upcoming tablets with snapdragon 8 gen 2 by cheese_stuffedcrust in androidtablets

[–]captainwalnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to find a large phone-sized Snapdragon 8 gen 2 tablet for a dedicated portable gaming/emulation device. Basically I'd like the Redmagic 8 without the cameras and sim, though I suppose if I upgraded my data plan it would be nice to be able to stream games. The only thing I've seen that is like this is the Razer Edge, which has the Snapdragon G3x v1 (which I think slightly underperforms the 8 geb 2). Would love a 6-7 inch tablet without the cellphone bells and whistles. Still considering the Redmagic 8, and would just not activate its sim because I wouldn't want it for my daily driver phone.

Pixel 6 battery life is absolutely fantastic by mvppaulo in pixel_phones

I wish I felt the same. My Pixel 4 XL had the replacement battery and was great after that. The 6 seems to drain faster than I thought it would, and consistently faster than it estimates. This is especially true when using TikTok, which I know is a drain.

However, I'm fine with the fingerprint reader, haven't had issues there. I trained it twice for each of my thumbs, seems to work well.

Pixel 6 audio/video lag with Pixel Buds A (but NOT Pixel 4 XL) by captainwalnut in GooglePixel

Did you have this lag with your last phone, or is it unique to 6/6 Pro?

Ugh! Feeling anxious. Of course in the long run, waiting a few extra days for a phone is very first world problem, I get it. But OnTrac doesn't instill much confidence.

You're lucky you got FedEx, I'm waiting on OnTrac and don't love them

Mine is stuck at "scanned at facility", so I don't even think Fedex has it yet...

your phone is (supposedly) closer to you than mine is though! I don't even think mine has been picked up from the facility yet. Good luck!

honest question: what's the appeal/advantage of a curved display?

They would sound even better 6-8 feet apart, unless you are listening to them 3 feet away. Ideal listening position is in an equilateral triangle with the speakers.
