Sweet Cheezewhiz is this man trying to give me a seizure? What is with that obnoxious flashy background. I couldn’t watch the video after a certain point because I have a considerable amount of driving to do and can’t afford to be nursing a migraine or recovering from a seizure. I’m so sick of these video reporters thinking they have to apply crazy Vegas Casino blindly graphics to sell their content.

Grumble grumble grumble. Get off my lawn you stupid kids!

So help a grouchy old lady out…what did he say the zoom range was on this thing?

I’m going to try again later when my brain recovers. I’ll zoom so it fills my display past where you can see the blinking.

Zoom will be 4x optical on pro

Portrait mode it seems can be shot in 1x and 2.8x. Video can record 4x zoom as well. No clue on digital zoom

Most people were saying today, Oct. 4th would be the official stable release of Android 12.0. But that got pushed back awhile now;

Google releases Android 12 to AOSP, but no Pixel launch today

In a significant departure from previous years, Google today rolled out Android 12 to AOSP but did not launch on Pixel phones...

Man I saw that and hit system update on my P4a 5G and I got my hopes up when I saw preparing system update on the screen. It was a 8MB security update..boo hoo. 😂

I agree, the S21 Ultra is probably my favorite of any phone build. The ZF 3 is probably my favorite device due to its versatility, but it's definitely a cumbersome device to use at times.

I ended up caving and picking up a 13 PM at the end of last week. Really enjoying it even though I don't care for ios. The camera is fantastic. The more I see of the P6 Pro though, I'm going to get it. Will have to decide whether to return or sell the 13 PM or sell the S21 Ultra.

Selling the s21 ultra was a hard decision for me as I loved the phone but I wanted to try the pixel so did so to wait for the new pixel 6 pro.

I hope Google is actually on point with stock on this one. Because they have a history of shorting the pre-order stock a ton and I'm gonna be pissed if I pre-order day 1 and get a shipping date a month later.

Not as if they haven't had long enough to get stock sorted. But I personally think they will end up having shortages.

Easy to say they've had plenty of time to stock up. Everyone knows there's worldwide shortages of core components and delays. Easier said than done.

Exactly. “Everyone knows“. So hopefully they’ve taken necessary steps to minimise impact. Given how long they’ve promoted it before announcing it…

I'm sure it will be the usual.. Order early good shipping date... Dates slips as orders go in... Color combos sell out then sell out... Lol

Apple also knew and still there aren’t enough iPhones for everyone. Granted, iPhones have more demand, but this will likely happen to all major manufacturers.

I’m excited about the new pixel, first phone I have looked forward to in awhile but I know I won’t buy it new. I am wondering though how much better can the camera really get? My Pixel 3 was already really good and is still competitive with the newer phones.
 
Looking forward to hearing the news and making a decision on what will be the replacement for my Pixel 3.

Been running 12 Beta on my Pixel 3, and saddened that Google only provides updates on my 3 until the end of this month! COME ON GOOGLE! :mad::mad::mad: Such a waste, such a cause of unnecessary E-Waste, and a sad end of support for what has been a great device for me.

My iPhone 7 from 2 years earlier STILL gets updates, and likely will see the next 1 or 2 rounds of iOS updates at a Minimum.

Kinda have my eye on Fairphone but not sure how long it will have Android support.
