Top right state 5G. Funnily enough, I got 5G speeds last evening in other locations, but my office (Clark quay area) I wasn't even getting LTE speeds. Very strange
5G coverage is not as extensive as LTE .
you will be even more confused to find full bar 5G location with 20Mbps performance versus 1 bar 5G with 900++ Mbps performance.

the performance vary based on payload density at that moment.

Battery life is better on Pw2. Others are the same.

Weird bugs & issues with Pixel 8 Pro so far

- MiChat app stuck at loading screen
- Pink tint when AOD
- no cinematic wallpaper
- In WiFi, the indication of "Connected" will go missing after awhile

1. need to wait for app dev to make compatible.
2. no such issue on my set.
3. wallpaper > more wallpaper > living universal is cinematic wallpaper aka live wallpaper category.

1. Yeah, waiting
2. Yeah, I think it has to do with the theme selected
3. Back when I was with Pixel 7 with Android 13, normal wallpaper could create cinematic wallpaper but after android 14, it just went away. Google 🤦🏻‍♂️

i noticed the pink tint when I have night light on.. but without wont have it

the cinematic wallpaper.. you can do it with any other wallpaper, when you set wallpaper on the top right hand corner, you will see like a sparkle icon, click on it to create cinematic wallpaper

Maybe it detects the surrounding and adapts to the tone

I tried many times but there's no sparkle icon 😭

Hmm.. seems like the option only available if you choose own wallpaper from my photos..
