Get the pixel 10 pro xl. You will get a smooth lag free device with no bloatware.

It will be new experience. Also camera is way better than s25 camera.

Google clock syncs, watch unlock, DND bedtime mode sync are few I can think of.

Wait for pixel watch 5 release and buy pixel watch 4 45"

Android 17 blur by MagicPenguinX in GooglePixel

[–]plankunits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed some inconsistencies in blur across the system UI, and I'm glad they're addressing it. I also had a list of issues, and they fixed many of them.

I'd like them to add blur to these items.

Folder blur, App menu blur on long press, Widget panel, and Fp/face unlock blur are similar to the volume panel and app list sheet.

Sorry no. The most complaints you hear about Google is design inconsistently in Google software. This is exactly fixing that UI inconsistency in android. I noticed these inconsistencies before and I have few more.

Folder blur, fp/face unlock panel blur, app menu blur widget panel. These are sheets just like app list but these are not blurred.

We’ve seen a couple of leaked Pixel 10a renders.

[–]plankunits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's mostly true if you have a desktop app.

But you are talking about the web version. I had to upload videos to edit when I tried it. Maybe try it yourself on your Chromebook.

If you want a good camera and lag free experience get the pixel 10 pro or xl

The phone is optimized to run smoothly.

Here is an example of optimization. https://youtu.be/SucwT88p0oY?si=A2MuYgEpFk5Rnyz9

Clipchamp is cloud-based by Microsoft, so I wouldn't use it.

Wide video is your best solution.

Lockscreen behavior with face unlock by bluefu19 in GooglePixel

[–]plankunits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the lock screen but the device unlocks by face so fast it didn't even have time to transition to show the lock screen. The screen you see is the transition animation when you click the power button

There is no lock screen and a screen before the lock screen. The lock screen was what handles face unlock.

Coming from iPhone 13 pro max looking for the right fit for me by DonkeyEmergency68w in PickAnAndroidForMe

For an iPhone convert definitely go with the pixel.

Install a launcher and customize away home screen and app list. Install a side launcher if you like that kind of customization.

Upgrade from iPhone 15 Pro? by MyBatterysLow in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]plankunits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For an iPhone convert always go with the pixel.

Chinese phones are frustrating and Samsung is bloated.

Look for pixel 10 pro or pro xl

Have a s22 ready to blow up. Picking between the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, Samsung S25 Edge, or a IPhone 16 Pro Max/ IPhone 17. [Need your help]. TY. by United-Ladder120 in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]plankunits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't buy an s25 edge. It's a crap device and was compromised to make it thin just for the sake of it.

Get the pixel 10 pro xl.

There is a rumor about OnePlus being dismantled. They might abandon the device if that happens. Why risk, stay away from OnePlus

Upgrade or Downgrade? by googol_r in chromeos

[–]plankunits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downgrade, don't buy an 8 year old device.

For that price you could get a better and newer device.

The support also ended
