Since there’s no self posts here yet, I thought I’d bring up a question for those that decided to settle into Lemmy. Welcome to those here so far!
There’s a ton of reasons to choose the a Pixel, but what’s one or two major points that keep you hooked?
For me, I’m in love with the speed of the UI, and of course the ability to sideload apps if I want. Being in control of a device you spend a lot of money on makes a lot of sense.
Wife wanted a decent camera, and I wanted to switch to Google Fi, so she got the 6 Pro. I really hate the curved edges and all the problems with screen protectors that go along with it, as putting those on falls to me. She seems to love everything else about it.
The curved edges on the 6/7 pro is so bad. I bought a 3 pack of glass screen protectors for my 6 pro, and not only did they take a *long *time to install, but they cost me $50.
For reference, I got 3 glass screen protectors for my 4 XL for $12, and they take about 60 seconds to install.
I just decided to go naked with my 7 Pro, despite me not having a lot of money to replace it if it breaks. I just cannot justify $50 screen protectors that need UV glue to install them.
I couldn’t get the glass to work. Totally failed. Then went with the flexible “self healing” skin protector. Got it on perfectly, but it’s like soft rubber, kinda grippy when you try to slide your finger across it.
At this point I didn’t give a shit if the fingerprint worked or not lol. Haven’t tested, she don’t care.
I’ve heard the 8 pro gets a flat screen. Hope so.
