ample space (256 GB for same price as 128 when I bought it)
My music collection by itself is larger than that. Then on top of it I have game roms, movies, and books.
I use Bluetooth…
Even with my expensive earbuds BT is janky and there’s always a delay with every one I’ve tried.
great battery that lasts 2 full days and more, and can be changed by taking it to a shop when old, np.
You shouldn’t have to take your phone to a shop to repair it. I can change the battery in my phone myself in 30 seconds. No tools or risk of breaking it. There’s a button that pops the back cover off.
you… need your phone to sit flat? With the standard case it’s pretty dang flat anyway.
Yes, if I have to set it down somewhere precarious the less it can move on it’s own the better.

Yep, if you treat your phone like a laptop or hard drive, then you definitely need a phone with an SD card. No argument there.

I don’t experience “jank” of any kind, but delay, yes indeed. If you are doing time-sensitive audio tasks/gaming, then definitely choose a phone with an audio jack.

It won’t be as easy as that, but with new Pixel phones, there are official instructions on how to do this yourself now (I believe, some partnership with iFixit?). It requires some work, but swapping batteries doesn’t really need to be a 30-second maneuver for me either. It is done so rarely (years), so if it takes me an hour, I’m fine with that.

👍 I never take the risk of placing my phone anywhere precarious, but obviously if you are in the demographic where you have to do so (maybe in your line of work, or through your hobbies), you should probably buy a case that alters the shape of your phone significantly anyway. So I don’t see an issue here either. I just have the standard case from Google that fits the Pixel 9 and my phone is basically flat in the back.
Well, granted, if I didn’t need to I wouldn’t. I don’t need to do so each night either, maybe every other night, but it still doesn’t reach even 30% in two days.
It all depends on what you need. It’s not at all terrible if you have plenty of opportunity to charge. I charge every day, once a day, and I’m never below like 60%. Sometimes I choose not to charge for a day, and the next evening it’s at like 40% or so.
Very comfortable battery capacity. And the battery life is also great. My last phone, which was a Pixel 6, was also like this. I rarely ever went even close to the bottom half percentages on my phone, with plenty of screen hours each day. And it was like this all up until I switched phones. Barely any degradation noticed.
My Pixel 6 I still keep around with battery saver on, and I charge it once a week.
Maybe you shouldn’t listen to what you hear, sometimes. 👍
Alright bro. Buy whatever you want to buy. 😂 Nobody’s forcing you to change your opinion of anything. I’m just giving you my experience and perspective. 👍
I don’t have a suggestion unfortunately. I’m still running an LG V20 because I prioritize hardware features and nothing since I started looking to replace that phone has all the options I want.
-no SD slot
-no headphone jack
-no swappable battery
-camera juts off the back so it doesn’t even sit flat
But hey, you can take your temperature by pointing the camera at your forehead!
My experience with a Pixel 9 Pro, this is.

Wow 2 full days. My Oukitel does 3 weeks.
Wow, my Nokia 3310 does 30 days. What’s your point? 2 full days is way more than I need it to do. I can charge whenever. 🤷♂️
You present it like it’s a good thing.
Those battery lives are absolutely terrible.
I’ve also heard it’s more like 1 day if you actually use it.
Who doesn’t charge their phone when they sleep at night?
Well, granted, if I didn’t need to I wouldn’t. I don’t need to do so each night either, maybe every other night, but it still doesn’t reach even 30% in two days.
Nah, it’s two days and more with plenty of use.

Exactly what I’m doing right now. 👍

Yes and i give my experience. 😂😂😂😂
What’s your Graphene compatible alternative? I might need a new phone this year.
