I'm OCD. Scratches on my screen bother me. Scratched up frame on my 9PXL after I dropped it without case bothered me enough I bought another one 🤦‍♂️ But that stuff is just straight up weird. Like some kind of crazy obsession.

I’m the same way very OCD, but sometimes some peeps just got some issues. At least we’re missing on all the defective phones and the odds for us getting one decrease with each of his purchases🤪

not really. Did you see one of my post? one guy went through 10+
Looks like OCD to me in the attached posts lol.
I'm a 3 strikes and your out kind of guy. If I have to return something three times in a row, I'm done with it, but I never have, once is all I've had to do that on anything.
Why bother to keep taking it back ....8 freaking times!
So glad I'm not OCD. Makes life simpler.

Long time ago in here a poster kept taking his phone back because he said the buttons weren't flush enough or they moved too much 🤦

Some recent P9 Pro snaps.
Dog walks, a quick work trip to London (man I hate cities!), and random Porsche that just appeared at work outside the office one day 😅.

Love how easy it is to transfer watch between phones now. Not sure if this is specific to Samsung or when it was implemented, but previously you had to fully reset the watch before moving to another phone. Now you just go to "transfer watch to another phone", connect through the galaxy wearable app, and you are up and running. Really don't miss a thing using it with my Pixels other than the ECG app which I very rarely use anyhow.
First day was pretty much a good day I had a small couple of hiccups but I think I resolve one with getting my notifications. I was doing a stair climber workout and it paused on me without me hitting the button so I will have to keep an eye on it the next workout to see if it was just a one-off. I did not charge last night and I'm sitting at 57% battery.

My Xiaomi 14 had dust in one of the lenses. I smacked it a few times different ways on a thick carpeted floor, voila, no more dust. Does the brute force method typically work with most phones? If I encounter this issue again I will try this method again before returning the phone 😂.

that green looks really sharp!
Thank you. Very comfortable band. It's funny how Samsung has the watch and the bands the same as my Apple. I feel like I have Android version of both. My Galaxy buds 3 Pro are also AirPod Pros look-alikes well they look better actually but you know what I mean lol.. and my P9PXL is an iPhone lol..

I know what ya mean. I always ended up going back to Apple bc of the watch and airpods and iPhone hardware always just looked and felt better but for the first time in forever I have just completely lost interest in the iPhone/Watch, etc. Not that they are bad, I've just always loved Android and the hardware experience is now right there with Apple. Hope the apps get as polished as they are on iOS at some point.

Oooo. Not sure if UK only, but Mous have a big sale on loads of their stock currently. Massive reductions in prices on a number of cases etc. Some down from £60 to like £18!
Might buy two cases. One for my 16 and one for 9 Pro.

Those with pixel fold still liking it? Tempted to get one again even though I did pre order it then cancelled for 9 pro XL

Maybe I just have too many slab phones and find foldables more exciting

I love it. I think the 9 Pro XL is the overall better device but I always use the P9PF because I just prefer the versatility of a foldable. Running the P9PF on my personal line right now and the ZF6 on my business.

I returned my Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It's a cool device, but I felt like I was making too many compromises, ESPECIALLY at that price point. Knowing I was settling for a camera that was less than what is in the 9 Pro XL, didn't sit well with me, and also I didn't care for the asymmetrical (and thick) bezel when closed. I may have been willing to settle on those things, had the battery life been good, but it wasn't. I was VERY unimpressed by the battery life. Even with moderate use, I found myself with 35% left in the middle of the afternoon. Coming from the S24U I didn't have to worry about my battery, and I wasn't wiling to go back to worrying about my battery because I'm using the 9 Pro Fold. That was a compromise I simply wasn't willing to make. For basically $2k, I feel like I shouldn't have to compromise at all, and I definitely won't compromise on the battery life. Now I'm on the 9 Pro XL, and I love it.

Got around to setting up the Pixel Buds Pro 2 yesterday. They are surprisingly good. Great sound. Much fuller and a bit louder than the first ones. Hooked them up to my Galaxy Watch Ultra and went for a run this morning and worked great. Decided that I can't take that $400 Google store credit I have laying around with me when I die so also ordered a Pixel Watch 3 🤦‍♂️. Looks like I'm back to being all in on the Pixel ecosystem. Except those tablets, no thanks.
