Please, please bring back wireless charging. I hate my Pixel 7 pro so much and want to go back to OP, but I can’t use a phone without wireless charging.

I don’t experience that hostility tbh. Maybe because I’m not a teenager? People I know are split about 50/50.
I’m also in hcol area in USA so iphone isn’t really a status symbol. Everyone can afford an iPhone, they just treat phones as tools so they get whatever works best for them.
I’d love to find out which group they actually tried to target, but if you’re right - I completely agree. No way I’m handing credentials to my Google account over. That’s why normal companies have APIs.
RCS might not be perfect, but at least it’s open.
I really hope EU will continue the trend of forcing Apple to become less of a piece of shit company.
I think very few Android users are actively part of Apple ecosystem. These are just blank accounts they create to show up in a different color on ios messages. I can give you my apple password. I created it when I was briefly issued a Mac at work 10 years ago and never used it since.
GOS cuts out the few reasons to even use pixel like call screening and Google camera. I hate Google as much as the next guy, but giving them money and then severely disabling your phone to avoid their services makes no sense to me.
Not many Android options out there. Basically just pixel or oneplus. Oneplus is dead to me until they bring back wireless charging and pixel is a trash phone with endless bugs and garbage battery life. Samsung ruined excellent hardware with garbage software with ads and bloat ware.
So anyway, if OP bring wireless charging back in next generation, I’ll tolerate a few non removable apps to use a phone that actually lasts all day and has working Bluetooth.
Isn’t chewing it half the fun of boba?
Not really. Like I said in a comment above, if they treat magic as advanced tech to be explored - sci fi. If it’s treated as a given - fantasy.
Lots of great horror sci fi, but definitely different genres.
Approach is different. If they treat magic as given without trying to understand it - fantasy. If they treat it as advanced tech - sci fi.
To be fair the first book is so much better than the rest that I think it should be a movie, not a show.
I always wonder why sci-fi gets mixed in with fantasy so much? It’s always a pain to find decent movie/show or a book because these categories are treated as the same thing.
In my mind they are trivial to separate and I struggle to think of a single book or a film/show that even comes close to crossing over.
I enjoy quality writing in either genre, but as I get older I gravitate towards sci-fi because most fantasy seems to be written for younger audience with some great exceptions like Chronicles of Amber or Witcher.
And just to stay on topic, I nominate Asprin’s Myth Adventures.
Ms are only worth drooling over as far as power consumption. Relatively cheap 7840u outperforms M2 in every benchmark. I9s are just in a completely different league.
I’ll wait for Snapdragon X Elite from a more reasonable company or a RISC-V chip in a Linux laptop if stars really align.
Horrible battery. Doesn’t last even close to a full day. 18:00 here and my phone is at 6%. Will be dead in <1 hour. Was fully charged at 8:00. Typical use. I don’t play games on my phone.
What’s worse is it takes forever to charge compared to OP. 20W max. Wireless charging is only useful overnight. Takes like 6 hours.
Constant, fucking Bluetooth issues. I mean constant. There’s a bug with Samsung watch so every time I answer the phone caller cannot hear me until I cycle through speakers. Even without watch connected you never know which BT device will connect when answering the phone (if any.) Sometimes nothing at all works. My personal favorite is it will sometimes randomly switch to a different BT device mid call. I’ll be on headset and will suddenly start hearing the call through my watch.
Android auto works like shit. Wired is sort of tolerable, wireless barely works. Interrupting audio, constant disconnects or just refusal to connect.
Absolute shit reception. I didn’t think it was possible to have worse reception than iphone, but pixel is so much worse.
Overall 3/10. Love the spam call filtering and camera, but rest is my worst experience with a phone ever.
P. S. I’m down to 4% while I typed this message. Fuck pixel. Buy something else.
