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

Looks as though you've got to take a contract with them though, wife wants to buy phone outright & go sim only.
you can cancel the contract as soon as you get the phone, so you only pay 1 month's contract (select monthly rolling)

Back in stock again as I have just ordered one ... only had to pay for the handset as I have an existing but lapsed giffgaff account, so I had to pay £250 for the handset. Must stop buying phones lol
 
Anyone with a Pixel 10 pro (or any of the other models) have an issue with a small section of the screen seemingly bugging out? Like a small rectangle that is constantly flickering?

March update had a little of that. The odd hard reset required, but been fine on April and May releases. Was absolutely fine before March release though.
 
quick question to the £250 Pixel 10a offer people.

I'm in UK for 6 more days before returning to Spain. Price is too good to ignore, will it really be next day delivery? Even when I lived here over 10 years ago I never used giffgaff so have no idea about their reliability, delivery partners etc etc.

*Next working day applies to mainland UK. Other areas such as Northern Ireland can take up to 4 working days for delivery.
Based on my experience, yes! I ordered just before midnight and it arrived the very next day via DPD.

Thanks, I took the punt about an hour ago. Even if it arrives Tuesday/Wednesday that's fine.

I suspect I will fall foul of their "we only deliver phones to teh billing address of the payment card" as I paid with an international card registered in Spain, but fingers crossed it goes through, and they don't check the card addresses!

They shipped the phone, so I guess the card billing address being wrong doesn't matter :)

Anyway, this seems like an amazing offer, they still have the Black/Obsidian in stock and the offer ends this Saturday (6th June).

GiffGaff now doing an offer on the Pixel 10 Pro. £570 all in including a £10 rolling sim that you can cancel the day you get the phone.

Really quite tempted!
 
Downloading it now, 1.54gb for the 10 Pro. Will see how it goes.

Edit: Installed. Immediately noticed a new app in the app drawer, Pixel Buds. Uninstalled since I don't use them.

Mobile data and WiFi quick toggles are split again.

Edit 2: Poweramp was stuttering for some reason with my XM5 using LDAC BT. Other apps were fine. Noticed on the Google Pixel subreddit apparently LDAC support has improved, then noticed my output settings in Poweramp was set to AudioTrack Output instead of Hi-Res, I must've forgot to check when I swapped over from the P9. Changed it and stuttering is gone.

Edit 3: I'm a little confused with the new mobile data/WiFi quick toggles. When using them expanded, when you tap in the text area of the toggle, both bring up the same pop-up. I also just noticed tapping on the WiFi icon doesn't actually turn it off, but just disconnects you from the network you're connected to for a short time.

In light of all the recent crap the government are trying to pull, I was looking into LineageOS and GrapheneOS, but my relatively new Poco F8 Pro isn't supported by either OS.

Having gone down the Graphene rabbit hole, a Pixel is the most logical choice, but when side-by-siding the 10/10 Pro and my F8 Pro, it suggests a big hit in performance, seemingly half my F8 Pro due to Pixel's own chipset/gpu, plus around -33% battery life.

I am tempted by the £500 Pixel 10 256GB, and unsure if the Pro features are worth +£60 AND losing 128GB of storage.

Can anyone give any real-world experiences having used a higher-end snapdragon phone and then moving to an equivalent gen Pixel?
