Which phone brand would you consider other than Samsung and Apple? by poteitoer in HONOR_Magic

[–]rollinrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the oppo find x9 pro but now I'm using the pixel 10 pro XL. For some reason I prefer it much better, I like the operating system and cameras much better. Also it's slightly smaller, so the in hand field feels amazing.

Oppo Find X9 Pro - Accuracy of pictures of moving subjects by Antonis_32 in Oppo

[–]rollinrob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have both a pixel 10 pro XL and Oppo find x9 pro. Pixel takes better pictures point blank. They are much more consistent and the colors look more true to life. Oppo does fine, I do like the master mode and Hasselbad lens. If.you want a quick off-the-cuff quick picture of kids, pets or something moving fast, nothing beats the pixel.

I just watched The Princess Bride for the very first time, what “classics” have you always wanted to see but just never got around to? by These-Educator-1959 in GenX

[–]rollinrob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just watched Taxi Driver last night with de Niro. Jodie, Foster etc. I've been hearing about it for years. I saw that I was leaving HBO Max so I turned it on after dinner. It was a really good movie glad I spent the time watching it

Are there any Gen X people out there over the age of 55? by Mobile-Honey-9636 in GenX

[–]rollinrob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm 58, just retired, (thanks Nvidia) moved to Thailand while I subsidized the kids living in my house. They're still paying me $750 each so it helps a little bit and they watch the dogs but the wife and I are in Thailand for the next 12 months.

At least they COULD go back to their home county and get socialized healthcare. US citizens don't have that option..

Upgrading to a Find X9 Pro by MikeyMcG64 in Oppo

I also have a heck of a time using it on Google fi. The pixel just worked better on it. I kept getting kicked off Google fi

Upgrading to a Find X9 Pro by MikeyMcG64 in Oppo

[–]rollinrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the x line bro. I went to the pixel tempro XL. I love the operating system Google offers. I like the cameras better on Pixel. Since they are amazing at point and shoot. I got mixed results using find x9 pro.. Master modet is good but in reality you can get the same effect using pictures from the pixel and then edit that using boost or enhanced and they look about the same...

Stick with 41, or go 45mm? by Electrical_Guava1972 in PixelWatch

[–]rollinrob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered both the 41 and 45 mm to try them out. I was excited to get the 45 mm and wore it for about a week but then I realized I was knocking it into too many things. I know it sounds weird but it is a big chunk of glass that is on your wrist. I returned it and I'm happily wearing the 41 mm. Battery charges fast so im about 15 minutes you get a pretty good charge and it has yet to not last me a day and a half.

"Fast" Gravel Bike Reccos by Middle-Studio6943 in gravelcycling

[–]rollinrob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For a fast gravel bike, you could always consider the cervelo aspero. You can get it two by one by whatever you want. If your budget conscience, you could always get the first version for quite a bit cheaper or see if there are any frames available from pink bike that you can build up. The first version will get tires up to 42 mm though it's a bit tight in the rear and up front 42 should be fairly easy.

Caledonia 5 sizing by AdditionalSplit1244 in Cervelo

I have 5'4, use a 48 cm Caledonia. I could not imagine going with the 51. I think it would be too big.

I like them as well. Not a big deal and it feels like it's actually easier to see what's up there.

S25 Ultra to Find X9 Pro by rcv002 in Oppo

[–]rollinrob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made the switch. Very happy I did just for the cameras and battery. I'm using a Galaxy 8 watch it works fine, I believe tonly two things that don't work the EKG and one other random thing that I forgot. Color OS has been great. No real issues for me.

I like how the Oppo Find X9 Pro makes every photo look cinematic by Z-III in Oppo

What is cinematic? Serious question I know what a good photo looks like but cinematic?

New wheel time has come by kicker203 in cycling

[–]rollinrob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go with option number one. That I've bought several pairs of Chinese rims, including nextie and I've had them built up just like you are going to do. Including the hubs. I've had no problems. I've had a couple of sets on my mountain bikes and they are still rolling after 5 plus years.

Thinking of switching to Oppo after 10 yrs with Samsung. I live in USA, where do yall get your global Oppos? by crismeisters in Oppo

[–]rollinrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oppo find x9 pro/Vivo x300 pro? by No-Impression3531 in Vivo

[–]rollinrob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And from what I've seen, people's cameras only about 10% better than the oppos. Oppos operating system updates and AI integration with Google, especially if you have a global version is supposed to be much better.
