Google Pixel 8 users are reporting poor battery life on mobile data
  • I thought I'm worse off with my 5 year old Poco F1 which only has a half-day battery and I average a 3 hour SOT each charge session. I am quite surprised that the battery is worse as I expected the Tensor G2 to be more efficient than the SDM845.

    15 years of Android memories – When did you get your first Android phone?
  • Galaxy Ace in 2017. It could, very well, do absolutely nothing at that time ever since the Android Market and GMS for Gingerbread were shut off and all the apks I can sideload are discontinued and outdated versions, some of which absolutely not working.

    Google Pixel 8 review - GSMArena
  • Although I love the Pixel 8's OS and design and want to love it Unfortunately $699 for midrange performance aint worth the money for me. I can find a used S23 for $650 with better value hardware-wise but the thing stopping me is OneUI and bloat.

    Is there an Android phone with 3.5 mm audio jack, removable battery, SD slot and popup camera?
  • Just embrace the external DACs. It allows you to upgrade your audio experience anytime, unlike with the jack where the DAC in your phone may be pretty eh at times

    I have been using the Apple USB-C DAC ever since both my Poco F1's and my Ideapad's jack died, and enjoyed the significant upgrade the DAC brought to the sound quality.

  • Oppo Reno 2. Has everything you asked except for the removable battery. My aunt's been using for 4 years and the cameras are really good. Cons are: EOL, it's pretty old and has ColorOS if you do mind.

    Motorola just launched a new Android phone to take on the Pixel 8
  • Grow up bro. You can't store apps on SD cards anyways, get an external SSD for photos. Headphone jacks usually sounds worse than most external USB dongle DACs anyways.

    Fairphone 5 review
  • Just get an external DAC bruh. If your DAC lasts long enough, it is not unsustainable. Also at most times, a DAC sounds better than the jack itself.

    What's your view on Nothing?
  • I think of them as "design" company, although they are really an aesthetics company. They simply make bog-standard devices with outstanding aesthetics and "features" and custom icon/widget packs for the Pixel Launcher that ships with the phone, for people that want something "different". I have always contemplated the innovative-ness of the glyph system and if it even makes the phone experience any better.

    Xiaomi matches Samsung’s industry-leading Android updates policy
  • To addon, it straight up refuses to work on AMD PCs, so I had to painstakingly borrow an Intel machine to completely free my Poco F1 from the shackles of Xiaomi.
