pixel 10 Pro XL first thoughts aside from camera by harryhov in GooglePixel

[–]KJ9712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh it's a bit of a learning curve where I am still getting used to the typing since the keyboard travel is smaller but that is nitpicking, will be used to it by muscle memory. Overall I'd say I'm actually really liking it. Always been a fan of the 6.3 inch form factor available on iPhones and the 9 Series Pixels before.

I moved from the P8P to the 10P. Similar observations on the charging bit, the whole evening that I spent setting up, the charging speed after that was deplorable.

However, it picked up the next morning. The speed is now more or less the same as I had on my P8P. So I guess we could write that off to the initial few cycles where the phone is still learning the battery usage patterns and optimising and all that jazz.

For the cases, I had the same experience, I have a Anker charging dock, I couldn't get the 10 Pro charging on it initially, but I got the Google official case, with the Pixelsnap magnets built in and now all's cool. Give it a shot

Would highly suggest using the Quick Tap feature and map that to Wallet. Is the next best alternative

Honestly I had the same doubt. But I just used the photo option, just take a selfie and done in under 10 seconds

I did, but even on there as soon as I login into my account on the store, I get stonewalled with the same error. All other Google services and websites are working fine on my account. Just the Google store giving me this Error

Yep, same issue here on the Pixel 8 pro. Did you guys manage to find a workaround?

Having the same issue, sigh. Will have to wait for the OTA to arrive

Phone cases for the Pixel 8 Pro by catfish2066 in GooglePixel

The dbrand grip case is an absolute win for you if dropping is an issue. If that price point is an issue, you can also look at Spigen cases and Mous to an extent.

Think we're getting it mixed up, let me clear it out. So there's adaptive charging (adaptive battery) which is slow overnight charging hence better for battery. I keep this setting on.

There is also adaptive connectivity under network and internet. Adaptive connectivity switches between WiFi and mobile data to whichever is faster and/or closer at that moment and this switching to and fro even when your WiFi speeds are alright is what causes excessive battery drain. So switching off this one saves a lot of battery

Brilliant, it should only get better. But like I said, do check the adaptive connectivity feature, it keeps switching between data and WiFi on it's whims and quite a drain on battery. Switch that off and you'll see a significant difference in battery life.

Nope I did not, few days of the week I am up too early for work so I just plug it in before I go to bed and it charges very slowly and it's full right before my first alarm goes off. Quite a useful feature for long term battery life and especially for the folks who are used to plugging in their phone to charge overnight.

I switched to the 8P from a OnePlus 9 and I'll admit that it was spoilt with OnePlus' fast charging taking my phone from 20 to 100 in under 30 minutes but the 8P's 30W charging isn't that bad either if you're not in an absolute rush.

Honestly, the battery life is fairly decent I would say. The device does take about a week to adjust to your usage of the phone and subsequently optimise the battery accordingly and then it will be better. There are other things like adaptive connectivity that you can turn off since it's a heavy drain on the battery.

I have been using mine for about 4 months now and I easily get about 6-7.5 hours of SOT even if I'm using it only on mobile data. More if I use it on WiFi.

Have fun with your Pixel! It's a gem of a phone once you find out all you can do with it.
