Google Pixel 8/8 Pro & Pixel Watch 2

Who’s going to sell me their new Charcoal Pixel Buds Pro next week? Lol

me. i don't see the point in them, and if they are the type that squidge into your ear, then i don't like that any way.

i also got the bose ones from the p5 preorder so have very good headphones for plane journeys that i will never have a need for these.

Ok well give me a shout next week then mate if you do.

After seeing these in the flesh tonight, I've decided to cancel my P8 order. I'm going to go for the Pro but not at the inflated price to cover the "free" watch. Hopefully there will be some decent Black Friday deals else I'll wait 6 months or so.

Whereabouts did you see them?

My orders have moved to preparing for dispatch.

Do you think there is anything to everyone being on embargo in regards to the screen and not being able to do anything with the phones? Was watching a video earlier and normally stuff like that means there could be issues with the device. Like if you’re confident that nothing is wrong then why the restrictions…

I’m both excited and nervous so probably reading too much into it at this point.

Hey not by choice I'll add, would love to get on with ProMotion but I can't. Been running my Pixel 5 in 60hz and it's fine, get more battery too as a bonus.

Wait are you getting another iPhone…?

Mate I think we need to hold an intervention for you..

Reddit already loosing its mind over the poor CPU performance of the G3.

Maybe this is why people buy iPhones-so they never have to read stuff like that. Lol

Awful.

These new watch faces look great.

£17.99

I’m a stickler for official stuff like cases and chargers unfortunately! Lol

iPhone 12.

I agreed with the quality was subpar. The person we knew on holiday uses as S23. The quality seemed really low for such a high quality phone.

I've also uploaded videos on my pixel 6 pro and when viewing it on Instagram just seemed crap.

Then get the iPhone my man-it’s a great phone.

Exactly what I'm waiting for. Most interested in battery life.

Perfectly acceptable to get an informed opinion but you’re not really going to get your answer from a YT video because their usage could be way different than your own.

It’s why I went and pre-ordered-I need to know for myself if I’m going to get along with it. And if I don’t then it gets returned and I move on.

Had an order pop up in the DPD app-could be the phone/watch, could be the case, could be both in one…

Tension builds…

Was this one I think.

Received my Phone/Watch dispatch email!

 

[BMox81]

Where you guys ordered from? Nothing for me boo

Google Store.

 

[BMox81]

So with the 8/8 Pro now able to use face unlock with banking apps, do the banks themselves have to opt in for it to be used or will it let me use it as default?

 

[BMox81]

As long as the app is using the up to date Android biometrics framework then it'll just work AFAIK.

Oh. Well knowing Barclays that will be a no then. Lol

Tescos have the official 30w charger plus cable for £19 as a clubcard offer.

I ordered mine on the 5th, early hours I might add. And got a despatch email earlier today from Google with a DPD tracking number. Not sure if that means tomorrow or Thursday as planned.

I’ve seen no movement in my orders today so probably a Thursday delivery.
