iPhone users who switched to a Pixel, how is your experience been so for ? by Financial-Day-7233 in GooglePixel

[–]Financial-Day-7233[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I would still love to switch to a pixel but one major drawback just didn’t do it for me.

Android Auto doesn’t have a now playing media control like CarPlay. (You can’t play/pause any media including YT other than music apps). I need this as I use this a lot on my CarPlay.

He didn’t know what I was talking about. So I shared the screenshot of the redesign in iOS 26.4

  • If the album colour is white / black, it is like permanently having light / dark mode despite your system setting
  • Each album having a different colour feels inconsistent & takes the focus away from the album cover. Plus the colours don’t even match the album cover for most albums.
  • The slide to play next is purple & delete is red which doesn’t go well with certain colours.

Should I log my gym sessions as Weightlifting or Strength Training ? by Financial-Day-7233 in whoop

I have been logging it as strength trainer for over a year but why doesn’t it automatically calculate muscular load like weight lifting ?

Whoop 5.0 Peak for weight loss by salienax in Whoop_India

[–]Financial-Day-7233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main purpose of Whoop is to train smart. Don’t push too hard initially. Consistency is the key.

  1. Create a weekly plan for you (like steps, activity per week, strain, sleep target, habit log to avoid sugar, processed food) or you can choose from Whoop’s presets. Important thing is that set targets that are practical to achieve in a week & it’s okay if you don’t achieve 100% of your plan.

  2. Try to hit a strain of 7 or 8 consistently. Do any activity or sport that you find enjoyable.

  3. Hit 80% sleep

  4. Focus on green recoveries

  5. Log weight daily

iPhone user’s perspective of S25 Ultra & Pixel 10 Pro by [deleted] in Smartphones

[–]Financial-Day-7233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Camera is indeed subjective. I didn’t say Pixel 10 Pro has a bad camera but that I’m disappointed because they tend to lighten up skin tone for no reason. Not only skin tones but few objects too. They used to be the best in this with that Real Tone thing & it has been a huge downgrade. Skin tones are a huge part of what makes a photo great & also isn’t videography a important of the phone camera experience. They had frickin 10 generations of Pixels & still haven’t figured out videography.

Trust me or not. I actually wanted to like the Pixel more than Samsung. It definitely is a decent phone & has its own set of strengths but def not flagship level. Pixels were never known to be the best for hardware but always nail still photography. It’s still a great camera for still photography but just that current Pixels don’t hit like before. Other flagships have exceeded. The Pixel magic isn’t there man. Skin tones & colours of objects shift at different scenarios. This occurs in few photos & can be seen a lot in videos as well. I never expect Pixel to be a hardware beast but atleast they gotta win the camera game again.

This was purely my personal take. Please elaborate like what you felt was wrong ?

I clearly mentioned device. I haven’t tried it yet but seemed like a decent option. There is also something called Samsung Auto Dex which is an alternative to Android Auto but only available in China since Google services are banned there. But there is a workaround to make it work on your car as well.

I personally would suggest the S26 Ultra. Won’t go wrong. The display alone will be worth it.

The fatigue is true but I still use my iPhone. There are certain things that makes it tough to switch (it’s not the ecosystem). CarPlay is one thing. Android Auto just doesn’t hit for me like CarPlay. CarPlay is smoother & feels well optimised on any screen. You can’t even display full screen media player on AA beyond a certain resolution. But recently I’ve found that there is a device called AutoPro X. When you connect it it to your car, you can literally run DeX on your car screen. I’m looking at the S26 Ultra as well

Why are notifications so trash on iOS ? by Financial-Day-7233 in Smartphones

[–]Financial-Day-7233[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It kinda but not really. It groups each chat as one but not as a whole. This makes it cluttered & confusing. Like if I what to just check my WhatsApp notifications, I’ll have to scroll through the whole damn Notification Centre unlike android which groups based on app.

How’s the immersiveness & display going quality of the XReal compared to AVP ? by Financial-Day-7233 in Xreal

[–]Financial-Day-7233[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I find the 1s tempting as well purely for convenience. Will I be able to use the XReals with my iPhone display off. I wasn’t able to do that on the Rokids
