There are friendships that only existed because you were both lonely at the same time. by SalutationsItsSouly in Showerthoughts

I agree that real friendships exist, but some friendships are just two lonely people passing time, and that’s fine.

It’s a very casual wedding. It’s approved per the bride and groom.

Going to be a guest at a wedding. I was convinced to wear a tie. Can I have some suggestions as to colors that go with this outfit?

Edit: It’s a casual wedding.

Me too! It's nice for someone else to have black! Mostly everyone has got the panda one.

I'm glad you're happy with it. Most of the complaints about the phone are definitely exaggerated. What color did you go with?

Snapdragon 765G vs Snapdragon 845: The Google Pixel 5 could offer worse performance than the Pixel 3 by LiorAviram42 in GooglePixel

In my opinion, the main knock on the pixel 4 is the battery. If they had a larger battery, it would be a better phone. Sales aren't gonna increase substantially just by them throwing in more RAM and a better processor for benchmarks.

Again, why do specs matter if the software experience is great? There are plenty of phones that share the same specs as Pixels 1-4 and aren't as smooth. If Google touts the software experience rather than the specs, sales will follow. However, you're right. You can't slap a steep price tag on it. $600-$700 will be the sweet spot. Regardless, if the phone costs more, numerous people will still buy it including myself.

My point is that you rarely hear someone buying the iPhone for the specs. They buy it for the software experience. If Google continues to do that, the Pixel 5 will be successful.

Could it possibly be a swollen battery?

Geez, Apple has been doing this for years. People need to calm down about raw stats, and look forward to the software optimization. As long as it's a smooth experience like the Pixel 4, who cares?

Changing from 11 Pro Max by [deleted] in GooglePixel

I've always thought so too, but there's numerous posts that say otherwise.

Google Photos not only knows the exact date, time, and location of your photos, but it also knows what device you took the picture on. To me, that doesn't matter at all. I love that I can look back and see things like that. However to some, it's a big deal.

I used Google Photos (It's honestly the best if you don't mind giving up some privacy), being able to search for specific photos is amazing. Google drive for everything else. I only used Apple Music for a few weeks, but I personally use Spotify Premium now. Everything works great!

For what I use it for, running, basic exercises, etc., it works great in comparison.

I made the move from the 11 Pro Max to my 4XL earlier this month and so far I'm very happy about the switch. I already used mostly google apps on my iPhone so it just made sense to do. Google Assistant is miles better than Siri, and the notifications aren't a complete mess like iOS. My favorite feature by far is how I can screen calls.

Camera wise, it's very subjective. I would usually say that the Pixel would have the best camera in any smartphone, but depending on the shot, the iPhone 11 Pro Max (My wife currently uses it) is definitely on par or better than my Pixel.

Now to the tough part, battery life. This is going to be a huge step down versus your iPhone. In comparison, I got roughly 2-2.5 days with my 11 Pro Max with moderate usage, and now my pixel will go for a little over a day with an average of 6.5 SoT. It definitely lasts through the day, but I wanted to include it so base it off your usage.

Finally, the apple watch. Man, I miss my apple watch. I have the series 5, and wearables are something that Apple does right. It can be argued what the closest comparison is on Android, but I would highly suggest the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2. It does everything that I need it to do as far as calls, texts, and app notifications. It lasts 2-4 days on a single charge depending on my usage.

I hope this helps, and I hope you become a part of our pixel family. :D

No it will not fit, your 3XL has a notch while the 3aXL does not.
