Google rep teases Pixel 6 pricing: Pixel 6 Pro 'will be expensive', Pixel 6 will be in the 'upper segment'.

Rick Osterloh, SVP Devices & Services at Google, briefly talked about pricing and market segments in an interview with German magazine "Der Spiegel".

Deepl translation:


>SPIEGEL: Google has been selling its own smartphones since 2010. Are the new devices an attempt to gain market share in the premium segment?

>Osterloh: We haven't been in the flagship smartphone segment for the past two years - and before that, not really. But the Pixel 6 Pro, which will be expensive, was designed spec...

How have you customized/modified your phone to improve your experience?

Anything and everything from Tasker routines, Nova launcher + Sesame Shortcuts, Termux, to any other app or hardware improvement is welcome!

Here are some of mine:

- I've used Nova Launcher to add direct app shortcuts to home screen like "Create a note" for Google Keep. I have added opening the app itself as a swipe up option on the shortcut icon.

- I use Sesame Shortcuts to let me to search for anything on YouTube, Firefox, or Play Store directly from my home screen. I only have to invoke th...

Using 2 forms of unlocking

Sorry if this is off topic.

Would you use 2 different forms of unlocking your phone if you could. For example, I think the easiest would be to use the finger print sensor before or after verifying the use of the front facing camera. If your fingers are wet or you have a face mask on you could use one of those plus the pin. I imagine it would be very unlikely that you wouldn't be able to use one of those 2.

The reason I mention is that we have for example banking apps, Amazon, Dating apps and o...

2 Years with the OnePlus 7 Pro - An In-Depth OnePlus/Android Review

######I'd like to preface this by saying I'd previously been using iPhone since 2013 and had been well integrated in the Apple ecosystem (iPad, iPhone, Mac, and later, AirPods and AppleTV) since 2010 with the launch of the original iPad. I switched to OnePlus/Android in 2019 with the launch of the 7 Pro and have been using it as my daily driver since. Therefore, I have very little experience with any of the iPhones or iOS features that have been released in the past two years, but I will do my b...
