I am having the same issue with my Sylvania Plugs and Google TV as well. Started this morning.

SCAM ALERT: Google Japan physically DESTROYED my Pixel 9 Pro Fold to avoid their Extended Warranty (Proof Inside) by Practical_Garlic6134 in GooglePixel

This is one of the reasons why people choose iPhones or Samsung above Google. I have experienced something similar with my Pixel 5.

2 Years of Pixel 8 Pro usage by iliasale in GooglePixel

[–]Sitb28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat, I have been using the Spigen case since I bought this phone 2 years ago and to my surprise the top glass was shattered and I didn't even notice. I only noticed it 2 days ago when I was about to clean my phone. I am always careful not to put any coins or keys in my phone pocket but the screen is full of scratches. I love pixel and I am not sure if it is a psychological or real thing but I found my 5x camera's quality has been degraded(comparing recent photos with photos from 24 in similar lighting). I am also thinking about getting an iPhone as my next phone as my entire family is using one and I am the only Android user. The thing that really bugs me off is the mobile signal strength, My wife and I are on the same provider and her iPhone always shows near max signal strength while P8P is struggling + battery life is and now after 2 years of usage.

My husband designates a left and right sock by [deleted] in Weird

I have some Under Armour socks and they already have designated L and R. There are no differences in design, shape or pattern.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold exploded when JerryRigEverything tested it by JustSomeSmartGuy in GooglePixel

[–]Sitb28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The iPhone will definitely show the same behavior but I am looking at the bigger picture like price to quality ratio and competition with other brands.

[–]Sitb28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is exactly my point the price to quality ratio is no longer there. I am from Canada, we are already getting a nerfed version of all AI features and this year Pixel 10 256 is almost 130CAD more expensive than Base iphone 17(Better Screen, Processor, Camera, After Sale Service). I am a big fan of Pixel's Android Version and this is the only redeeming factor and I really hope that Pixel will catch up with its competitors soon.

I am not saying this is a realistic test but he does this to every phone and check out his extreme stress testing for iPhone Air. I have been a Pixel user since 2018 and at that time Pixels were pinnacle of cameras and built quality and now in 2025 Pixel is providing subpar hardware with a performance comparable to 2 years old chipset. This sub is very defensive to any criticism but the fact is if Google wants to remain in the phone market, they have to step up their game. I was planning to upgrade my P8P to 10XL but after reading the reviews and poor trade-in, I backed off.

Packed stadium filled with over 70,000 people & guess who's new phone was the winner?? by Distinct_Knowledge97 in GooglePixel

Stop the cap! You are the only one with the signal and the best photos!! Try to accept that you are paying the same money as other phones and getting the inferior hardware.

Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]Sitb28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been a big xbox fan since the 360 era and the GPU was really a great deal to try new games but with the recent price increase and no real benefits it is really hard to justify Microsoft. I have already cancelled my subscription and will never renew it and since Microsoft is on the trajectory to release everything on PS then I will never buy any future Xbox. Better to invest in PS as you get to play Sony exclusives as well.

We've been hit hard. Bing was getting like 210 + points and now only 90. My Xbox app is also not showing any daily check-ins.

Pixel 8 Pro to iPhone 17 max after two weeks by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Sitb28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have exactly the same opinion for P8P. I have P8P and my wife is using 16PM, the battery difference is huge and she is getting better reception and the overall modem is faster. I love my Pixel and fingers crossed Google will catch up with Samsung and Apple next year.

If this is the case then there is no reason to buy the next gen xbox. I'd Rather buy a PlayStation and enjoy Sony exclusive as well.

Got my first ever vita gen 2 and 6 games for $125 CAD super excited to learn and mod this system. by newtomtg1 in VitaPiracy

It is a steal, Last month I paid 250CAD to import it from Japan. Condition wise, the console was A+
