and smaller screens? 145 x 65 mm would be perfect! and anything larger than 150 x 70 is too big.
Yep. I held the 7 and 7a in the shop the other day and they were enormous! Bigger than my OnePlus 6T which I think is already huge.
Nope the 8 is basically 150x70. Basically a taller S23. Zenfone wins out for me, even though I prefer smaller.
Assuming Asus deliver on the improved software support, I’m strongly considering jumping to the ZF10
4 years security updates is good enough for me.
I’m not sure if it’s my eyesight changing, but I keep wanting bigger screens now! It’s weird thinking I’m not that far off from having a Nexus 7 held up to my ear while using my S23 Ultra.
That’s what they said about my Nexus 6P. :(
Also for note 7
This phone in particular used its larger battery to provide a very effective portable heater function 😳
Still rocking my Pixel 4a 5G and refuse to upgrade until I absolutely have to.
The camera is more than sufficient, I still get compliments on my photos. The interface is perfectly fine. The battery lasts all day and you’ll pry my aux port from my cold, dead hands!
I’m tired of supporting these yearly releases when there’s been hardly any meaningful change in generations.
Shootout to you from my Pixel 2! :)
I’m still using my Pixel 4XL. Going strong. I don’t feel the need to move on either.
And YES I do miss having an aux port lol.
I know a lot of people were upset with the Pixel 7 battery, and I can’t speak for the base model but Ive had the pro since launch and i usually end the day around 35% with no charge.
As a Pixel 6 Pro user, I’ll probably be picking up an 8 Pro on the account of its flat screen. If Tensor G3 is made using a smaller manufacturing process, that’ll be a bonus. Some 50-100mAh up or down on a 5Ah battery is meaningless and more about the shape of the device than anything else.
It’s interesting how quickly flat screens turning into a selling point over curved. It’s definitely a conflict between usability and design aesthetic.
Curved screens were a nice marketing wank to sell a few newer models but there are few advantages to them and some significant disadvantages. I’m sure most people still buy the marketing though since I have to point out the issues for them to people to notice them. 😁
They did look nice when they first came onto the market. The challenge is that they’re just not great to use or live with!
Agreed. It’s how Samsung sold them to us. 😁
Funnily enough Motorola has launched an Edge series with curved screens.
Sounds like this may be indicative of the Tensor G3 not being significantly more efficient which is kind of disappointing
Are you currently on a Pixel? I haven’t been able to quit Samsung over the last number of years.
Hate Samsung devices still. Using my Pixel 6 Pro and probably will until the Pixel 9 or something
Pixel 7 Pro right now, honestly contemplating trying an iPhone or switching back to Samsung. Battery life is eh, screen brightness is eh, for some reason my GPS is terrible and requires calibrating almost every day or it’ll just randomly move a block or two off constantly.
Not sure, Apple with the iPhone 15 increase their battery capacities while having an efficient CPU, so maybe Google doesn’t want to be relegated. It’s difficult to offer a 1-day battery life when your main opponent is leaning towards 2 days.
