Apparently pixel fold is out next year so I'm waiting for that. Pixel 4 is still doing everything perfectly for the time being.
P30 pro! Wow! That's wasn't out yesterday! How's the battery @Aaron.. ?Tbh, I don't need a phone. I'm paying £20 for 80gb on O2 on sim only and my P30Pro is fine. I just keep seeing new deals and for another £20 pm I could have a new phone and a watch.
Battery is still decent tbh. It lasts a full day generally. If I'm watching videos/playing games a lot in work I might have to put it on charge in the evening but that's rare.P30 pro! Wow! That's wasn't out yesterday! How's the battery @Aaron.. ?
Thats with activities though. Up to 24 hours if used as a watch, 8-9 if using features 🙁Nothing last like a Garmin mate. Apple even the Ultra is 2, 3 days at very most with activities.
Love the first shot. Crispy!Agreed. I've started taking this for granted but here's a few random shots from last sat out in Nottingham. The closeups are great quality imoView attachment 1615419View attachment 1615420View attachment 1615421
The pixel watch is the norm though. If you're used to Garmin, it will always be hard to change. The captain thing that Michael Fisher uses is my favout but it's 4 figures!Thats with activities though. Up to 24 hours if used as a watch, 8-9 if using features 🙁
Maybe I'll get it and flog it to fund another Garmin.
Is it? I wasn't sure tbh as I've only had a Garmin. Seemed a little low but if it's the norm then I'd have to get used to charging it each night I suppose.The pixel watch is the norm though.

Very tempted to go for the Pixel 7pro. Can be had for around £40 per month on a 2 year deal which also includes the Pixel watch with an RRP of £350 or so, which is handy as my Garmin decided it wasn't waterproof anymore and my G-Shock has lost a button.
It’s so pretty! 😍I will remember that next time I need to take a photo of my stormtrooper helmet in the garden!
Still two weeks til mine arrives, can’t wait. I was delayed ordering it because I couldn’t put my number in the field required, there was a bug. Oh well.
That's an amazing deal mate, i am paying £40 a month for my 6 pro which was the best deal i could get a couple of months ago, pretty happy with mine apart from a couple of niggles, like you can't cast your phone to the TV, but overall it's a very good phone.Very tempted to go for the Pixel 7pro.

Yeah i remember you needing the Google puck to do that when I had my Pixel 2.That's an amazing deal mate, i am paying £40 a month for my 6 pro which was the best deal i could get a couple of months ago, pretty happy with mine apart from a couple of niggles, like you can't cast your phone to the TV, but overall it's a very good phone.

New fingerprint sensor and face unlock massively improved on the 7.They keep removing features and its annoying. The face unlock on my Pixel 4 is brilliant, but for the 5 and 6 they ditched it.
I didn't see a decent increase in anything between my 4 and her 6 other than battery life. The 4 had a better processor than the 5 too and the same physical camera hardware so I never bothered hankering after an upgrade.
I'm going to hold out until it gets too slow to use or dies, or on the off chance that Google do release their folding phone next year.

Ahh 7 has face unlock back?New fingerprint sensor and face unlock massively improved on the 7.
Same, until I got the 4 and the face unlock was so good. Pretty much used that exclusively for 3 years now. The only time I missed fingerprint was in shops during covid because of the mask. It will unlock the phone before I've even got my hand into position, so by the time its out of my pocket and angled at my face its already unlocked, or while driving with phone on windscreen which is also pretty handy for full voice control without touching the phone.Ahh right, never felt the need for face unlock.
Always used the fingerprint which has been faultless on my 5. The 4 was a bit slower to unlock.
Yup! Seems to be good by all accounts so far.Ahh 7 has face unlock back?
You can't cast to TV with newer Pixels?
I can on my Pixel 5 i'm sure...
I'm using a pixel 6 pro to cast videos and picture saved on the phone to my TV. Not sure if I'm not understanding what you're trying to do, so sorry if I'm missing your point
Do you have to pay for AllCast? i tried a couple of apps at the weekend but they were free trials then you had to pay? i didn't mess about for long though.Used to be able to do this with apps.
I currently use AllCast to cast videos and pictures from my phone to our TV and that works really good.
My 6 shows the cast feature, but it won't connect to my TV, i have read it's been disconnected?Just with @Willo40 saying he can't cast using his 6, made me question why you can't with newer Pixels.
You say you're using 3rd party casting apps? Never used to have to do that.
Yes I switched from an iPhone 5 to the original Pixel XL when it first came out and have never switched back.Haven't read all the responses, but has anyone gone from iPhone to Pixel? Curious as to what your thoughts are.
A few years ago I had a brief foray from the iPhone 6S to the Samsung S9. Ended up switching back once my contract had ran it's course, as I didn't massively get on with it. Thought the whole UI was cumbersome and complicated, and found it very annoying how it took an age to take a picture. I replaced it with an 11 pro which just seemed to work so much better - the only feature I really missed was the fingerprint unlock on the back
My og pixel would cast to my very old smart TV, the 4 does not. I always just figured it was because the TV was ancient. It was a really useful feature for showing people photos etc. The YouTube cast still works but that's operating in a different way, not actually casting any video and more telling the YouTube app on the TV what to play.My 6 shows the cast feature, but it won't connect to my TV, i have read it's been disconnected?
Quite a difficult one that. The 11pro was a fantastic phone, really brought iPhone back from some mediocority imo and started moving people back from Android.Haven't read all the responses, but has anyone gone from iPhone to Pixel? Curious as to what your thoughts are.

It still boggles my mind some of the simple things that you cannot do on an iphone. I just found out the other day that you don't have notification icons in the top bar of your home screen? That to me is weird in itself.
My S20 would cast to my TV no problem, and my tv has the mirror feature.My og pixel would cast to my very old smart TV, the 4 does not. I always just figured it was because the TV was ancient.

Thanks mate, will have another look, it's not a show stopper, just a bit annoying sometimes.I think there is a free version with ads, and a paid version. But I've had the paid version for as long as I can remember to be honest, so it may have changed
Probably easier to get a chromecast if they still exist? Assume they would work?I think there is a free version with ads, and a paid version. But I've had the paid version for as long as I can remember to be honest, so it may have changed
i think i read if your TV has chromecast it will work yes.Probably easier to get a chromecast if they still exist? Assume they would work?
Ahh thats probably why mine has stopped working, my Samsung TV is 8 years old this year!You use the google home app to cast to chromecast or any app will cast staright to chromecast. Also things like samsung tvs usually show up whilst viewing content and will ask if ypu want to share to screen.
