Google Pixel 8 series

I assume that's a yes. And if that's the case, it wouldn't matter because you would have bought it nonetheless. Just like Apple users who complain there's nothing new with the new iPhone and proceeds to buy it anyway.

I missed the native photo burst feature that was replaced by the stupid short video thingy, and at low resolution no less.

Google reportedly will be fixing the scrolling issue in Android 15, so it may not be a hardware problem.

But yes, like limmk, I have a love-hate relationship with Pixel phones, and unfortunately, there isn't any other phone in the market that interests me. Nothing phone is the only other phone where I can tolerate the UI, but the phone's chip is two-generation old and I'm not sure if the camera can beat Pixel.

The one thing that interest me is this Boost mode for night scene videos, looks waaaaay better than the s**tty noisy night scene videos with my Pixel 7 Pro.

But it requires uploading to G cloud for processing and ? upscaling.

Anyone tried ?

Video boost does seem promising, but it's painfully slow

That's what makes it more annoying for me as a user. Like they say can simply don't buy pixel but there's no other OEM I'd rather go to now other than Google or Apple.

I've run through the gauntlet of brands/OSes and this is what I've settled on, but Pixel phones are just full of inconsistencies.

Maybe I'd finally go for iOS after they remove the ugly notch.

TL;DR

• Google has announced that OnePlus and OPPO phones will get Gemini-powered features like summaries and an AI toolbox.
• The smartphone brands also said they plan to be the first to launch AI features based on Gemini Ultra.
• By contrast, Google and Samsung use the less capable Gemini Nano and Gemini Pro AI models on their phones.

What issue are you trying to resolve with CDTI? I remember it's 1 year warranty but apparently the fine print says otherwise.

Edit:

Both phones have a one-year Google-backed warranty in Singapore (shorter than the two-year warranty in Europe, the U.K. and Australia).

Whitestone dome EA got a sliver of black border (not thick like Spigen) will show the dust less at the edge.

Glad to help, the TGSP really feels like it's not there. Where did you get yours done and what's the damage?

Google needs to fix its Pixel fragmentation problem before it's too late

https://www.androidpolice.com/google-pixel-fragmentation-problem/

Google's hardware failed to get Google's software first, instead playing second fiddle to its launch partner.
