Pixel Mobile 


 Stop your fingers in their tracks I already know what the comment's going to be you're sitting there typing out saying of course the pixel 7 Pro is going to be updated it's got x amount of years left it's going to be updated till

interesting conversation because this was sold to you as a top-of-the-line

how could they possibly go ahead and bring them down to the pixel 7 Pro when the pixel 8 with the tensor 3 can't even get those options and then it gets even more complicated when you bring the pixel fold into the equation cuz that device you paid I don't know what for over $1500 just a few short months ago and now you're looking across the river and all your friends with pixel 8 Pros getting their graininess and whatever else and video and lighting balanced in videos and photo without you having a chance to have the same capability having spent more on your device so where do it land Google's no stranger to these things they've lived with awkward scenarios before they're okay with it you remember back to the pixel 4 XL and the pixel 5 there was a point when the pixel 4 XL was actually the better device and was cheaper at one point than the pixel 5 that was less powerful because of that switch that they made trying to go to a more mid-range device or a mid-range philosophy in the devices and kind of let their software experience be the the the defining factor and kind of bridge the gap from

need a way to differentiate the prices between the pixel 8 Pro and the pixel 8

Snappy it is how good it got after the

think that just like in the past Google's going to stick their head in the sand and say you know we got a hot device in the pixel 8 Pro people like it yeah the pixel 7 Pro is still a good phone lots to like about it but we're just going to live with it the awkwardness and then hope that you buy a pixel 9 and a pixel full 2 and all these other devices that are going to have these AI enhancements I hope that's not the way it goes because you could easily have I'm not easily I'm not an engineer may maybe it's not that easy but you could easily have a solution where you take something like this and you offload let's say for for sake of argument okay I I find this a little hard to believe but they touted a lot of the AI enhancements of the tensor G3 and the stuff they added into the chip to make it that AI focused fine let's give them that all right so for a moment let's just say like they do with photo editor and Magic editor or some of this other stuff that they do let's say for a moment they're able to offload the tensor G3 awesome specific features onto the server side and have it be a Sol a server side solution where you you need an internet connection but you're able to kind of get the features it might take a little longer whatever it is but you get some of the features that are missing in this device and on the pixel 8 but they kind of do it server size so you wait a couple minutes or whatever and it comes back but it works just fine video same thing might be a little bit more complicated because they're larger files but they find out a way they find a way to make it work and give you those capabilities raises other questions right well why isn't it available on the pixel 8 why isn't it available further down the line why can't my pixel 6 Pro do these things so I don't know if Google Google is not an envious position I mean I really don't care as a consumer I don't care I spent my money figure it out I want the features whichever is the way to give me the features is the solution that I want I really don't care about anything else so if you have a

keeping for another two or three years

7 Pro if you want it you some people don't like flat displays they want curved displays well the pixel 7 Pro still has that nice curve display not overly dramatic but good enough to get

what that what Google does my money as disappointing as it is on is on them just ignoring it and not bringing those

a marking on it that you don't want on

and AI kind of SC rub the image you get some of the other stuff magic editor and whatever else and some of the best take stuff they'll throw us a bone or two on this device and you'll see a lot of the stuff come through on these feature drops so we're going to get some of it but will we get what are we on here now actually I think this is going to be on the uh on the latest let's take a look here see what we're doing here Android 14 yeah this is the December 5th update so this has the December feature drop for some of those other things on the device so they'll throw us a few bones but the big ticket items video boost summarize contextual respon know some of that stuff that's higher end that is going to keep a phone at a higher price like the pixel 8 Pro those they're going to keep for there and don't think that I understand we're going to we're going to rag on Google today but don't think it's a Google specific problem the s24 ultra comes out next month that's going to

because the camera ain't cutting anymore right the 5x Optical and 120 HZ and the 2K display the Quad HD display ain't enough to justify $2 $300 difference so they got to come up with something and this year I think it's in addition to the camera stuff and the other stuff that the pixel 8 Pro does that the pixel a can't the larger display and all other stuff I think one of those things is they're going to start to throw in these

and the pixel8 it makes no sense that

because they're both onboard Computing things that are being done with Gemini Nano or whatever they call it they're all onboard Computing and they both have

it's nonsense I think they be a way an

you need to optimize it does it take longer that's fine those are all things I can accept like you know back in the day if you had a Intel pennium and then you had a pennium 2 it didn't mean that the pennium didn't run software there

no no no you need to spend more on this

optimizations for me that doesn't sit right if you made this far like comment
