Google Pixel 10 Series (10/10 Pro/10 Pro XL/10 Pro Fold & Pixel Watch 4)

I'm just about to pull the trigger, but debating over the standard or pro version.

Love the idea of a better camera and functionality as I do play around a bit, but is it worth the £200 more?!? Not sure.
 
I left mine sat on an old slow wireless charger yesterday evening and couldn't believe how hot it was when I picked it up almost fully charged

I've got a Pixelsnap charger coming Monday so will be interesting to see how it is with that, guess I also need to test without a case.
I found this on a reddit thread, just arrived, not sure I'd call it stylish, but very practical at least...

After 3 days my iCloud backup of photos and videos transferred over to my Google One service and is now available through Google Photos.

Pretty seamless and everything is organised by date still which is fantastic. One annoyance was random WhatsApp images finding their way to the top in no order really but a quick clean up and sorted.

As for the phone, early days but liking it so far. Enjoying the Pixel Watch 3 as well (got a good discount from my employer so £179) so doubt I'll go for the 4 now.

So £223 to spend on accessories etc, will keep an eye on this thread! Already have some Magsafe accessories from my iPhone I'm using.
 
DPD strikes again... although there is slight chance it's just their broken system.
Wasn't in for Thursday delivery so paid for an option with the app for Saturday VIP service...
Not they are saying parcel is on the way back to Currys... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

And their bot chat is useless... They have time until 6pm...
As this requires a PIN on collection I won't be able to receive it in the week...
UPDATE..

talked to IDmobile... new mobile will be sent out...

MMmm yeah I couldn't resist the PW4 as well, in 45mm, best chip on the market right now and that screen just looks so nice. You're going to see a nice big bump in battery life from your PW2 - but those metal link bands/straps from the google store, £200 wtf
Yer I thought that mate, I do between 20-35km hikes on the weekend so having a watch that can last is essential to me, I have to basically put PW2 on airplane mode to get the whole hike on the battery life in the PW to so I'm hoping PW4 is a lot better... to be honest a bit disappointed people keep saying I should get a Garmin, if this PW disappoints me I will have to succumb to pier pressure.... yer I did notice the price on the metal link straps, mental!
 
In the middle of a charge test using a Samsung PPS charger.

A steady 34W from 13 to 50%. This took 17mins. The phone got so hot in this time... it's now throttled right down to 9W.

A few mins later it's back up to 31W.

God only knows how it performs @45W.

They they asked me for a PIN - can they drop off to a local Currys or a trusted neighbour / parent.
 
They have never let me do that with other items like laptops., they are a nightmare to deal with.
I think as it's all going via ID not currys I have to wait for them to email me back... Guy raised a case although I only think it's a new mobile being sent out as he didn't confirm lol I will get a refund for Saturday delivery I've paid for...
 
Does anyone else find in photos, skin tones are overly airbrushed? Is this a feature? Is there a way to turn it off?

An annoying (sort of) related issue… upgrade an Apple Watch with EE on a cellular plan and the PIN code for delivery goes to the Apple Watch number (which can’t receive SMS) rather then the main paired phone number! They have to hack around in their ordering system to correct it. Two failed deliveries from DPD, with me brandishing my missus’ order on screen at the poor DPD driver, and the EE customer service rep saying they were sick of telling management this was a problem.

On topic: 10 Pro direct from Google comes tomorrow, after sending the SIM-free one from EE back. Got a couple of silicone wrapped cases arrived today that are way grippier than the official one, and ordered a Bellroy leather one with Google Store credit.
 
Do people feel the pro is worth the extra expense? What about 128 - 256gb storage? Upgrading from a pixel 8 (standard)

Was tempted by the 10 Pro but doesn’t look like a massive upgrade from the 9 Pro.

Was hoping to find some decent 2nd hand 9 Pros but seems everyone has traded them in rather then sale them privately as can’t seem to find them anywhere!
 
Go to Settings, Display and Touch, turn off Adaptive Tone

Should give a more natural colour balance


Thanks, the screen looks better all round, but my photos with lots of skin, still look like what you would see in a magazine. I.e. the hairs on my chest are smoothed out far too much.
