Pls let me know if I miss something, I’ll post it as soon as I can.
Thanks for this, Welp! Pinning for the day :)
Jeez. Just replace the keynote with a web page that lists specs, features, etc so I can decide whether I want to buy your product or not.
Agreed. Also, mentioning AI every 3 sentences like every other tech company recently.
7 years of OS support! That’s the kind of stuff I like to hear.
Now I would really like for Google to retroactively upgrade the Pixel 6 and 7 update support to match the Pixel 8.
I’d love it too with my 7a, but there’s no way Google does something nice just 'cause. They’ve already sold the phones with a shorter support window and they gain nothing by releasing more updates for those devices.
Very happy to see their partnership with iFixit, and to see repairability actually be taken seriously.
Well, they did not partner with iFixit out of good faith: France’s repairability score (which might serve as a template for a EU-wide version) incentivize OEMs to provide repair instructions and parts as it gets them a better score.
Does the pixel now allow wired external displays? Alt-dp Mode? Any news of a desktop mode similar to dex?
Yea that was probably the only reason I would have upgraded from my 7 pro, and if it’s not there, looks like the 8 series is a pass from me.
The fact that there is no mention of it anywhere when even the latest iPhones mentioned it seems like enough evidence, but I even contacted Google pixel support and they said the same thing, doesn’t have it.
Update: There’s actually a tweet up on !googlepixel@lemdro.id suggesting the hardware supports it but it’s disabled in software. Should be able to enable if rooted.
