Still loving how Android 12 and Material You can COMPLETELY change the vibe up.

Totally, not the software or UI, no way. I mean the physical device itself, with the tall more rectangle shape, not rounded like past Pixel's, the curved edge display. It feels like a premium Samsung Galaxy phone running stock Android, I've heard a lot of people say that as well.

Where the regular Pixel 6 seemed more Google-ish design.

I was joking, hence the wink emoji. You've mentioned it like 10 times this past week, lol.

Well, here's some pics:

Some came out better than others. The last one is with the erasure tool. I need to work on it...

Did anyone find the pixel launcher slow compared to others like Nova or Hyperion? I follow Aneres' setup and the touch and move are too swift and felt like I can't control

Now missus is jumping onto my P6P for her Korean drama movies and pass me to use her 13P max. I felt helpless and can't use hers. Felt too slow. Hopeless and doing house chores at middle of the night to occupy meself ၊

I quite like these Pixel Buds A.
I like that it adjusts the volume based on what's happening around you. I was hoovering earlier and the sound increased automatically. Small little touches and all that!
I like the buds more for calls than anything else but I'm still testing them a little bit. A few times I was on a call Wi-Fi calling and when I walked outside the other side of the call started sounding like it was a fax machine or something robotic. I don't know if it's the buds but I've never had the issue with other buds or my other phone so I'm still testing to see what is what.. on one of the times that happened, I disconnected the buds and the phone call sounded back to normal so has me thinking it's the buds. We'll see. I'm going to keep testing

@Bkdodger - is that your fave now? Hows the grippiness for the back? I need a case that doesn't feel slippery on the back. I like a good grip.
I like the feel of the sides. Grip wise. Clear back is not the grippiest. It's not bad but it's not as good if it was solid... Spigen Thin Fit is my fav though it doesn't stand out ...

I ordered (and it's on the way) a spigen liquid air to test out. Had I done that originally, I wouldn't have a broken nose today LOL.

Am I only able to purchase Preferred Care if I bought my Pixel from the Google Store? I purchased mine from Amazon and my Google account won't allow me to purchase Preferred Care; the page just says "It's looking empty here" when I try and purchase it.

I believe it's only a Google store purchase .. Amazon I believe has insurance through Asurion ..I've never looked into it though
 
Some observations here this evening.

- Pixel 3 display goes much farther to the edge than does the 6. ( Sides not top )

- haptics are an order of magnitude better on the 3.

Dang I wish this phone still got updates, but I am still super happy with my 6 parked next to me.

The 6 is my favorite phone since the XS Max iPhone I pre-ordered. While the 13 is a close 2nd favorite iPhone ever, it is a 1/2 step behind the pixel 6.
 
Yikes. No more parking lot fights with semi-invisible foes @samcraig 😂

And here I thought you would have appreciated this post from yesterday given your love of photography. It might have gotten lost in the shuffle

Oh geez! Sorry I did miss that, it's a popular and fast moving thread!

Hopefully the sacrifice wasn't without some benefit from the trip! If if means anything, I fell up some generator stairs the other day, bruised my shin really good! Didn't know I could defy physics and fall upwards until I was clenching my leg in pain 😟
