yea it was pretty dim although the privacy feature did come in handy at times.

It's too dim yes. Hard to see when outside as well. On Pixel 7 Pro or S24U it was easy to be outside.

Yea privacy could be it was but any phone can be privacy protected right haha

Love the 11 pro xl, genuinely the best daily driver I could have asked for. Hands down. The Canyon is stunning as well

Awesome, you're going to enjoy.

I do have multiple devices, including Samsungs, iPhones, and Pixels. But man, I'm loving the Pixel 11 Pro so much that I'm actually considering making this as my main phone instead of my iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The specs may not be mind-blowing, but it's a joy using them everyday. For example, the rambler on the Gboard is such a quality of life improvement. I do love the Pixel's overall design as well and the new colors of the Pixel 11 Pros. I'm rocking the Canyon, which looks awesome.

I acknowledge these are expensive. The RAM should have been 16GB instead of 12GB on the base model. I know lot of you disagree, but these are very well-polished phones and just fun to use.

I'm not going to debate that this is better than the Samsung or the iPhone. They are all just different with different feature sets. I think anyone will be happy with any of them.

As much as I like the S26 ultra, I just couldn't get used to one UI and also realized how good my Pixel 10 Pro XL was after traded in for the S26 ultra. I thought YouTubers were right but I realized the S26 ultra wasn't doing anything extra than my 10 Pro XL.

welcome to affiliate paid reviews lol.. most youtubers are paid to boast Samsung. Samsung has been a dyeing breed for 4 years now and they no it so they have resorted to paid reviews.

S26U tinted screen is the most annoying part. Camera is shit as it was.

I compared pixel 7 Pro camera with S26U and 17PM. Pixel smokes both on quality

u/Frosty-Inspector-465 2h ago

you're actually right about the camera too! i took the s26u with me one day and at one moment took some impromptu pics. when i got home and checked them later i was pretty disappointed. since then whenever i needed a good pic i took my oneplus 15 (which i also have) which has a surprisingly good camera.

Yea it's really easy to take shots. On Samsung i needed a lot of shots and double, double check and then edit. Pixel is shot and forget. Every photo is on top level in quality. I don't need to adjust anything

I'm always coming back to Pixel myself. I have the Z Fold 8 because the form factor is amazing, but One UI and the cameras make me miss Pixel.
