When it comes to syntax, on-the-nose rigor in evaluation is vital. Additionally, so much information is shared in tone, that a genuine response - untethered from fear of lacking rigor - brings so much to the review...for me, at least, : ).

[@austin.paquette]

If you haven't switched yet, take it from someone who ran a Nexus 5X, Pixel 3 and now Pixel 6, it's jarring at first but you get used to it. I prefer it now because it can be used on a flat surface. You might hear that it's slower than the old one, which might be slightly true, but I find it took a week or so for it to find its stride and get really consistent.

I agree with the in screen fingerprint comment! I have the fold 3 (upgraded from Note 9) and having the fingerprint sensor right where the power button is is the MOST ideal spot for it! I can easily take it out of my pocket and unlock it to use my mobile pay and immediately lock and pocket my phone without having to shuffle my hands around it AT ALL. My dad on the other hand just bought the S21 Ultra and realized his case isn't going to work with the fingerprint sensor and he can't use just any old cheap glass screen protector anymore like he could on his Note 4 because of the fingerprint sensor. Mobile companies need to scrap the in screen fingerprint sensor and just stick it under the power button. Most likely one of your fingers are going to be there anyways so why change it? Plus it's faster and more reliable. Admittedly I liked the idea of it at first but it seems like too much of a pain to me now. Forget about it and focus on improving something else like minimizing the camera bumps again.

It can make some high-end signal sound distorted, but it's definitely good at bringing up the low-mids. I was hoping they'd keep that for the 6/6pro because I haven't heard of other phones doing that and it's not like a "listed" feature!

Got to agree about the fingerprint sensors. Just upgraded from the S9 to the S21 Ultra and it's just awkward getting it to unlock using the underscreen one. The S9 was easy, I knew exactly where to put my finger as I picked up the device and if I missed by a tiny bit it was a doddle to adjust to the right spot as I could feel it under my finger. Now I get a half dozen errors because my finger is only partially on the sensor and I have to retry to get a good read. Maybe it'll be easier with muscle memory (it's only a week in at this point) but it's definitely a step backwards in ease of use imo.

[@atraxxtheone]

Remember, not all headphone jacks are created equal, and you won't always get the same audio experience. There are USB C DACs that will give you higher res audio if you want to use a headphone jack.

I love the animosity between LTT and Dbrand like they like each other but in a friends who actually hate each other while still being friends kind of way

[@ssl3546]

dBrand gets more sales by poking the bear and by LTT pretending to be offended. It's all just business.

[@siggy6044]

Yup, I'm sure those software toggles for the mic and camera are super secure 😅

[@ProfessorMembrane373]

Why not?

[@liamphillips2339]

Its just you can't trust a notoriously pravacy invading company with anything but hardware toggles. But that goes for any smartphone not geared towards true privacy. Still cool to see it though.

[@KieranShort]

Folded optics are optics. Building microscopes, etc. you bounce lasers off all sorts of mirrors and through filters to shape the excitation light. It's just bouncing light off of mirrors.

[@Razor2048]

Software toggles are useless for the camera and mic. If your phone's software is compromised then the attacker can use those toggles as well. They need to be hardware toggles that physically cut the power to the component.

[@Momi_V]

But if your phone isn't compromised you can be sure that no app, whether you gave it permission to use the camera at some point or not, can access it while you are, for example in the bathroom.

Just got my pixel 6, speakers are really meh and I do miss the physical buttons I had on my SONIM XP7, but it was time for an upgrade and this is very nice! I'm really loving the Ai functions, useful for my work. I also wish it wasn't a glass back, to but that is a personal preference.

[@Samsonfs]

I really wish the 6pro was just ever so slightly "more pro" with a slightly brighter screen and a couple of tiny improvements because I don't really like the design of the normal 6 but an extra £300 or £400 for the 256gb pro over base is a bit steep

[@andrewknowles55]

That's interesting, I'm in a similar boat in thinking the pro isn't really worth the extra cash, but a big part of that reason is because I find all of the colours of the pro so boring. I'll be getting it in 'sorta seafoam', I think it looks awesome. I tend not to use cases!

[@UnderageBeerHere]

Yea their pricing team really f'ed up here. I guarantee we'll see deep discounts on the 6 Pro by Black Friday. There is just no way enough people don't jump on the $599 Pixel 6 base model, as the $300 price hike for the Pro is laughable and offers nothing worth that much value to step up to that model. They should have priced it at $750 or $799 at the highest.

[@akis9252]

I have a Poco F3. The default Gallery app identifies through AI persons in photos and remove it, yesterday I took a photo on a square and identified the 32 persons and erased them with far better results than what I saw on your demo. Americans are experts creating hype and presenting already existing features as their own and new. It's amazing.

Lol it translated Marie as 馬力 (ma li), literally "horsepower." I guess it still falls short when it comes to context

[@DipDuckFantasy]

That's the problem when trying to translate a language that shares same pronounciation with multiple words like Chinese and Japanese, which happens a lot even when native speakers talking face to face. Unless the AI understands the context, this can hardly be solved I guess.

[@user-tl5yr3uz6o]

The problem with google assistant or translater is that it has difficulty to take 2 different languages at the same time. That's that why when Andy was mixing Chinese and English in one sentence, the translater was having a problem with English part, coz it was in Chinese mode first.
