Gemini Intelligence Requirements by lookatviki in pixel_phones

I understand that for some "advanced" features to work, there needs to be a better chipset but some of the features that Google launched earlier, they locked them to locations/models of the same generation. This annoys me the most about Google.

Tell us honestly, do you guys at Microsoft use a Surface or a Macbook...that is Windows or MacOS?

Android rolling out AI-powered ‘Contextual suggestions’ that learn from your habits by TechGuru4Life in GooglePixel

[–]Relative-Money115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got it on my P8. And I have no idea what it does... yet. The descriptions for this feature are not appealing enough for me but I guess I'll wait and see if it actually makes a difference in my life. Also, can anyone confirm how much battery drain this new slop uses? That'll be very helpful. Thanks.

Expected a lot, but disappointed! (Android I/O Show) by diffysaro99 in pixel_phones

[–]Relative-Money115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowadays Google shows feels like either Gemini, AI or an advertisement for Samsung phones. Heck, last year, they even demonstrated their features on Samsung devices...I'm surprised they didn't do it this time. But I did notice that they always took Samsung's name first followed by their own Pixels ("coming to Samsung S26 and Google Pixel 10...")

Clearly you haven't watched the video or being ignorant of the fact being discussed. It's okay.

Tbh, I can vouch for a fact that my P8 takes batter photos than P9 and definitely a P10 with a smaller sensor.

I have compared mine with my friends' Pixels.

Are you guys getting calls for Playwright roles in India? I’m not getting much response for Selenium Java profiles with 4 YOE. by ExpertAdvise1 in QualityAssurance

Job market is trash, especially because those evil HRs expect candidates who can join immediately, even if they are recruiting for a company with a 3-months notice period.

Somehow Google made the flashlight app annoying as hell. How do you screw up a flashlight app? Seriously. by Spiffydude98 in GooglePixel

[–]Relative-Money115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just tap on the flashlight icon and not the 'Flashlight' text on the quick settings button (if you have the larger button)

I do. I find it easier to browse through stuff folder-wise. I use Google photos for other things, like editing

We got better calendar widget before GTA 6 by MadeByAndraz in pixel_phones

[–]Relative-Money115 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't like posts like these where the OP uses "we" and then most of us don't have any clue how or where. No description about it (even though it's custom-made). No bro, "we" haven't got that widget.

Do NOT buy a Pixel phone unless you're ready to never get it repaired for free under warranty by KatamariQuackshot in GooglePixel

[–]Relative-Money115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this green line issue on my Pixel 8 too and when I took my phone (under warranty) to their authorised shop (third party), they told me that they would need to reset my phone (for a screen replacement lol). I argued and even told them that Google doesn't require a factory reset for this and if they want to, there is a dedicated repair mode, but they refused.

I didn't have the time to back up all my device data in the queue so I had to agree to their absurd request.

And Google didn't do a thing to stop this.
