The fact that they've bolted on "with Gemini" to every listing doesn't bode well.

Free for 1 year (~$240/yr afterward)

Bahahaha $240/yr is beyond ludicrous. They should be paying us to use it lol.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I can't imagine any use for their "AI" that would make it worth $20/month.

Usually they don't bolt on "With [Feature]" to their phones though don't they? I wonder if they think the Pixel name alone isn't enough to sell it anymore.

To me, "with Gemini" further underscores big tech's complete obsession with everything AI. I don't really see it as a commentary on the phones themselves.

I got it yesterday because it will only cost a net $100 after trade in, and all I'm looking forward to is a fingerprint sensors that works and doesn't light up the entire room when you use it.

Is the camera in the regular 9 worse than the 7a?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No. The regular 9 has the same camera as the Pro, if you mean the main camera. You just miss out on some of the other ones.
