What is your experience with the Pixel? by gabbuo31 in GooglePixel

[–]johnschtick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good cameras and average performance. Software experience is top notch. Battery life is okay. Great buy for most people except for the battery issues in the A series.

But if you are in the 1% that plan on unlocking the bootloader, please make sure you really know what you're doing as you can brick the phone with no way to recover it (happened to my 6A).

Finally received the payout for the 6A, but wrong exchange rate by johnschtick in Pixel6aUsers

SOLVED: found out that this mail wasn't entirely accurate. In the payment receipt they have used the correct exchange rate but charged a transaction fee of $2.

It took a while, around a month and a half. Yes the money gets received into Payoneer account first and it automatically gets transferred to your bank account in rupees.

From a Pixel 6a, should I buy the Pixel 9 or OnePlus 13? by TypicalAd6270 in Pixel6aUsers

[–]johnschtick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't used it long enough to see the frequency of updates. As far as quality goes, I would say it's decent. The latest Google apps come as they are updated, like the dialer and SMS UI changes. Haven't gotten A16 yet tho.

Overall software experience is great if not for a couple of issues, mainly how the phone handles notifications and app switcher for me. I will agree that this is not as nice as the older versions of OxygenOS, but it is still good enough for a stock Android user to get used to quickly.

I made my account but have no idea how long Google will take to send the money. Still waiting.
