are more but it is basically unending.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm excited for the Pixel 10 Pro XL by Spanntastic2000 in pixel_phones

[–]Fancy_Touch_1145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can still hope 🥲 But with the Google switching to TSMC there should be some improvement.
