Best Pixel TIP 2024: Wait for the new Pixel's with TSMC Chips!!!

[@Stillalongwayfromhome]

With Pixel 8a, what are the default settings (on or off) for 'Location, Location Services, Bluetooth Scanning' and 'Location, Location Services, Wifi Scanning'?

[@KianFloppa]

yes

[@BiscuitNgravy13]

Is the Pixel better than the Samsung S24 U?

[@angiehughes7467]

I was wanting to know the same thing??? 😅

[@BojanTomic]

Well, 8A definitely not, as it's a mid-range device. But when it comes to Pixel 8 Pro, then definitely, unless you're like a big mobile gamer or do some video editing on a phone.

[@BiscuitNgravy13]

@@BojanTomic I have the S24 U, and really the only thing stopping me from trying Pixel is that their watch isn't great. It needs to be bigger etc. If they can polish up the watch I would definitely give Pixel a try for a couple years, like I did iPhone, but that phone sucks, however did like their watch

[@Rinnara21]

@@BiscuitNgravy13 I want to try a pixel phone too but I’m waiting for them to get a better chip. I sold my Samsung S22U + Watch 5 and now have an iPhone 15PM + Watch series 9. Unlike you, however, I’m having a great time with iOS and may struggle big time to leave them. I even got an iPad recently 😅

[@BiscuitNgravy13]

@@Rinnara21 ya I was down that road for 2 years but iPhone just makes basic things hard. You have to create shortcuts, I hate the dynamic island, no split screen multitasking, customization isn't there. I will never go back to Apple, they are being forced to do things because they are stubborn and the courts said nope. That's why they have USB-C now and are adopting RCS but still keeping iMessage. Plus their watch can't do body composition, track naps, and poor battery life compared to Samsung. Just too many things for me, but I'm glad you are enjoying it!!! A lot of people do, but I feel like that with Android and Samsung, until I try a Pixel. I really want the country to let us use more if the Chinese brands because those are amazing as well!

[@boohman1431]

Things like call screening and most of all the phone features doesn't exist outside the US. 😕

[@trevorheywood975]

Works in the UK

[@MsMytube75]

For 300usd I would consider it😅

[@davidcarefoot8231]

I'm from the southern US and you're a little hard for me to understand. A little clearer enunciation would help. Thanks for the tips!

[@Lexsoufz]

subtitles are magical...... aren't they ?

Baby pixel

[@Cantripping]

Tip #1: Buy a Pixel 8 instead. Just kidding, just get a Poco F6. Much better.

[@BojanTomic]

And get a bad UI and updates...never? Yeah, no.

[@Cantripping]

@@BojanTomic Shows how badly informed you are. They're getting 3 years OS, 4 Security.

[@andrepower6]

​@@Cantripping Switching from a Poco F1 to a Google pixel since miui and now their new reskin OS is terrible and full of bloat, not only that but 7 years of updates plus a better camera and screen is always a plus, unless you are a gamer theres no reason to stay with a Xiaomi product, yes they have amazing hardware for the price but the software makes it not worth it in the end. My poco F1 was a great deal and it lasted a long time but it was filled with bugs since the begining and the support was lackluster at best and unacceptable at worst. I have seen plenty of my friends and family switch from other phones to Xiaomis and they end up switching again because the software is so unrefined, some of their decisions are beyond stupid, my girlfriends phone battery life was destroyed by an update even though it had 5000mAh and a mid range chip it couldn't last a day since that update, people complained it broke their phone but they took ages to fix it. The camera on her phone has also slowed down considerably and the gallery app doesn't even open properly anymore, all this from completely ligh use of her phone, she doesn't game on it or do anything intensive, she tolerates it but for me im done with it for quite a while, as someone who uses their phone for longer than 5 years I need software that actually stands the test of time.
