Soldato
Well it arrived on Monday, first thoughts were “this is huge” and “it’s heavy” – but it’s been quite a joy to use thus far, though I’m still getting to grips with the new features of Android 12 – the gestures are completely different to the ones I used on my S9+ so having to stop and think on occasion.
A couple of things that were a bit of a downer (for me) compared to my S9+ – the speakers seem quieter, though on the flip-side the sound quality is better. Secondly, the display isn’t as vibrant – both in terms of brightness and colour; side-by-side the Pixel seems to look dull and has a bit of a yellow tinge, I find I have to boost brightness up to 70% to match the S9+ at around 45%. Mind you, the battery life has been amazing!
Mind you, for £370 I’m not going to moan much Just have the hassle of dealing with Vodafone now, and getting them to cancel the new contract, so I can get a nice cheap SIM only again… it’s been a couple of hours trying to get this sorted now though!
Edit: AMAZING! So I can't cancel my new contract with vodafone and change ot SIM only, I only have the option of immediate disconnection, or getting a PAC code to go elsewhere.... all because I have paid off the handset! So I shall be leaving Vodafone after some 8 or 9 years with them, oh well, I get to go and find a new mobile supplier now I guess.
