I'm running max resolution on my 10 Pro
I think old age is catching up with me and my eyes are not as good as they used to be. I like the smaller 10 Pro, but I found myself squinting to read, especially just after waking up. I just switched it to max resolution and then upped the default zoom in Vivaldi to 110% and that works so much better.

I have to wear reading glasses now so I totally relate to this. I prefer the text on my phone on the larger size.
 
As someone here kindly helped me with my original purchase of the Pixel 10 Pro XL.

I would like to do the same for others.. I now have 10 x 15% off Pixel phone codes for the Google Store UK to pass on to you guys.

PM if interested.
You forgot to mention that you get £50 per code that gets used. 😉

I'm pretty confused in a sense, I got the 13r and honestly outside of the camera and the ugly ui and no call screen or hold for me it's pretty good. I rhi k how OnePlus make these tall yet narrow phones is easier to hold while providing a fairly big screen.

I have a Mac and some airpod pro and so apple wallet finders or whatever they're called but the iPhone experience is pretty lame and how they make their phones it's way too expensive. The air is 1000 bucks and that's only 6.5 and the regular is 6.3 and this 13r after discount is under 400 imao.
 
I use 5x5 on whatever launcher im using.
This is Pixel launcher and I'm just not a big fan of it. Don't like the Dot notifications w/ no numbers, don't like the very limited clock options that comes with the Pixel. They all kinda suck imo.
Can't change the clock color of this one either.
Don't mind the weather though.

So I like Microsoft and Nova launchers. The background is just a daily image It gives. Tomorrow will be a different one.
Any other Launchers that are good? Thinking of trying a new one.

I love Niagra. It is a different paradigm though and meant for a minimalist setup.

Try Smart Launcher 6. It is very good. Seems the most Nova-like.

Lawnchair 15 is free, but not on the Play store and takes a little extra work to get notification access and such because of that. It's a lot like Pixel launcher with a but more customization options. Slim, but free.

I have also heard good things about Octopi and Kvaesito, but haven't had time to give them a try.

I haven't ran a custom launcher in years, maybe on my 8 Pro but I recall there being some funkiness when using a launcher on a Pixel, like a minor lag going between apps, or from an app and back to the home screen. Like as if the animations weren't super smooth compared to stock.

I did like Lawnchair launcher for being most Pixel like but with the much needed customization.

And app icon changes. Dear Lord Google I wish they allowed custom app icons.
