Took some photos at the Pearl Jam show last night. We were sitting 3 rows behind the 3rd base dugout, but still very far from the stage + behind all the GA and field seats. These are zoomed in using the telephoto lens, looks pretty great all things considered, no zoom enhance. I tried zoom enhance on another one that I deleted, it struggles with human faces from a distance and made Eddie look like he has no face 😂 actually creepy.

Tips for screen protector install if you are crazy like me:

Wear latex gloves
Wear a mask
Turn off HVAC
Keep everyone else out of the room
Bonus: turn on shower on high heat and steam up your bathroom a bit and do it in the bathroom
Haha I love it.. you should see me put on a screen protector so opposite of all of what you just posted. Hand sanitizer on my desk by the computer, phone on top of a orange microfiber cleaning cloth, One small alcohol pad that comes in the screen protector box, followed by wipe down screen to get off the moisture, thus removal sticker non-stop tapping screen, screen protector remove the bottom facing down not over the phone and then place on top of the phone and let it sit for the 30 seconds or so as I press the middle area.
Remove sticker and wipe down screen protector smooth out with clear no bubbles. That'll be $15 for the install please!

That's my Pixel 9 Pro XL boxed up and ready to return to Google tomorrow 😓.
ROLL ON PIXEL 9 PRO SMOL.

So impatient. Using my pixel 8 and it actually feels jittery something I never noticed before. It's much nicer in my smaller than average hands, though 😁.

Really good actually. Wasn't sure about it but it's very lightweight, thin and a slight grip, which I wasn't expecting from a clear case.
Awesome, I had ordered a black slim and got lost in transit so I'm debating what other case to add to rotation

I'm starting to think I should have got the Pro. 😅

My wife really likes this 9 so I said if she still likes it at Christmas I'll upgrade to a 9 Pro and she can have the 9 lol. She's currently using an S24.

Oh yeah rid her of that S24 and give both of you a treat! 😅.
I can't wait for the 9 Pro. The XL is amazing and when I use it indoors with no case I don't mind the size. It's as soon as I'm out and about or in work with the case on and it's just hard to use one handed.
Glad I stuck with Rose too although the more I see of porcelain then more I like it!

I will most likely do exactly that lol, get myself the 9 Pro, give wife the 9 then sell our Samsung's to pay the difference.

What I love about porcelain is that it blends with everything. It's a neutral color so it's not a loud color, one would tire of quickly. I do love the Mint Green on both the 8P and 9P but I could see myself getting tired of them after awhile. The same with Bay for the 8P and blue just so happens to be my favorite color, even more so, sky blue (Bay).

After hearing battery life is better, I would be tempted to try the Pixel 9 Pro XL IF Google would let me trade in my S24 Ultra (For some reason in the UK we can only trade in the S23 Ultra).

From what I've seen so far the Pixel 9 lineup has better battery life, the Tensor runs cooler and the camera is improved. Sounds like Google is hot on the heels of Apple (when it comes to hardware at least).

I think the only option to trade in the S24 Ultra is for the 9 Pro Fold, no idea why.

Yea I just saw that, it give £558 trade in towards the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. I might wait until part way through the year when they introduce a new colour option and see what deals they have on.

I can't justify having a S24 Ultra, iPhone 15 Pro Max AND a Pixel 9 Pro XL :oops:. My friends and family will start thinking i'm a drug dealer or something 😂

Same. This is why I sold my 15PM and AWU2 and bought the S24U and Galaxy Watch Ultra...

I'm now going to sell my S24U and pair the GWU with my 9 Pro Fold when it lands and I'll sell my Pixel Fold after that...

Just paired the GWU with my Pixel Fold this morning and it's been seamless. Works as it should and does all I need of it...

Will get the S24U on ebay as soon as the next 80% of selling fees offer comes live

Actually seemed very lucid? I last saw them in 2018 and didn't think he was drunk, but what do I know 😂
Maybe it's a UK thing. First time I saw em he was swigging from a bottle of red wine. Last time I saw em he was drunkenly rambling...

Bellroy case is VERY thick, not sure I like it. It makes the bezels seem 4x the size they actually are lol.


This case is very nice. I bought on a whim and it's just my fav now, thin and comfortable. Plus lots of colors to choose from.
