So, they come to Samsung but not (officially) to older Pixels yet? Good job, Google.

Maybe shake it repeatedly so that the gyroscope picks it up. 😄 Would be an inherent human response anyway.

The reason: 🫰

Every time I read “YouTube redesign” I hope for a proper Material You design (including adaptive colors). Instead it’s always just some menus shifting around.

The Pixel can also get the new Assistant At a Glance widget, although the permanent At a Glance widget still remains in place and unchanged.

What’s the point then? I don’t need the same widget twice.

YT Music’s podcast support is sorely lacking

I don’t have it yet in my region. Does YouTube Music support faster playback and the ability to skip silences? Those are the most important features to me.

I know it’s not really important but I prefer the design of the Podcasts app (Material You). YouTube Music is always completely black and clashes with the design of every other app made by Google. 🤷‍♂️

Almost too much information, really.

But at least it has lists.

This phone looks weird. The 6 Pro looked awesome with the black visor. The 7 Pro looked elegant with the metal visor and gentle camera pills. But this one … has totally weird proportions. If the camera pill is so large, why not make it an entirely black visor again?

You’re in a bubble. ~99% of the population is not on reddit/lemmy or other android communities where they could discover new apps. They find out about new apps from friends, from news articles, or through the Play Store.

That’s why I’m always annoyed that pretty much all of the “big” YouTube phone reviewers spend so much time on the camera when reviewing phones. I’m much more interested in the UI/UX and software features.

The camera is either good or great anyway. That isn’t really a selling point for me.

My guess would be because of the reach?

I use neither Mastodon nor Twitter (I’ve never understood the value of microblogging) but one of them is freely available, the other one is restricted. In my view – as someone who has no account on either platform and only occasionally goes there if it’s linked somewhere – Mastodon has a much wider reach.

Oddly enough there is a mastodon instance run by a German federal agency: https://social.bund.de/

No idea why the chancellor doesn’t use it.

I think this solely refers to the “containers on a blurred background” style. They both do look somewhat similar (but not really identical).

I like the timely updates and I very much like the UI. Not just the Material You color scheme (which I initially thought was a useless gimmick but have come to really like) but the look in general. Everything is just so pleasantly designed. I know that people around here hate too much padding but I think that’s what makes the Pixel UI look so good. On other phones I always have the feeling that the padding isn’t right; for example, on many phones (especially Samsung) the text in the status bar isn’t center-aligned vertically and it drives me nuts. Or the text is squeezed into the corners.

On top of that there are useful features like Call Screening or Live Transcribe. And the voice typing is phenomenal.

I like it a lot. It makes the device feel really cohesive between apps. And changing the color every now and then feels like a breath of fresh air. Also, the pastel colors help to get rid of blue/grey tones which is easier for the eyes.

Sehe ich auch so. Hier macht es wenigstens noch Sinn, etwas zu kommentieren, weil es nicht einer von tausend(en) Kommentaren ist, sondern einer von dutzenden oder wenigen hundert.

Habe auch den Eindruck, dass es weniger Kommentare gibt, die nur auf Karma aus sind (“this!” usw.)

Auf Reddit möchte ich trotzdem nicht ganz verzichten, weil einige Subreddits einfach zu kleine Nischen sind, die es hier nicht gibt und wahrscheinlich auf absehbare Zeit nicht geben wird.
