Google Pixel 7/7 Pro & Pixel Watch

[kinger8938]

They do sound like the ones to go for. I'll see how I get on with the more basic one I have on route and if I think it needs more, I'll pick a set up!

Watches then! I don't like the look of the pixel watch at all .

I've never owned a smart watch but thinking about one now to go with this phone.

I quite like the look/price of the galaxy 4 classic 46mm. I can get it at JL with a discount to £195 which seems fair for a first time watch owner. No huge loss if it's not my cup of tea

Any thoughts on this combo?

I'd like to use it at work for controlling music etc, messages and so on.

The face / screen on the watch sure does scratch easily!! Mines only a few months old and already looks pretty beaten up.

Good deal here

Google Pixel 7 Pro 5G 128GB Smartphone + 105GB Vodafone Data (24m) £23pm + £174.99 Upfront Cost £726.99 @ Mobile Phones Direct | hotukdeals

www.hotukdeals.com

That deal should have expired the day it was posted. Nearly everyone got rejected, then it went out of stock, then deleted from the site.

In fact I'm not sure anyone was able to actually order it. It was at least £100 cheaper than the next best deal, which does raise an eyebrow. I'm thinking a marketing tactic.

That sucks.

Best stay away from these crooks from now on.

What annoyed me was the fact all the vodafone deals (the cheap ones) said out of stock for 2 weeks. Then the next day they were all magically back in stock at much higher prices.

Yeah dodgy for sure. I must admit I was tempted by that "deal" when I saw it. shady stuff

I think a good deal if you have a studentbeans voucher is through the BT shop, buying the phone outright on Paypals 0% 24 months offer. You get the pro for £648.

Sounds compelling! Not sure what a studentbeans voucher is? But I've unfortunately now purchased the handset at the regular price minus a trade in offer

Oh bugger, I can generate studentbeans codes if you needed one. I actually ordered one myself late lastnight, and to my surprise it came this morning at the crack of dawn.

Despite me buying stuff I don't need, I treated myself to a steamdeck at Christmas which got all of an hours use on boxing day . I'm selling it, and switching to a bigger phone and moonlight streaming. Whilst smaller phones are still my preference (which pretty much leaves me with just the smaller galaxy s22), my OCD hates anything other than the stock pixel android you get from google.

Surprisingly good, and plenty good enough for some bedtime gaming

That does sounds like a decent deal, would you be willing to generate a code for me?

Thank you

The normal please, I have been going back and forth on that. But I think the normal suits my needs.

[kinger8938]

Damn I definitely missed out there aye

Ahh we'll appreciate the offer anyway pal, great stuff!

Love the phone so far

Do wonder if I should have gone standard 7 as it is a bit of a handful but I'm adjusting

Many thanks, Pixel 7 ordered.

Did you choose the express delivery for it to arrive the following morning? I have gone with standard so expect early next week

Thanks again.

The camera on the 7 Pro is better than the 14 Pro and the latest Samsung S22 Ultra.

I had a watch through this yesterday and its quite clear to me why (I don't own any of them btw). The Samsung's photos in particular look pretty awful when compared side-by-side.

Anyone else have their phone refuse to connect to their car?

Myself and my other half have a Pro and standard 7 respectively. For both our cars after the Jan update the BT stopped connecting. My Pixel Buds and Garmin watch still connect fine. It's an issue that's made it into a few articles so hopefully the Feb patch resolves it but it's really very frustrating.

Saw this just now and remembered your post.

The company also mentions a fix for Bluetooth connections with "certain devices or accessories," which could help drivers who have been unable to pair their phones to their car's stereo system for the past month. That said, Google's language here is pretty vague, so make sure to test your connection once you've updated. Here's a complete changelog for what's included in this month's patch:

I've had a few weird quirks since with the car BT connection. Occasionally phone rings but either can't accept or it rings only once.

Audio streaming doesn't seemlessly resume where it last left off. In fact it refuses to do anything until I re open the music app on the phone.

Also noticed no difference with the Pixel Buds Pro, only in the car.
