Well, that wins the award for most disappointing phone I've ever used on launch day. Literally everything about it was at very best slightly worse than my current phone. That's been my issue with the Pixel line. Other than "stock Android" (whatever that means), it doesn't have anything you can point to as far as unique offerings go. Sure, it may be tops as far as cameras go, but that's like a supercar that's 0.1 seconds faster than the rest. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius ...

I turned off Bixby the day I got my Note 8 and haven't seen it since.
But yeah, I honestly don't understand why the UI is so unintuitive on the Pixel 3. Doesn't make any sense. --- Physician [Internal Medicine] ... Copied to Clipboard!

I love how coffee thinks she's some paragon of smartphone expertise when she constantly makes shit up and lies.
And lol at SSJ Goku 3 rearing his ass in his master's topic. Already admit he's used Pixel only for 5 minutes, of course he's not going to get stock. Both coffee and SSJ 3 are blind fanboys. Again, as I've mentioned, the Pixel 2 was an upgrade to my Note 8 and S8 in every way. Now coffee, who claimed she can charge her Note 8 from 0 to 100% in under an hour, which is not possible, says the Pixel 3 is actually slower. The saddest part is all the fools who listen to her BS opinions and think it's true. Only person that I would actually listen here is Tyranthraxus since he actually works in tech iirc and understands the huge difference. --- "Scranton is great, but New York is like Scranton on acid.

I love how coffee thinks she's some paragon of smartphone expertise when she constantly makes shit up and lies. Coffee's problem with smartphones that she refuses to acknowledge is that she refuses to give a smartphone a fair shake when she first starts using it. I have the distinct impression that the moment she turns it on, she has already passed judgment on whether or not she will like it. I also found the double swipe up to access the app drawer to be a little disconcerting at first (one could also just swipe up in one smooth motion to bypass the task manager, and it also doesn't require returning to the home screen to access the app drawer), but I quickly got used to it. Sure I would like to go back to having dedicated task manager and app drawer buttons while keeping the new button, but I can live with this setup as it is better in some ways. --- Hmm... ...

LockeMonster posted...I love how coffee thinks she's some paragon of smartphone expertise when she constantly makes shit up and lies. I don't want to have to "live" with issues like that if I seemingly get nothing else in return. It's not faster than my Note 8. The screen is not noticeably better. The notch is simply too big and intrusive. There's no headphone jack. There's no SD slot. The UI and gesture system are unintuitive. What do I get for all those issues? A better camera? Hell, because it has less RAM I encountered app reloading almost immediately. There's no excuse for a non-Apple $899 product to have 4 GB of RAM in 2018. You can wax poetic about the advantages of "pure Android", but from the experience I had, the only thing "pure" about it was a lack of features. And some features, like squeezing your phone to activate the Assistant, were just awful. Who thought that was a good idea? --- Physician [Internal Medicine] ... Copied to Clipboard!

Wow calm the hell down I've never seen a guy rant with as much disdain as he does. He takes these disagreements personal, which is hilarious. Or I can just buy a phone that doesn't fucking have it in the first place Of course that's an option, but any damn phone is going to have stuff you don't want or care about. What you do at that point is disable them. You're not going to have a device that has 100% of what you want and don't want. Just like Bixby, I don't care about Siri on my iPad. No problem - that's disabled too. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius ... Copied to Clipboard!

Samsung has a second, stupid feature which took me like 3 months to figure out that lets you push the home button even when the screen is off.
