Fast charging is fucking amazing!!

I just got the Pixel 7 Pro and this is the first "new" phone I've ever had. All my other phones have always been 3-5 year old hand me downs, I was finally in a position to be able to afford a nice one and damn I love it so much.

Whenever I see the words "charging rapidly" I get a huge burst of dopamine, and don't even get me started on the speed of the phone. Apps load so snappy quick, when I did a speedtest on 5g it was like 165mbps.

... Then today I found out the pixel 9 pro will be coming...

What do you think are the best looking phones ever?

I’ll start:

Moto X (2013) best phone I ever had

HTC One (M7 & M8)

iPhone 5S (& 2016 SE)

OnePlus 6

Pixel 2 XL (particularly the panda version)

What unique apps or features does your phone have that no other has?

My Sony XZ1 Compact's default clock app shows the map of the world and highlights the timezone of the city that you have selected from the list.

I think it's pretty neat.

Pixels give you an ability to select text from recents. You can also take a screenshot and the status bar icons will not be included in it, although the screenshots will be low...
