This is a channel about things I like mostly tech. Most hobby is mobile tech so you get to things from my point of view. I'm no pro just a guy from East Baltimore,Md that likes mobile tech. Follow me on Instagram- BGTechLife
The title is inaccurate. The Pixel series is not the iPhone of Android. That belongs to Samsung. Samsung is the one who locks down the system, doesn't give open source access, and doesn't allow the bootloader to be unlocked. Google does allow the bootloader to be unlocked. You're allowed to root your phone and install custom ROMs, and it's close to stock, which means it's almost open source.
Now for the price the pixel 8 at 549.00 this is more believable compared to the Moto edge 2024 priced currently the same. Edge is no where close in performance but it's minimal like the pixel 8.
Im so glad a few good tech RU-vidrs are covering these pixel phones, I absolutely adore 🥰 Google Pixel ❤ IMHO the iPhone of android fluidity versus performance wise is OnePlus 💯
Been rocking the Pixel 8 since preorder. I'd give it a 7 or 8 out of 10. I'm excited for the Pixel 10 since they won't use Samsung Exnos processors anymore
@@katinasoutherland7693 tbh I feel like whats being reported for the specs for the Pixel 9 should've been on the Pixel 8. Finger print sensor, better ultrawide cam, better video even though they did upgrade that from the 7, better selfie cam, also stop using samsung's old processors, also better app support for my social media like the PIxel 6 did. I love the Pixel line up I've had the 3, 6 and now 8 and I will probably upgrade to the 9 Pro coming up.
I pretty much have the same thoughts as you regarding the camera. The photo quality sucks, but the video quality is fantastic. Samsung needs to dial back the AI processing because that is what's ruining the photos.
I just got the 8a and it's cool so far Thought the bezels would bother me but it really doesn't bc the case covers it anyway. All pixels need better battery imo but I traded in my 6 to T-Mobile for the 8a
Lost my lowly Moto G Pure Budget phone on the bus. Opened a new Straight Talk account at Walmart and got this Moto G Power 5G 2024 for FREE. Best tech upgrade ever. Glad I lost it 😂.
@bgtechlife Thanks for getting back to me. I figured it out. It was my popl dot on the back of my phone case. It was too close to the nfc reader in the phone.
