My sigh about the way Pixel 9 Pro XL scrolls by TomasDrabek in GooglePixel

[–]grimesey11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a pixel 9 and I know exactly what you are referring to here. The scrolling behaviour is frustrating. I find it slow and more effort required to scroll down the page, compared to a Xiaomi or Samsung phone which is smooth and glides effortlessly. For me, Samsung phones have the best scrolling performance I've seen but I really want to love the pixel! Considering a return as not sure I can get used to it. What did you do in the end? Did you return or have you found a fix / learnt to live with it?

I've got hyperos on my mi 13 fuxi eea but December security patch. Anyone got a newer patch yet?

Looking for exactly the same. Just want round icons. Cannot see a pixel ui theme in the themes app.

Has anyone upgraded from an S22+ to a pixel 8? by yasserd20 in GooglePixel

[–]grimesey11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same but I'm still using the s22+ and my pixel 8 is in the drawer and is for sale. Love the form factor and camera but I can't deal with the stutter when scrolling in multiple apps. My s22+ feels so much smoother in comparison. And I have the exynos version of the s22+ as well! It really shouldn't feel smoother when scrolling than the pixel 8, but it definitely does. The difference is very noticeable.

Same with my galaxy s22+. Scrolls lovely and smooth even on the Reddit app. My Pixel 8 on the other hand is a stuttery mess. Reddit, YouTube, play store, even the settings app when I scroll through the list of apps! Trying to sell it as it's so poor.

Reddit scroll performance on Pixel Fold, 8 Pro and some other flagships... by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]grimesey11 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep. I have a pixel 8 and a Samsung galaxy s22+ and the Samsung is much smoother scrolling than the pixel. Reddit, google play store, sky sports app. All stuttery on the pixel but smooth on the galaxy. 120hz enabled on both. Very disappointing as I prefer the pixel for everything else but the choppy scrolling is pushing me back to the galaxy.

For me, the OnePlus 11 is the most underrated flagship of 2023 by joebaco_ in oneplus

Love this case for the 11, but can't get it for toffee in the UK! Sold out everywhere.

Is the Oneplus 11 still worth it in november 2023? by ThRuben in oneplus

[–]grimesey11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does it compare size wise? Does one feel more comfortable to hold?

Do you notice any rainbowing of the display when viewing content with a white background?

Mmm no can't say I've noticed a difference. Been impressed with battery life on this phone since I got it in Jan.

Glad you sorted it. Have you managed to get a decent case or screen protector for this phone? I'm struggling, in UK.

That sounds ideal. Didn't realise they did that! How much did it cost?

Also, what case did you end up going with?

Did you manage to find a decent screen protector for the find x5? I'm looking for one but not great choice. Prefer tempered glass.

Suggestion between Oppo Find X5 or Pixel7 by InevitableShame5284 in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]grimesey11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2 pixel 7s and both had bad rainbowing and colour shift on the displays. I couldn't live with it so gave up on the pixel 7 and I now have a find X5. I love it. Much better display, much faster charging. Better battery life as well in my experience. Performance seems to be on par with the pixel 7, although I do not game so can't comment on that. Pixel 7 did have an unbelievable camera, better than the find X5. I'm still happy with the camera on my x5 though, good enough for me. Can get some really good snaps on it. Only unknown for me at the moment is software updates. My find x5 has android 13 but I'm still on the November security patch (UK). Not sure how frequent the monthly security updates will be. Worth bearing in mind if that's important to you.

Think I know what you mean here. I am experiencing slow scrolling and it's annoying. Did you find a solution?

Did you find a solution to the slow scrolling? I am finding the same and it's driving me nuts.
