The New Phone Thread

[Ay Ay Ron]

I can cast from my P30Pro to my LG TV from certain apps, not that I've done it, I just get a notification asking if I want to.

Still undecided on the Pixel 7 tbh as I don't need it. Might wait until people have had them for a bit and go from there.

I want the 7, but it's gonna cost me 120 quid to end my current contract 😭 probably worth doing for the free watch tbf

The watch is worth about £350 if you were using it.

I'd use it till the novelty ran out then probably flog it tbh

 

[MarkCup]

I'm tempted to chop my 6 in for a 7 Pro...based on the watch freebie and with a some solid value in the 6, a few hundred gets me much needed camera/video improvements.

Trading in my 5 would of paid to exit my contract.....had I not smashed the screen last week 🤦

That's what I was like when I was going to trade my 2xl. Thought I'd give it a clean before taking it to the shop, slipped out of my had, front screen obliterated.

 

[RSRowe]

Didn’t quite realise the size of the P7 Pro!!
I feel like the iPhone 11 Pro is the perfect size

 

[Gally]

Yeah the 11 pro is a lovely size as is the the 12 and 13 even with the sharper sides. No way I could go back to a small screen sadly. But yeah the 11 pro is a great shape and size.

In green it's a special..

Looking forward to my 14 arriving, my XS max took a big impact when I came off a moped recently and landed on my side, with the phone in my pocket, lol. Let's hope Apple don't dig too deep as it's going their way as a trade in 😂 Tbf the case did its job, phone still looks in good condition. Case is absolutely fucked though.

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

Missus has gone through everything. Had BlackBerry when I met her lol, then iPhone, then Windows Phone, then Android for a couple of phones... then back to iPhone and now on Pixel 6!

Not had it long. She loves the camera. There seems to be a bit of an issue with notifications not always coming in, drives me mad more than her because it makes her hard to get hold of! Personally don't like the size either but that's just my issue with bigger phones.

Been apple forever and currently rocking a 12 Pro Max for the past year and a bit.

I really like the Samsung fold but unsure if I will regret the switch. Anyone on here got one?

 

[-Jamie-]

Thinking of going for a Pixel 7pro to replace my S21U, mainly due to the free watch deal


Not a huge fan of the S22u styling unfortunately or I'd just pick one of them

 

[imprezaworks]

You buying it outright or contract?.

 

[-Jamie-]

Free upgrade time, not paid any attention to the Pixel so need to watch a few videos when I get home I guess.

 

[imprezaworks]

Wonder what the contract prices are. Always looking lol

If you're a through and through iPhone man I'd just wait for the inevitable flip screen iPhone 😜

That Apple will claim they invented 😜

 

[CrippsCorner]

Of course... because it'll be better than any alternative out there. Usual Apple way 🤭

 

[Rubicon_]

I’ve bit the bullet. If apple release one I will jump back. Keeping the iPhone as a precaution also 😅

Pixel 7 arrived today, I'm a little underwhelmed by it on my first impressions being brutally honest.
Maybe I need some more time with it to get it setup how I like.
Took a few shots outside at work today, wasn't impressed with some of the images - badly focussed / sun spots / overly enhanced colours.

 

[Gally]

Bad images. 😂 how the hell do you take bad images with any pixel!

 

[celicaturbolly]

Best quality it would let me upload before the pay wall. My old phone would have done a better job I'm sure.
Even typing this message is worse, am I just old and don't understand tech now lol

Yeah pretty poo

 

[Robbie Corbett]

I mean, your taking pictures into the sun.... Is the plastic film off the camera lens?

Serious question, I had mine in for weeks until I realised.

Nice RR 👍

 

[Gally]

Something not right there. Also double check for any updates, with it being a new phone.

 

[celicaturbolly]

Thanks for the advice all, there is no film on the lens, I did check that after seeing your message.

I've applied to return it back to EE and just going to stick with my old handset

 

[-Jamie-]

Might just go S22u and suck up how it looks going by some reviews etc of the Pixel


Those photos are shite [emoji1787]

 

[Gally]

A mixture of shots on the s22u. Mostly on 3x probably. The one that was quite striking was the one of Luca. The natural sensor depth from a smart phone is insane. No portrait fakery.

Very crisp at times.

What you doing down here! Did you drink the water?

Random picture taken on Pixel 4, which to me looks as good as the 7 above, would have hoped for a bigger improvement given its 3 generations back!

 

[Gally]

That's also a s**t picture in fairness. 😂

Down for a long weekend sight seeing

Yes its just a random one - was trying to find one into the sun for a direct comparison but can't find many.

The S22 pics do look super sharp!

Only 'in to the sun' pics I can find on my google pics - so they are compressed I believe. Not sure where the bottom one is focusing.

 

[Gally]

Way sharp enough mate. Bottom shot is great.

 

[Gally]

Few more of the zoom for fun.

 

[Gally]

Oh and f**k that for a job!

Few more from the S22u below.
