I am returning my iPhone 12 and getting a Pixel 5

Keep in mind that I used to have the pixel 3A prior to my iPhone 12. So all my comparisons are based on that. I will be purchasing the Pixel 5. Before I begin, one thing that I will miss is the super high-quality haptic feedback motor. I’ve heard the one on the pixel 5 is of a lower quality intentionally to keep the phone at a lower price point. The one on the iPhone 12 is buttery smooth.

Pixel 5 Navigation Gestures

I just got a Pixel 5 and am loving it so far, except for the navigation gestures. On my previous phones, I used Fluid NG but with Android 11, I am unable to hide the navigation bar. I also don't like how difficult it is to pull items from the side if they use hamburger menus, I always trigger the back action instead of the menu. I found a way to disable the side navigation triggers. Use ADB and type either of the following to disable the left or right, respectively:

Pixel 4 takes on full frame Canon RP DSLR in low light photography to demonstrate the power of computational photography

A little old, but still [very interesting comparison between Pixel 4 and Canon RP](https://petapixel.com/2019/11/05/blind-test-google-pixel-4-night-sight-vs-canon-eos-rp-low-light-shootout) and a surprising outcome for me.

I expected the full frame DSLR to blow Pixel away, but instead Pixel produced better images. They are soft but cleaner, whereas Canon looks very noisy.

Naturally on a tripod Canon would produce much better results. This was a handheld comparison to simulation more "realistic...

Proposed pricing terminology

There are so many phones out there in the "midrange" pricing I don't think it's fair to compare 200$ phones to 700$ phones and call them both midrange. What about calling high end, yet not flagship level phones premium, like so:


Budget- 0-199

Midrange - 200-499

Premium - 500-799

Flagship - 800+...
