A family walks into AT&T. "How about this new Google phone?" asks the wife. "No way!" says the husband. "It lacks RAM, only brightens to 440 nits, and has a 2800mah battery! Also, Project Soli is not being used in the same ways as the concept video from years ago. It's a gimmick!"

This conversation has about a 0.05% chance of happening in any carrier store across the country.

I think it is more clear than ever how detached this sub is from reality. The common person that Google is targeting knows nothing and does not care about the technical aspects that are frequently upvoted to the top.

[APP] New app: Simple Auto Brightness (free download)

Is Android's Adaptive Screen Brightness driving you crazy?

Because it is so much simpler, it works a lot better than either Android Adaptive Brightness or relying on manual brightness adjustment--at least for me!

Simple Auto Brightness automatically sets display brightness based on ambient light and auto-updates i...

At around 20:24 of The Vergecast podcast, Nilay asks Google Senior VP of Hardware and head of Pixel, Rick Osterloh why the Pixel 4 cannot do 4k60fps video recording using Snapdragon 855 while Samsung can using the same exact processor. Osterloh's pathetic answer? "I don't know."

maybe some client that will backup folders at night? (maybe an FTP client to your FTP server)

I will list a few apps:

Comparison of full resolution pictures from The Verge article - Pixel 4 vs iPhone. Pixel 4 retains the signature noise, grain and purple tint.

I'm not sure why The Verge does not provide a link to their full resolution images because they are linking to full resolution pictures.

Anyways, here's a comparison of the quality. View them at 100% resolution.

Fabric - [Pixel](https://i.imgur.com/X20iNUn.jpg), [iPhone](https://i.imgur.com/eMyOrki.jpg). Look at how much more detailed the iPhone shot is. It is clear.

Church - [Pixel](https://i.imgur.com/U2SnoAf.jpg), [iPhone](https://i.imgur.com/JKp0f1j.png). Clearly more detail in the iPhone...
