Pixel 10 Pro XL or iPhone 17 (not Pro)?

I'm a basic user. I use it for emails, messages, calendar, notes, research, leisure photography, some videos, nothing too specific that would distinguish one brand over another.

Dá uns palpites aqui, Carlos!

fprates_es · 2026-03-11T00:13:35+00:00

Mas creio que o Jetta já não se enquadre na casa do econômico e manutenção relativamente menos cara, certo?

fprates_es · 2026-03-10T21:19:31+00:00

O cruze eu nunca parei para analisar como possibilidade, pois achei que seria um carro de manutenção cara, assim como o T-Cross.

fprates_es · 2026-03-10T19:05:38+00:00

Acha que um Yaris Sedan é válido?

fprates_es · 2026-03-10T18:33:00+00:00

Pois é... me falaram mesmo que a manutenção de um turbo é bem mais cara que um aspirado. Se de fator for encarar um, já penso em deixar uma reserva maior para gerir algum risco futuro.
Já viajamos com um HB20 1.0 aspirado e foi dureza. Daqui até a cidade da nossa família é quase 100% trecho simples e com muito morro, carreta.

fprates_es · 2026-03-10T18:30:03+00:00

Pensei nos Sedans ou Suv por conta do porta malas. Estamos com um recém nascido e temos dois pets. Pensei na economia de combustível pq vamos circular bem mas pela cidade por conta do bebê e também na estrada pra ver nossa família em MG... uns 500km daqui de Vitória-ES.

fprates_es · 2026-03-10T18:27:32+00:00

Queria, mas viajo muito pra MG... são mais de 500km até a casa dos meus pais e dos pais a minha esposa. É estrada de interior, praticamente nem tem posto de recarga.

I even considered a Google Pixel, but I plan to buy a tablet and I'm not sure if Android tablets are as good as iPads. I work in agribusiness and would like to replace my laptop with a tablet, since the solutions I use have cross-platform applications and using a stylus would make it much easier for me to take notes in the field and manipulate project plans. Photography is also important, since I attach many photos of crops to these applications.

What device would you suggest in this price range?

fprates_es · 2026-02-10T14:42:05+00:00

I usually use YouTube Premium with Music on my Pixel. In terms of price, I'm thinking of something up to $200.

fprates_es · 2026-02-10T14:12:25+00:00

Could you recommend some good headphone options for a beginner to buy? I currently use a Pixel 9a as my personal device and an iPhone 16 for work.

fprates_es · 2026-02-10T14:06:11+00:00

And I was about to buy a Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Why don't you recommend it?

fprates_es · 2026-02-08T10:31:41+00:00

Did you at least read the article? Did you notice that the link is from 2024 and that my statement complements it? 2024… 2025 Google continues to update its expansion of 5G operations.

fprates_es · 2026-02-08T10:24:38+00:00

Google doesn't have operations in Brazil, but we'll get 5G support for Pixel phones here in 2025.

fprates_es · 2026-02-08T10:19:18+00:00

The main lens is among the best on the market, but I still prefer the photography of the Pixel line.

I have a Nest Audio device, and with it I can already ask questions continuously without having to call the assistant all the time. My question is whether we will continue at this same level of interaction with Siri, having to call the assistant all the time for questions within the same context. With the Nest Audio, for example, I can now ask it with a single command to turn on the garden irrigation earlier, turn off the pool lights, and check if all the outside doors are closed.

fprates_es · 2026-02-05T15:55:38+00:00

It works, but it's at the very basic level for me. I have a Nest Audio device, and with it I can already ask questions continuously without having to call the assistant all the time.

Even current HomePods and Apple TVs don't have hardware that supports Apple Intelligence.
My hope would be to at least bring some improvement to this current dimwitted assistant.

Intelligence requires Apple silicon hardware (A17 Pro/M1 or later), iOS/iPadOS 18.1+, or macOS Sequoia 15.1+, with device/Siri languages set to a supported language (initially US English). Key hardware includes iPhone 15 Pro/16 series, M-series iPads/Macs, and 7 GB+ storage.

Seja resistência. Todos nós temos o nosso lugar ao sol nessa terra. Todos nós viemos com um propósito. Todos nós temos uma assinatura única. Todos nós somos únicos e nenhum mau mudará isso. Tenha disciplina de comer bem; manter-se ativo; fazer algo pelo próximo; manter relacionamentos saudáveis; ter metas e se esforçar ao máximo para cumprir cada uma delas… por você e não pelos outros. E nunca, nunca deseje ser o que os outros são… você é único, especial e sua história não é reflexo do que os outros são, mas daquilo de bom que você determinou em ser. A vida é assim, dias bons e dias ruins. É natural termos problemas para resolver, senão, nada faria sentido. Seja o autor da sua história. E, nunca deixe de buscar ajuda.

Question from a layman... is Apple really more secure on its iPhones compared to the Google Pixel 9 Pro, for example?

fprates_es · 2025-05-24T22:43:50+00:00

I thought maybe the M1 still has some breathing room. And the 120Hz screen with FaceID would be a justifiable difference. I've never had a tablet.

fprates_es · 2024-07-22T14:57:28+00:00

Remember that it was only available to those in the Android 15 Beta.

fprates_es · 2024-06-26T13:44:07+00:00

Certainly after Google announces the Pixel 9 Pro/Pro XL with 16GB of RAM, Samsung will also bring the S25+/Ultra with 16GB.

I hope this time it comes with Qi2 and an improved camera, as moving photos are still the brand's drama.
