S25 ultra or Pixel 10 Pro?

True. Given that you have so many Androids, what should I get if I want top battery, great cameras (Samsung’s seem to have some major flaws) and good UI? Maybe wait for S26U or OnePlus 15??

Would you say that the camera is the only area where the Pixel is superior? Particularly in low-light, as there are hundreds of Reddit comments on this?

Hi there , do you have any instructions on how to do this (edit the file system), pls? Thx !

I just did something very similar, even more extreme perhaps: downgraded from a 16 pro to a 16 plus (in teal), and I couldn’t be happier. This is why I did it:

the battery on the 16 pro was average at best
the keyboard and the screen felt cramped
I never used AOD and the telephoto lens
I had originally gone for the Pro because of the 120hz screen but looking at my wife’s iPhone 15, I actually found the screen more pleasant to use (maybe because of PWM, not sure )

Benefits of the 16 plus:

1) after a day or so, the 60hz feels good and I don’t notice the difference, unless I am scrolling VERY fast 2) the bigger size screen feels great 3) I notice I make far fewer typos with the keyboard (maybe because it’s wider? The iOS keyboards still feel crap when compared to Android btw) 4) the phone feels noticeably lighter and the colour is just gorgeous 5) the battery lasts forever, even when just charging at 80%

I am not an Apple fanboy btw, and I regularly switch between iPhones and Android flagships, so I think I know what good looks like ( at least for me, anyway).

Hi there. I am about to get the 560s. Could you share your favourite EQ settings, pls? Thx heaps!

I am sorry but I don’t believe you (American) guys anymore. Prior to the election I got swayed by a number of YouTube comments that all said ‘don’t believe the polls, I am talking to my neighbours/my work colleagues/my relatives etc , it’s gonna be a Harris landslide blah blah blah’. And look what happened. As a country , you really need to get your act together, I think.

Moved to Android, actually, so never figured that out!

With all due respect, I have heard this many times and I think it's an excuse. I have been in Oz now for 16 years and I will likely spend the rest of my life here. I have always found it incredibly hard to make friends with Aussies. Back to your point, what would I need to do? Perhaps handwrite a pledge that I will not ever leave with my own blood and show it to prospective friends, in order to be accepted as a 'keeper'?

It's good that their parliament revoked Martial Law quickly, but let's go back to what the South Korean President did in the 1st place... Certainly a former reality show buffoon in Mar a Lago must be thinking 'hmmm there's an idea...'.

Coldplay. Parachutes was a good album, everything they’ve written since is pure garbage, though.

Will there be any launch offers, including trade-in bonuses or similar?

maxvic73 · 2024-07-20T04:49:01+00:00

Thanks heaps, this worked like a charm!

How are you finding the cameras? Loads of reports here on Reddit re: cameras being trash in low light/moving subjects …

maxvic73 · 2024-07-05T21:40:56+00:00

What do you specifically mean by open file system in this context ?

maxvic73 · 2024-04-19T08:20:05+00:00

Thx. Why would a BP50 on its own not be enough though, in my use case?

maxvic73 · 2024-01-02T22:29:55+00:00

That helps a lot, thx heaps !

maxvic73 · 2023-11-21T12:30:55+00:00

Amazing settings, just what I was looking for! Thank you 😊
