I am not rich. The pure Android experience is just nice, can't get elsewhere already. OnePlus used to be good one, until they changed from OxygenOS to ColorOS. Now we have Nothing, which is great and have affordable models, but who knows.. might become ColorOS in the future. Hopefully they stay to clean or almost pure Android experience, and at the same time providing essential features like native app lock, dual app.. which Pixel lacks.

It's the chip, 5k for exynos.. must think twice, still can also maybe since this 4th gen, but better check reviews first. They very smart, didn't mention samsung in the even earlier.

P10 will be TSMC, but still made by Google, and how do Google perform on their first attempt on things?

It is not the same for everyone.

If you like features and more value, it is xiaomi.

If you like features and willing to put more money, samsung.

If you just want pure Android, then it is Pixel. AI wise every other brand gonna catch up anyway.

Vivo is the kind of thing to buy if you don't care about specs or just need a device for old parents.

Yes Pro just not available yet, don't know why people concluding Malaysia don't get Pro.

1/2 half of 2024 already, don't bother p7 or p8 unless budget is low, or only as 2nd phone. Both of it has battery issues, since it's from exynos.

Yeah p10 will use tsmc instead of samsung, no guarantee with battery performance but you can see difference between current samsung/tsmc manufactured chips. TSMC generally less heat than Samsung when you run task that needs power.

Actually, those who wants TSMC, p11 might be better.. because p10 is first time fully custom right? Can Google get it right the 1st time? There's no certainty. It is TSMC but still designed by Google. Still 50/50.

If difference and lower spec, we should get it cheaper! Hopefully we are not getting scammed lol

As long not telco set, should be able to unlock

If want to unlock, why even pixel in the first place?

Better just get xiaomi.. cheaper, better spec, and you can flash Lineage since you're about to unlock bootloader.

I think you can get xiaomi, unlock bootloader and isntall a port in gcam, and it should improve the camera?

Yes, pixel is best camera.. and most custom ROM also sort of stock Android, which Pixel already is, stock out of the box.

So why want to unlock bootloader?

Yes, if this g4 has no battery issues like it's previous models, can get it.. but we don't know yet, have to wait for reviews.

Sony so expensive, definitely no.

If it can't compete against gen 4, ok lah not big deal.. but by now it should be able to win if compete with gen 2 and also better thermal than tensor3

I think we have to wait for early users to post feedbacks..

Yes I notice cases for p9 doesn't cover the camera visor. Really hate that.

That's not good, been using imak for previous phones for years. 2nd choice after Nillkin.

If I get the phone, I'll probably go with nillkin. Hope it don't disappoint.

Nillkin is good. Been also using them for years. During early days when they're new, they were cheaper.

Have you tried Nillkin before?

I also wanna know why ugreen bad, I have been using ugreen for years.

From cables, chargers, powerbank..

Only one cable seem spoiled though.

Welcome to Pixel

Hows thermal? Hows reception? Hows battery? Hows SOT?

That is all you need to review, nothing else needed

Welcome to Tensor technology

Anyway, yours is the regular or XL?

XL has improved thermal.

Hot day environment.. well, even tsmc can get a little hot.

Those Pixel fans defends the tensor by saying "this is AI, not performance. google also said already. how many times must repeat, why still complain?"

Well if it is only AI, and not performance, and bad battery life, why sell at high performance price?

iPhone also gonna have Apple Intelligence.

So iPhone is close to Pixel price, has both AI and also performance. Pixel still stuck at AI, with premium price.

If Exynos tensor also they wanna sell price as close to iPhone, next year TSMC price gonna be above iPhone? Are they really that premium?

Cost saving but look at the price they decided to sell lol

Yes, that should be the cause in g3.

g4 suppose to fix it.

Looks like something that Celcom can fix but they just don't want to. I also using Celcom but don't have the device yet

I can't use any other telco.. Celcom is the best at my working place

I thought SIRIM pass (2024 devices) means voWIFI also supported, looks like I'm wrong.

ROG: just for gaming, not AI so yeah cheaper

Pixel: if we pay premium, we should get both AI and gaming.

Upcoming iPhone gonna be like.. almost same price with both AI + performance.

Meanwhile, tensor.. "it's AI, not performance."

Yeah.. phone 2 camera is horrible, especially if zoom right. Everything else with that phone is just nice! It's the camera that's annoying, and for being flagship, it should provide a good camera. I think the hardware is there, but they couldn't optimize the software.

So which one you gonna use? P9? Or back to Phone 2?

Pixel update install has always been slow. I'm not tech person but after some reading I've made it has something to do with partition things. This is not new but it's strange Google still didn't do something about it until now.

Thank you for the review.
