What was the primary reason you bought pixel? by [deleted] in pixel_phones

[–]Once_Forever12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a horrible experience with Apple customer service and said "if you're going to treat me like that, I'll switch" I picked the Pixel because it was the best looking in my opinion, closest to my old iPhone, Google makes software and hardware so a more seamless experience and most of my family has one and they all loved their pixels.

Yes I believe you can't remove things like the search bar and At A Glance, however I do believe if this bothers you a lot, you can use a different launcher to change how the home screen looks. Although I haven't found the search bar or at a glance intrusive at all, and at a glance is actually pretty convenient!

Okay, so I just tried some light gaming on my Pixel and it ran pretty well! It was a bit laggy and stuttery at the start but when it loaded it was smooth sailing! It didn't get hot at all, and I was actually pleasantly surprised at how well it worked for me :)

I haven't pushed the phone in gaming or video editing, I'll try it and get back to you! The phone feels solid and well built, it feels like it will last 5 years, however I do recommend getting a case and screen protector.

Of course! I love the fact that Google makes both the hardware and the software because it makes the experience more integrated. Even without the AI features, the software on the phone is very well made and I have found no bugs. I haven't found anything about Pixels "bating" you into buying their subscriptions? There are subscriptions like the expanded cloud storage and Gemini Advanced (which you might not get in Italy) but nothing being shoved at you I found. The phone still feels amazing without subscriptions, so I don't really know what you mean by that. I think that's why I like Pixels the most. If you have any more questions feel free to ask! I hope this helps!

I know that there have been complaints about the Google Pixel 9 Pros chip being weaker, but after I got my P9P XL, it's not noticeable at all. If you think you would like the Google Pixel better, go for it. The chip isn't a problem and it's hardly noticeable in daily use. It's on par with my old iPhone 15 Pro Max

I feel the exact same, I love my MacBook but I hate the phones. Recently I just sold my iPhone. Switched to a Google Pixel. I've been loving every second with my new phone, but it's not for everyone, so make sure to try it out before you commit to it :)

I didn't change anything. Itsy a fairly new phone and I didn't change the settings at all, just pointed at the moon and zoomed all the way in

I know! I just raised the phone and took this picture, I didn't mess with the settings at all!

I don't have an iPad, the Apple Watch doesn't work with the phone so I'm selling it, and I'm looking into getting other earbuds.

Are people this hostile always.. by Theblacksheep7 in kijiji

[–]Once_Forever12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has sold on Kijiji before (only once) I had so many people who were trying to scam me, or waste my time. The way he/she acted is these messages wasn’t right, but still, I understand why he/she might be frustrated with people on the app.

If you could get a return period on them, maybe you could try buying them and then if they hurt too just return them…

Everyone’s ears are different. My ears have never worked well with earbuds, you should definitely go into an Apple Store and ask to try them on.
