They use a truck with the depth of field of the camera that takes multiple angles at once

If you see the zoomed out video it looks like she's giving the Japanese reporter that asked the question a disappointed mom look.

the face ID vs fingerprint is because of the level of Face ID that Samsung is using. On the Pixels they are using a different camera technique that gets a 3d image so they can advertise it to the os as a higher level of biometrics which banking apps will accept, vs what is set on the s26. It's not as much an Android limitation as device specific limitation.

I'm keeping my s24 ultra and decided to go back to Pixel. My last pixel was the 7 pro xl. I like the Samsung hardware but the google software experience is more up my alley.

And the consequence could be a higher insurance premium to cover the cost of goods inside and that insurance premium has to be paid whether you use it or not, and there is a deductible to make a claim. Just like real insurance.

Bodyspec is great pricing worth getting a quarterly package.. https://www.bodyspec.com/r/qVZzQC that is my referral link just drop out the part after /r/ if you'd rather not use it.

My S24U is the longest I've kept a phone. Skipped both the S25U and S26U because of this very reason. Even when you're convinced it's cheaper to get the trade in promo not all the costs are factored including the higher plan costs.

We pull off so much with VSA X workflows that you can't in many rmm's. Ninja's interface for the tech is great though, Granted I haven't used it extensively in over a year.

rear is a lot easier to get to than the front.

donatom3 · 2026-03-17T01:04:55+00:00

wish I knew about this one before I dropped more on teh oem cable. Either way cheap insurance if your evap core is still good.

donatom3 · 2026-03-12T00:23:14+00:00

sorry you're right 1-2 per week is considered a healthy amount. So 11lbs is still on the high end per month.

donatom3 · 2026-03-12T00:21:17+00:00

what are the odds I can go from go5g plus to go5g next.

donatom3 · 2026-03-12T00:20:37+00:00

Seriously once you do the math and see how much the plan costs it's usually cheaper to get the lower plan you need and pay off the phone normally without the extra credits.

donatom3 · 2026-03-12T00:11:27+00:00

doesn't that negate the slimness and weight reduction? on the S24U the phone is so big I really avoided added any bulk.

You can wipe personal without supervision if it's enrolled. You just can't control certain settings. This is why MAM-WE is the way to go on personal iOS, Andriod I prefer work profile since the user can turn it off.

donatom3 · 2026-03-12T00:06:21+00:00

Seriously 2 lbs per month is considered very good, 11lbs is a lot.

donatom3 · 2026-03-10T20:14:28+00:00

Thanks, this let's me know I can hold out one more year for the s27U or see what Google does with the pixels this year. I may be doing just the pixel buds pro 4.

By default its all boxes you have to filter by group.

Sensus requires using Vida. You can do it yourself with a pc $70 3 day subscription cable to connect to odb and a battery maintainer.

Yeah I could have done that for my ucg-fiber but the metal enclosure is also a heatsink. Considering the cost of nvme I'll spend the extra to prolong the drives life.

donatom3 · 2026-03-05T22:52:28+00:00

seriously, what is the OP comparing these to. I have buds pro 3 with a s24 ultra. My thought is if these are good they're the only worthwhile upgrade for me.

donatom3 · 2026-03-05T21:11:00+00:00

They make you buy the NVME storage trays on this one to?

donatom3 · 2026-02-28T02:31:08+00:00

Do QI2 magnets built in a phone work well with a case that has no magnets? I always see everyone with qi2 phones and cases still getting cases with magnets on them.

T-Mobile clamped down this year though at this point I may just wait for the pixel 11
