And if you are a corporate puppet and scared to give real opinions you are worthless to many like myself. Sure the majority of people lap up the highly edited and polished videos but some want more and not easily distracted by these commercials basically

To get views you need to be first, and to be first you need pre release devices, so if you are going to slate a company's products then they won't send you review samples, so it's a self fulfilling prophecy.
That is why I don't care about any of these personalities, I read forums and users opinions. All the rest is useless fluff. Those people have no integrity, just about the dollar and view
I suspected as much. I didn't want to exaggerate the numbers because I didn't know. That's why I take all these YT influencers with a bag of salt. When that kind of money is on the line, they will say things to make their cash register say cha-ching.
This is from my Pixel 9a. Settings -> Battery Saver -> Adaptive Battery Enable or Disable". If it's enabled by default, it says "adaptive battery learns from your phone usage to continuously optimize how apps use battery. To extend battery, it may reduce performance and delay notifications".
Look in the battery usage section and it will list the top battery hogs. If you see FF or Amazon towards the top, that could be your clue as adaptive battery will throttle those apps. I can see FF needing battery because it uses a lot of hardware acceleration for smooth scrolling and performance.
I'm not using ff as my main browser and Amazon isn't anywhere near top of the battery usage. I think it's similar to the lag I had on my pixel 7 and 8s. It's like the GPU can't keep up with scrolling.
Good point and I agree.
They have to be more careful to protect their connections and contacts. Happens to individuals and companies, the bigger they get, the more cautious and slower they become.
I didn't mention that because I understand it, however, it does not change the fact that they have become spec sheet readers, and only occasionally offer a real opinion.
The solution is quite simple, just don't watch them.
My battery has been so good on the regular 10 Pro
Uninstalling and reinstalling Amazon and firefox seems to have fixed it
Well I got my Google case today. Wasn't supposed to be here originally til Sept 6th. Then said the 2nd ,....showed up today with no shipping updates lol.
So a week early, cool! And yes, being brand new it is a bit slippery as I think the other two were as well but they break in and get better grip. Seems just a tad brighter than the phone.

I quit watching most if not all of them. The only YT channel I watch because I learn stuff from, is Gamers Nexus and Steve Burke. He's in hot water with Bloomberg's attorneys because he did a 3.5hr expose on Nvidia's GPU black market corruption in China. Bloomberg had YT take down that video and give his channel a strike. Two more and his channel gets shutdown. His attorneys are fighting Bloomberg's attorneys.
Every other channel is basically noise trying to sell you something which then turns into an infomercial. I also have ad blockers on FF so I never see one of their advertisements or sponsors. Google must hate me. 🥳
Steve aka tech Jesus is the best no BS and transparent reviewer today.
He's an extremely rare breed
And unlike Marques, he is influential because he has Gamers Nexus buy prebuilts anonymously and reviews them, so he gets a system that the average consumer would get. Because of Gamers Nexus and Steve's negative reviews of the Alienware desktops, he influenced Dell to make serious changes for the better. He referred to Alienware in past reviews as Fail-ienware.
So what parts of his review did you disagree with? I watched and he had plenty of definitive opinions, some clearly not favorable.
Not disagreeing with the general assessment of many reviewers but I didn't read this review as a spec sheet listing.

Pixel 10 Pro XL Initial Review: 10 generations in, Google is still trying to get it right
Google Pixel hit the scene in 2016 and, ever since, Google has been trying to figure out how it wants...
9to5google.com
Anyone of the UK crowd have an unused code? Would swing it for me to move to Pixel from iPhone. Thank you in advance.Does anyone from the UK have an invitation email for the Google event where they have included a rebate code for £150? If you are not using it, I will happily and appreciatively take it off you. Please DM me. Don't post it here. Thanks.
Had to post this. Battery is good. I've got this before but activated my stepper apps.
One is the Samsung Health which does more but i only want it to count my steps and tell me how far I've walked.
The SS app ran the battery down doing many other things I don't need it to do so I deleted that one.
Not it's back to this.

Thanks again MarkX. You're a superstar.
Now the real dilemma Pro or XL!? I think 256GB Obsidian is the one though in either model. I think it should be sufficient for UFS4.0. The weight of the XL makes me a little nervous.
Also people with Tesla vehicles.. does the UWB phone key work as it should with the Pixels? I haven't had a Pixel since the OG.
The GPU needs fixing on the P10, playing the new destiny game (I know it's not a gaming phone), lots of visual glitching, blockiness, where as it's smooth on my P9P XL
Been seeing a lot of display issues on Reddit unfortunately 😕
Does anyone else from the UK have an invitation email that you wouldn’t mind Kindly sharing via PM please? I would really appreciate it. Many thanks.
