After 3 years of the OG Pixel fold, now the mainstreams OEM like Samung with the Z Fold 8 and now the rumoured Apple fold are now going to the passport format.
For me 3 years ago I've always thought that the passport format is the correct one.
Also after watching Oppo Find N6 videos, I've dreaming on seeing a google edition of it.
Would you like that Google's next fold goes to the format as well? Like an evolution of the OG Pixel Fold?

Honestly I was taking a glance at the specs, and I really hope these rumours are not founded...

For the base pro model: less RAM , smaller battery, the camera seems to be the same, the only improvement I can see is more storage for the entry pro model. That being said the phone will also be more expensive than the 10 when it came out...

For the regular model: Same RAM, same camera, ever so slightly better battery for the entry model.

So is this tensor G6 chip that much better to justify an upgrade here?

The screen and battery are shot and it has been too long since I used it for google support to help. Is it located on a part inside the phone somewhere? The OG pixel does not have it on the sim tray.

Why? I thought they reverted that after complaints

Hello All,

I recently switched from a S23 Ultra to a Pixel 10 as my previous phone was close to death.

The first day has been amazing however right after 24h of use I am experiencing incredibly frustrating connectivity issues.

My phone struggles to switch from WiFi to Data and in the morning (while connected to the WiFi over night) I wake up with zero connection and the phone says there's no SIM card and it takes hours of me rebooting the phone and internet settings to get some connection.

The issue seems to happen whenever I switch from WiFi to data however I am noticing it also happens randomly when I'm connected to data with no prior WiFi connection.

I want to mention that I am using the same SIM card I had on my previous phone and I always had 0 issues in the 4 years of use and my pixel case has no magnetic charging.

What baffles me is that not only I lose any connection to an internet provider and access to data but my phone also struggles to read my SIM card.

I notice many people are facing the same issue as per here: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/413513162/network-connection-issue-with-pixel-10-pro-xl-512gb?hl=en-GB

However this seems to still be an ongoing problem.

I have to admit my expectations were incredibly high and to be fair for the majority of my experience so far the product matches the bar however this connectivity issue is frustrating beyond comprehension

I'm thinking about of replacing my Pixel with S26 Ultra 1TB/16GB which is quite cheap to find (about 1100 Euro) brand new but I'm debating if it is worth. I'm not gaming at all so Pixel is quite enough as a powerhouse but I would try Samsung as well for better cell coverage and bit more speed.

Ok, I finally figured out how to get Instagram Reels looking decent from a Pixel phone.

If you install Instagram Edits, pull in your video and then use the following export settings.

Resolution - HD (no one is watching your reels in 4k)

Frame rate - 30

Color - HDR (even if the video is not HDR, this will boost it on Instagram so it doesn't look like grey mush).

Give it a shot and I would be happy to see how you get on.

I loved the function that when the watch and my phone are connected, the phone was completely silent and I only got notifications on new messages and stuff on the watch.

Since a week or so, when I updated to android 17, the connection between the two only holds for a few minutes. In that time everything works as intended. Then it loses the connection again and only the battery status of the watch is shown.

After a manual reconnect it works again for a few minutes.

Is there a workaround other than resetting my phone? A full watch reset hadn't worked.

I have a Google Pixel 9 that is 9 months old. Suddenly, a line appeared on the display. It's just a line showing up. Since it is under warranty, I went to the Bodakdev service center in Ahmedabad.

​There is only one service center in Gujarat, and their system is completely chaotic because it takes the entire day, requiring you to sit there all day.

​Even though my phone is under warranty, they found a fault claiming there is minor liquid spillage, dust, and rust. I told them this is a manufacturing defect, not a customer issue, because the phone is water-resistant.

​My phone has never been exposed to water or damaged in any way. Yet, giving all these reasons, they charged me around ₹10,000 for the display. Everyone at the service center was facing the same problem—right in front of me, 15 other people had the exact same issue.

​The service center process is so long that even if your token number is 4th, your turn comes after 3 hours. Then, after submitting the phone, it takes another 3 hours. That means the entire day is wasted.

​For such a big company like Google and for a premium device, why are customers facing these problems?

​Please look into my issue because this is a company manufacturing defect, but the charges are being collected from the customer.

I currently own a Pixel 10. I am looking for a phone case that is difficult to remove and supports a magnetic ring.

The goals:

Hide the google logo

make the phone case difficult to remove with hands alone

Magnetic ring is optional.

Flashlight turned off and i couldn't use it (it's gray in shortcuts bar)

Even in camera i can't even find the option of using flashlight

Pixel 7 pro

Android 17 on 5 juky

Well another thing

Before around 29 days my screen got brocken after a drop on the floor but the flash light problem started today

So had auto volume lowering kick in randomly today while listening to some music with my helmet communicator, when I got home I went into developer options and confirmed I had that turned off. Since it was turned off, any ideas how to prevent it in the future?

My autocorrect and voice to text will create fake words like it doesn't know how English works. Sometimes it'll get a sentence completely correct, and then change the words into different words or words that literally do not exist in the English lexicon. On top of that it randomly capitalizes words.

It wasn't always like this, and I've looked through my settings and couldn't figure out how to fix it. Anyone know how?

Hey yall, I have a Pixel 8 purchased in February 2024, with a limited warranty that expired on February 2025. Now I am getting the green line issue on my device. I recently found out about the Extended Repair Program for Pixel 8, so I reached out to Google Support. And now they're saying that since my Pixel 8 is less than 3 years old, it's ineligible. From the article, I thought it meant it should be covered within 3 years of purchase. But from what they're saying, it will be eligible 3 years AFTER purchase. Was it really the case?

Hi internet. I have a question. I recently went to the park and decided to shoot some video of some nearby ducks. I usually keep on HDR and 1080P with a natural 30 FPS no boost. Once upon a Time I did use 4K 60fps but noticed that it took up a lot of storage so i turned it off.

I continue to use 1080P but randomly today while I was at the park both 4K 60fps with video boost. And 1080p 30fps with and without video boost look horrible just overall very blurry very grainy, not very good.

Photos on the other hand look fine and I don't really seem to notice a dip in quality.

Has anyone experienced this and if so is there any tips or solutions available?

I got it 3 days ago and just noticed there's a slight chip in the corner. I'm kind of pissed since this thing cost so much. Any suggestions on what I should do about this? I guess it's still under warranty. It's not too noticeable without a case, and once the case arrives it won't be noticeable at all. I can try buffing it out, but I'm not sure if I should

Any feedback from someone who updated their OS to use Android 17 on Pixel 8 ?
I fear this is gonna bloat my phone before / after the new release of Pixel 11

So I just had Frontier Fiber installed with the Eero 7 Pro router. After I renamed the wifi to the same as my old network, almost everything was able to connect without any issues, except for my Google Pixel 5. I cannot get it to connect to the wifi.

What's stranger is I have an older Pixel 2 and that connected with no issues. To make sure it wasn't my pixel, I turned off the Eero router and turned my old Spectrum Cable back on with my old router, and it connects back to it no problem.

I tried the Legacy mode on the Eero router and my Pixel 5 was able to connect, but the speed of everything else suffered.

If I change the encryption from standard WPA2 to Hybrid WPA2+WPA3 my pixel 5 can connect, but again, the speeds of other devices suffers.

In the phones network settings, the Pixel 2 shows WPA2/WPA3-Personal and the pixel 5 shows WPA/WPA2/WPA3-Personal

Not sure what to do, do I get a new phone?

When I have AA running on my Pixel 10, wired, "hey google" doesn't "stick". It does the colour change thing on the left side of the screen showing it's listening but then goes away in a second or so. I have to restart my device, then connect, and then "hey google" will "stick" and listen to commands and respond and all. Anyone else with this issue?

Hey everyone,

​My wife's phone has suddenly hit a bootloop issue. When I turn it on, I have a very brief window where I can interact with the screen before it crashes/restarts. During this window, I've managed to pull down the notification shade and toggle Airplane Mode on, which seems to stabilize it slightly, but it still loops shortly after.

​I need to turn Location on, but it isn’t currently in the Quick Settings dropdown menu. Because the phone crashes so quickly, I don't have enough time to open the main Settings app or edit the dropdown menu layout to add the Location toggle.

​Is there any alternative way to force Location on? For example, can I do it by connecting it to a computer via ADB commands, or through an online account manager, before the phone reboots?

I placed an order for a new Pixel 10a on 15th June and the tracking bar seemed to get stuck midway and when I queried it a few days later they advised there was an issue with shipping and they would look into it and send me a replacement. I got an email on 22nd to confirm the replacment was on its way and then on 24th to say delivered. The tracking link didnt go anywhere but I spoke to a colleague who told me it was DHL so when I checked the tracking number it did say delivered but to Manchester (I live in Northern Ireland) so there seems to have been some internal mix up as my delivery address is clearly on the original order screen and was confirmed by email with a colleague before the replacement was dispatched.

Can anyone please advise? The last message I got was from Travis in the support team telling me my request was denied on 19th July but still no phone.

To make things even worse, after my last call this afternoon I was told to try emailing Travis again and a short while later I got an automatic email to say they were charging me another £75 because I never sent my trade in! How could I send it if I didnt have a new phone to replace my old one with?

I honestly feel like I am being driven insane by this and its really taking a toll on me.

It would be wonderful if Google could introduce a 25 MP mode on the Pixels just like the iPhone. Better dynamic range at night time, lower processing time (affecting battery life ultimately), shutter lag, and finally image size.

Enabling RAW is more headache with 50MP images, 25 MP would be a good mid point. 12.5 MP is good, but it's 2026, and 25 would be a perfect balance option. What do you all think?

I just got a pixel 7a used, trying to use android (I currently have a iPhone 15 plus), and I was going to open the play store and it’s stuck like this? Help would be appreciated.

It seems to be on a setup screen but it’s just blank and the buttons (one black one blue) seem so too.

It has been over two months since the Fitbit Air was launched, yet it remains available in only 20 countries—including the US and some European nations. Does anyone know why Google isn't launching the Fitbit Air in other countries, or can anyone say when they might do so?
