Does anyone know if Google discount accessories during sales? Looking at some watch bands but there is a sale in 5 days apparently

Purchased the regular 10! It is so silky and smooth. But, the screen is too small, so I might get the Pro XL instead.

Also, my At a Glance weather disappeared and I can't get it back. :(

I missed having a Pixel. 😭

I was a lifelong XL large size Pixel guy, then for the first time I really wanted to go smaller for once, wanted a more one hand friendly easier to hold phone, so I got the 10 Pro.

I loved the smaller form factor immediately, it was great.

But ...one week later it hit me, I couldn't get used to the smaller size, I was double guessing my choice and missed the larger XL size, but wasn't sure if I should change as I thought I really wanted a smaller phone for my first time in years.

I said F it, and exchanged my 10 Pro for the 10 Pro XL, and overall I'm happy I did. The smaller phone just felt odd and things didn't look the same on it as compared to the XL.
 
I went from S24 Ultra to smaller 10 Pro and I really do prefer it 😆

I think the sweets spot would be an in-between size though
The XL is too big for my taste. The P10 is 6.3 which is the biggest I've had and appreciate they haven't made that bigger. The P10 is slightly taller & wider than my P8 was so it's a good size.

It's like my tablet. It's 12.4 " and it's too big as well. I don't attach a keyboard to it or Dex. Just use it like a tablet and it's awkward to handle.

Next time I'll get an 11"

I have a referral for 15% off (up to 10 users) Pixel phones if anyone wants one. Not sure if it’s UK only.

Found this phone box in my collection of Pixel boxes over the years.

This was such a classic at the time. Peak early Pixel

Has anyone had issues with wireless charging? I can’t charge my pixel in my partner’s vw Tiguan but my iPhone 17 pro max works fine. The charger throws up a qi error
 
I have a few 15% off codes left for the Pixel phones from the Google Store if anyone needs. Feel free to send me a PM if anyone needs one.

Has anyone found any decent, slim-profile cases for the 10 Pro XL in the UK? I've seen cases from Pitaka, Mous, Benks but I don't feel comfortable spending £40+ for a phone case.

I got the ringke onyx (£17.99 amazon) and I really like it. Not bulky, it's textured so grippy too, I've got a few of the same brand for other phones.
 

Not sure what's going on. The terms says I can send to someone else to use on their account. Sorry about that. Will investigate.

I’m having an issue with the codes not working, I’ve tried the codes sent to me from you guys and i get this same message every time.

It seems like it’s trying to say that i can’t use it because I’ve generated the code but obviously I haven’t since the codes have come from others. It’s weird.

Hi Dave,

I've just sent you a code from my account if you want to try it.

Looks to be 15% off and I get a £50 credit in return.
 
Hi! Does anyone here have a zfold 7 too? I am thinking about changing my Fold to the Pixel 10 Pro XL. How does the battery life compare?

That's a complicated one since you have two screens vs one and everyone's usage with the Fold is a bit different. Despite 800 mAh more battery on the XL, it is still not a super-efficient chipset. If you game, the Z Fold 7 is much better for battery life. If you are mostly doing a mix of web and video, the results are much closer. Here's GSMarena's testing:

Also keep in mind that the QPR2 beta that will be General Release in December is targeting some performance issues and might improve battery dramatically.

I have the smaller 10 Pro and only need about 4-5 hrs SoT most days, so it is fine for my needs.
 
I'm really loving the Pixel 10. It's so buttery smooth. The only two issues I've been having is the weather not showing up in the At a Glance widget and delayed notifications (many rush in as soon as I unlock the device; I don't even know why Google still allows Doze to do this).

Otherwise, I have been very happy. But, the phone is just too dang small. I cannot get used to it at all. I will be paying the restock fee and getting the Pro XL instead this week.

Yes I find it tough to go back to 6.1"-6.3" phones once you've gotten used to Plus, Pro Max, XL, Ultra sized screens. Despite the better pocketability and ease of handling of phones that size, for me the real estate on the big phones always wins out.
