another too exciting. same battery size, no sd card. no lossless audio.

Ok, but why not spend that time and energy to finally release a stable OS and not be stuck in the yearly beta cycle. This is why many IT folks buy year old phones.. the most stable version seamsto be the previous year's version. It's a finger print censor, the concept has been around for decades.
I understand it's about having announcements out there to stimulate existing share holders, investors and get more, but why not rely on consistency and reliability to keep share holders and investors happy. Forget band wagon business models unless you're ready for long-term pain.
Google Pixel line is like abandoned product from the beginning. Google is not very confident to service and support like other major OEMs like Apple, Samsung, One Plus, Motorola etc…..I bought its first Pixel and after their terrific service which was handled by third parties, I just never looked back.
I thought I would never see this post!!! The only thing missing is the internal memory issue, which I hope this time will be ufs:4.0
Finally, maybe Pixel won't be 1-2 generations in specs behind other flagships. But they really need to improve battery life a lot.
still can't beat the regular physical fingerprint sensor

Finally won't get blinded by the obnoxiously bright flash of light in anything lower than average lighting conditions
The one on the S24 isn't that great. It's just on par with an optical one but without the light flash.
It would've been better if they had used the one Vivo used on the X80 Pro which is several times bigger than traditional UD fingerprint sensors.
Right now the most annoying thing with UD sensors is that you don't know where they're precisely located so it leads to frequent mispresses.
To this day no misses on my Poco F1, would have thought the new tech is better but what do I know, I still use ancient tech like 3.5 jack, sd card, FM radio, LED light....
If it aint broke...
Why can't they just use one on the back or the side like all the best phones? Pixel 5 had it on the back and it was great, the Sony Xperia 1 IV had one on the side and it worked great.
I hate these in screen ones as they are never as good, especially with a screen protector.
KondriX, 05 Jul 2024That wallpaper is beautiful, is it part of the Pixel wallpapers?Yes it is

You mean, the fingerprint scanner that was supposedly gonna be on the 8 series? Everyone knows, this upcoming generation, is such a minor iteration, is more like the 8.5 Series than new, hence Google moving the release cycle back to August, to try & salvage sales. I'm very happy with my 8 Pro, I won't be looking at another Pixel, until TSMC start manufacturing Google's SOCs next year ..

I understand your complaint, but at least allow Google have a shot at it.
Who knows if theirs will be better than Samsung's?

I've literally explained that I have both of the phones in front of me side by side and the optical scanners on my Vivo IQOO and Xiaomi phones are miles ahead in speed and accuracy than Samsung could ever dream of.
All I get in response from these nubs is them telling me I'm lying while they probably never tried anything better than an old Samsung that their grandma bought them for their 21st birthday 5 years ago, so of course they don't know about better.

They have their fanbase looked up and ready for the next to buy
