Why the Pixel 6 Pro isn't a Pixel XL phone

According to rumors, the Pixel 6 pro will cost $1,050 in the US while the Pixel 6 will cost $750. Everyone seems happy about the price but many online are upset about the sizes: the pixel 6 and pixel 6 pro are 6.4 and 6.7 inches. There's barely any difference and both are very big phones.

But then I realized why they moved away from having XL in the name: the differences between the two phones are no longer largely supposed to be about sized. It is about price vs specs. They will no longer att...

What Android feature did you think you would never use but ended up using a lot?

For me it's text select from recents. I thought it was a complete waste of space and I would never use it. Now I use it all the time. It's so useful! I still don't like that recently used apps bar is gone from the recents in Android 11 as I thought it was very convenient and made work flow between apps faster and the screenshot shortcut...

Moto G Power (2021) vs Pixel 4a

I recently had to replace my Pixel 4a due to water damage. The screen stopped registering touch properly. A Pixel 5a would have probably been my preferred replacement, but I decided that it wasn't worth the price to me. My replacement is a Moto G Power (2021). Here are the details that stand out to me, after being happy with the Pixel 4a.

Moto G Power (2021)

Pros:

Price ($200)
Larger screen (personally I would have liked a smaller phone, but there aren't really any smaller phones with co...

Google Assistant will no longer read from webpages that require a subnoscription.

Sometimes I don't want to read all of a NYT article as they can get quite long. I tried to get assistant to read the webpage for me only to be told the following

I had to uninstall the New York Times app for this error message to actually show up. In the app it just says an error occurred. I pay for a subnoscription to The New York Times anyways....
