It's always better to have more features available but Qi2 is a standard not just magnets. It guarantees Qi2 charger compatibility and also charging speed. Previously still need to research which wireless chargers/case combo works due to placement of the magnets, charging coils, charger shape and charger specs etc., now just see Qi2 compatible can already.

So it's good for unifying the standards and to create less electronic junk also moving forward. Now pixel can use all the magsafe accessories also so more options for accessories. But dunno why google cannot include wired reverse charging?

Yup ur right.. got pros and cons.. but u also need to factor in the battery health assistance will kick in after 200 cycles (probably 6-9 months later after first boot up).. your qi2.2 charging speed will become slower over time also lol...

What's the percentage of users using batt share or even knowing the function exists?

Quite curious how regularly you've used it, cause I've at most tried it once and then never used it ever again.
For my case.. good to have..can charge some earbuds and help others top up battery during emergency lol..

The promo should be the same as FairPrice. Since FairPrice is selling on behalf of SingTel.
But to be sure, can always check with SingTel agent on this.
But Singtel CSO stated that only applicable for 1TB model which is the Obsidian Black that has 1TB only. :s22:

The G5 GPU performance is also worse than pixel 9.
Looking at the benchmark charts, it's very likely to be driver issue not GPU issue. I think they will ship with new driver. The peak GPU frequency only 396Mhz during the tests.

Lmao. Google store oos for pro and xl models. In cart but no stock. Helps.
Will restock one, pre-order ends 8th Sept and the shipping date usually will be earlier than stated at checkout. Just subscribe to email notification for stock.

Ya, saw the benchmarks too. seems like Google is optimizing more for AI and battery life than gaming. hopefully new driver update can fix the performance lor

Even for optimization for battery life it's weird to limit the GPU power to like 1/3 it's max capacity.

They are using Imagination DXT-48-1536 instead of G4's Arm Mali-G715. No Ray tracing and compatibility issues for powerVR graphics, if you're hardcore gamer it's not looking good even if they fix the driver. But at least not as bad as the benchmark suggests for casual gamers.

Ya lor, like purposely handicap the GPU sia. machiam buy sports car then limit speed to 60km/h sia. hardcore gamer confirm sian one. hope the driver update can unlock more power, so don’t give up hope yet 🤞
