"Unlock Gemini Advanced for a year on us ($239 value)" Who thinks they are booking phone sales as AI revenue to juice the numbers?
It’s total trash AI. I keep forgetting to unsubscribe. Can’t do anything.
I signed up, but I have no idea if I am being charged for it. Hope not.
It blows me away that people will spend $1k for a phone when there are good options for $500 or less. I will grant that Google's phone is probably the best. But in my experience the difference in quality does not correlate to the difference in price. Apple has a monopoly and they set price expectations. Also, I think buyers think if you have a cheaper phone strangers may think you are poor. Personally I want people t…
what are your favorite $500 or less options
I love Google Pixel phones because of Google Fi for traveling; unfortunately Google Fi is facing major service downgrades/outages for travelers (including me) who go on 3+ month trips out of the US. Google Support tells me the Google Pixel 9 Pro has the same limitation. For comparison my iPhone works fine on Verizon. The issue is now described in the Google Pixel T&C, and I hope Google will eventually offer a way to…
My main complaint is once you go over your data limit and opt into the $10/GB there's no way to restrict your speed.

So I pretty much limited my browsing to HN!

Sadly, due to my employer, only Apple and Google are options, so none of the other folding phones are options. I wish Apple would do a fold..
Where did the “{our, the} most {adj} yet” marketing thing come from? I remember apple using it for a long time. Did everyone just decide to copy it? It sounds so lame to see it during every tech product announcement.
The previous camera bulge was questionable but this one looks horrendous
All camera bulges are a poor design. Just make the battery thicker. Either way people are throwing a case on to make the back straight again.
Never used a case for any phone I've owned.

Spending £500 on a new one hasn't really entered my thoughts. The last time I went shopping for an (Android) phone with and for my girlfriend it was a nightmare - so many absolutely shit giant phones that don't feel right in the hand
