The New Phone Thread

Gestures work lovely on the samsung too!

So much better, swiping from the side to go back is w**k and bringing up the used apps doesn't always work 😂


Wish Google would allow some more customisation of that

Upgrading from my Pixel 6 Pro. Very interested to try out the 100x AI camera.

Should be a noticeable upgrade.

Should be a noticeable upgrade.

So far the most noticeable thing is that I no longer have access to the Barclays Banking app. Could be interesting given I have to use it to pay all the staff tonight...

You can transfer it using an activation code generated on the old device.... Assuming you still have it

What storage do these have?

You'd think, but with Barclays nothing is simple.

"Go to your old device and choose 'Generate QR' code in the Barcalys app"

Instant random error code on the old app. f**king useless. I'm not pissing around with it today at the risk of getting locked out so I'll sort next week once the staff have been paid.

I think they go up to 1TB storage but I just went for 256GB as I have everything on the cloud nowadays.

Start at 256GB and go up to 1TB.

I had the exact same thing, and while I'm quick to complain about many things, they sorted it in under 10 minutes, including the wait on hold.

I've already wasted 30 minutes on the phone with them today trying to sort my PC login to business banking because my f**king credentials wouldn't work only to be told that I was incorrectly selecting the PIN Sentry option rather than the Mobile PIN Sentry. I need to wait a few days for the shame to subside before calling them back about this.

Just tried out the super zoom business, quite impressive, and shot through a window as well (0.5x up to 100x):

Gets obvious up close how much the AI is filling in with stuff like text though it does helpfully also save out the 'original' for each AI enhanced shot:

Moon shot next please.

Too cloudy, but you can have a pigeon:

No way that pigeon looks that good! 🤣🤣🤣
Some serious AI trickery going on there.

Impressive though

 

[Tighten My Nuts]

That's incredible!

Ordered 2 X Pixel 10 Pros (not XL checked sizes in a store on Sunday and the pro will do just fine)

Got £1036 in trade in for 2 x Pixel 8 Pros plus £200 store credit.

Just ordered 2 X Pixel snap cases, screen protectors and the charging stands.

Total cost £1030 so effectively got two phones for the price of one with the deals on!

Happy with mine so far.

Screen is better than my Pixel 7 and the fingerprint reading has been faultless, whereas the 7 used to not sense it properly sometimes.

Camera is a big upgrade too, the macro mode was surprisingly good. Can get so close to things and still be able to focus.

I'm now obsessed with taking s**t photos of things far away and gawping at the AI enhancement:

No zoom (there is a squirrel on the fence):

Normal Zoom:

AI Enhanced Zoom:

I need to sort a new contract out as mines finished on my S22u and I'm still paying the same amount.

Only slight annoyance is that it only kicks in above 30x zoom, while the optical zoome is just x5, so anything between x5 and x30 is often actually worse quality than the x30+. It'd be nice if you could apply the super-res to that middle ground.
