Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
I just went from an S10+ to a Pixel 7 Pro! I feel like we may have passed the point of huge advances in phones each year, though I do think the top end Samsungs are considered a higher level (and more expensive) than the top end Pixels, which are more a mid-range phone.
One thing I like about the Google phones is the lack of bloatware. The Samsung had all these apps you couldn’t uninstall, it has Samsung accounts as well as google accounts, and so on. I had some of the earlier range of Google phones, having a Nexus 3 and a Nexus 5X, and they were great.
This time I installed GrapheneOS straight away so didn’t really get the proper experience of the Google version.
Last year I swapped to a iPhone 14 Pro purely because I have a work MBP + an iPad for a few other apps I needed to use. The ecosystem is pretty good but still love the Pixel range. Also went through the whole range - Nexus 5 (I loved the small form factor!) > Nexus 5X > Pixel 3 > Pixel 4a > Pixel 6. Loved them and no doubt I’ll be back eventually 😂
