Google hardware event - Pixel 4, new Pixel Buds & more

[GoldenGlove]

I can tell MKBHD is not going to have a favorable review for these phones.

If you can do without the camera on the Pixel, I'd take a hard look at the OnePlus devices. They're cheaper and have better specs.

Most impressions on the Pixel 4 have been passive despite the battery life and RAM.

Removing unlimited google photo storage
Not writing a blank check to ensure the wide angle features that people wanted to compete w/ other top cameras
And not having the Matte finish on the black version

^ These are head scratchers.

I am a pixel head. Once I got that Pixel 1, I bought into the ecosystem and didn't move from that phone until I got the Pixel 3. I am very disappointed in this.

I have a crack in my Pixel 3 currently...I hate being a person that continues with a cracked screen; snobby, I know. I was really looking to possibly get this...

I'm just going to contact Asurion and use that insurance on a new Pixel 3.













That being said...I'm REALLY, REALLY tempted to jump onto that Note 10, though.

Same I was waiting for this phone, but maybe a used S10 plus looks like the best value for android market

I'm waiting for the 3A to get cheaper.

They had it at 21% off (£316) on Google's recent 21st birthday but I hesitated and didn't jump on it, I'm hoping they discount it again soon.
Do Google usually run Black Friday deals on their devices?

That face unlock is what I need I wear heavy duty gloves at work and it makes it a bytch to unlock my phone.

No clue.

7T
6.5 1080p screen
Dolby surround sound
128GB base storage, 256GB max
6GB RAM, 8GB max
3800 battery
Fingerprint scanner in display
30 watt fast charging
Worse camera

Pixel 4
5.7 1080p / 6.3 QHD screen
Standard stereo
64GB base storage, 128GB max
6GB RAM
2800 battery / 3700 battery for 6.3
Face scanner
18 watt fast charging
Better camera
Dust/water resistant
Wireless charging

7T should have better battery on top of faster charges with 30 watt charging. Cheapest model has same storage as Pixel's most expensive, most expensive 7T has double the storage and more RAM. Better speakers. No wireless charging or water resistance. Camera won't be close.

6.3 Pixel 4 will have better but smaller screen. Better assistant, wireless charge compatible, fast face scanner, water resistance, much better camera. Slower charge speeds, worse battery life.

Up to you how much the $400 difference for the 6.3 is worth over the 7T, don't buy the smaller Pixel.

Missed it too, they usually do.

If you have a Pixel 3 already keep that.

If you have a 1 or 2 upgrade.

That's the overall feeling I'm getting from first looks.

Like I said earlier love my 3 and alot of the upgrades are coming my way as well.

The new Google Assistant on the 4 is insane with the multitasking ability.

Major updates coming to Pixel3

I dont get the hype with earbuds these days.

People dont realize they paying for low quality.

You will never get audiophile quality sound from some wireless "buds"

style over substance....

I know a dude who worked on the team for the Pixel 3 and there are definitely voices internally that say this line is too expensive. He ended up leaving the team, but gave me an idea of pricing before its release and I knew it was going to be set up for failure. The jist of his summary was that branding objectives were driving pricing more than honesty about market parity. Seems like that's still the case.
