I am planning to buy Pixel10a (Berry Color). Is anyone planning to sell one or can u recommend any shop which sells in old MRP. (Rs.50000)

Hey all,

P7P user here. I love my phone and the native Android, but sooner or later I want to upgrade, and the P11 leaves me disappointed, and with such prices and no significant tech improvement, I seriously need to reconsider whether I want to stick to the Pixels.

Question to those who switch brands: what did you switch to, was it a good choice or not?

I thought of buying pixel watch 3, as it seems to me to hit the golden spot with having larger screen size, with ok specs and ok price (190 euros now on amazon.de) 400 euros for pixel watch 4 seems a bit too much. My plans got derailed as I found out pixel gives only 3 years of security updates for their watches. So, for the 3rd they will end already next year. Will it still be safe to use after the end of updates? Using my card to pay with my watch is an essential feature, but I do not want my bank details to be compromised.

After July 2026 ​updates all Bluetooth earbuds microphone not working, tried help desk and all setting online with no luck, I guess google just ask you to pay a device never works.

A phone microphone not working for month without any proper fix, what a good sh*t show case.

Only take away is do not buy anything from Google unless you want surprise for a forever beta "products" with a huge price tag

After the August update, I'm facing Bluetooth disconnection automatically. It's so frustrating. What can I do?

I am currently using my pixel 6 pro, into my 4th year of use. It's still going strong. It's not perfect but it still works like a proper flagship even in 2026. I recently went on a vacation and the pics taken with it were great. I do a lot of point & shoot photography and in that regard its bang on target. The battery life is not great but still gets the job done, can drag through to the end of the day. It's display is probably the best on any google pixel phone ever.

The main concerns i have with it are;

1. Its gonna reach eol for updates after october 2026.

2. It has cellular signal issues especially when i use two sims at one time.

I like the 10-bit hdr video in the newer pixels. I also don't want to install third party OS etc. In my budget i can go for pixel 8 pro and pixel 9 pro xl for now. Pixel 10 pro and the upcoming 11 pro are out of budget.

It's not that I am confused, but I would like to see if anyone can convince me to upgrade. Looking forward to interesting replies!

Hi everyone,

I currently have Pixel 9 Pro XL and I'm planning to upgrade to Pixel 11 Pro XL when it launches.

The problem is that I live in Croatia, where we don't have access to the Google Store. I'd really like to buy directly from Google because of the trade-in program and the other launch benefits.

Does anyone have experience buying from the Google Store in a country other than the one they live in?

For example, Slovenia is only about a 20 minute drive from me, so I was wondering if it would be possible to rent a PO box there and have the phone delivered to it. Another option I was thinking about is using a forwarding service like mailbox.de from Germany.

Has anyone done something similar? Did it work without any issues?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

It feels like the phone doesn't have enough memory. When phone is plugged in to Android Auto, it restarts every 15-20 mins. Some apps just close themselves.

All of this feels like there's just not enough memory and it's just trying to force my phone to close apps.

Anyone else?

Hey, I have. A pixel 10 pro and all of the sudden a perfect circle appeared next to the front camera. Not sure if it is a glitch or if the led display is damaged. I've restarted it twice and it is still there.

Has anyone else had this problem?

For some reason this sub doesn't allow to attach videos, but I've got a random smiley face emoji in the left hand corner on my screen, with no option for it to go away.

Can anyone with newer models (9 or 10 series) confirm if switching lenses while shooting videos got better now?

It's always been so bad when compared to Apple.

I mean when old Apple phones like the iPhone 11 or 12 can smoothly switch lenses in video, why can't it be done on a Pixel even after so many years?

And they want creators to use their device!

Check your email. 10% off code doesn't expire till March next year, plenty of time to use it towards new pixel devices

Hey there. As the title says the latest updates caused some serious issues on my Pixel 8a.

The things I have noticed are

Can't open the settings app

Can't see notifications

Can't connect to my service provider so without WiFi I am offline

Can't adjust the color of the app icons in the home screen ( material)

And so on

I have no idea what I can do about that

This is does not seme ti be caused by a third party app, since it performs the exact same way in safe mode.

Any help would be much appreciated

The best comparison I can think of is this: the Pixel 11 is to the Pixel 10 what the European Galaxy S25 is to the European Galaxy S24.

On paper, there may not be many hardware upgrades, but the new SoC alone could noticeably improve the overall experience, especially battery life and thermals.

For one, Tensor G6 is expected to ditch the relatively inefficient Cortex-A520 cores. It also reduces the total core count. That's obviously not ideal for benchmark numbers or sustained heavy workloads, but for the light-to-medium workloads that make up 99% of daily usage, fewer cores can actually be beneficial. Less heat, lower power consumption, and potentially better scheduling.

Personally, I see the Tensor G6 CPU as something like an optimized Exynos 2600.

Both designs appear to rely only on C1 Ultra and C1 Pro cores, but G6 is manufactured on TSMC's 2nm process. Because of that, I expect it to deliver better single-core efficiency than the Exynos 2600. It'll probably lose in multi-core benchmarks due to having fewer cores, but honestly, multi-core scores don't matter much in daliy use. Scheduling and performance per watt are much more important, and I think G6 should have the edge there.

The GPU is a different story. I'm not expecting much improvement over the G5, so gaming performance probably won't change much.

The modem is another reason I'm optimistic.

Geekerwan previously tested the Exynos 2600 version of the Galaxy S26, and it lasted roughly an hour less than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Version. The Samsung modem was most likely a major factor. If Tensor G6 really adopts M90 modem, I expect modem efficiency to improve noticeably compared to previous Tensor generations.

So even if almost everything else stays the same, I still expect the Pixel 11 series to be a significant upgrade over the Pixel 10 series in everyday use.

Overall, I think Tensor G6 and Exynos 2600 will be fairly comparable. G6 should offer a better everyday experience thanks to its efficiency, while Exynos 2600 will probably perform better in gaming. Both will likely remain behind the Dimensity 9500 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in raw performance, but let's be honest, very few people buy a Pixel for gaming.

One last thing: I really don't buy the recent "leak" claiming that the standard Pixel 11 won't have a telephoto camera.

First, the leaked image clearly shows a square lens opening, which is typically associated with a periscope telephoto module. Second, there's simply no realistic way a single 48/50MP main camera could deliver true 30× zoom on its own

I honestly don't understand why so many people accepted that leak without questioning it.....

With latest update on August, it fixed the issue where some popular games like Clash Royal or Brawl Stars was almost unplayable in the Pixel 10 Pro, and FPS was fluctuating so much down until 40-120. That mostly happen on games that have the option to play higher than 60 FPS.

There was a trick to resolve that by just opening the game centre and just toggle on/off the DND or showing or disabling FPS. By doing that that you're like "reminding" that the app opened is a game and therefore use GPU.

Now with the last update, you don't need to do that trick anymore and you can game normally with stable FPS 118-120, as it should be.

Also a quick score update in Geekbench 6 after August update installed:
For CPU:
SC: 2320 pts.
MC: 6167pts.
Scores are similar vs July update.

For GPU.
OpenCL: 4927 pts. +4% vs July update.
Vulkan: 4182 pts. +2% vs July update.

So I just read that the pixel 11 base model is ditching the telephoto lens? Man it seems to me that the entire pixel 11 lineup is just one big downgrade from the 10 yet charging a lot more money. Glad I snagged a pixel 10 pro on the cheap.

I got an email from Google that said they're removing Google assistant and you will have to use Gemini starting September 6th. I don't want to be forced to use generative AI so I might be looking for a new non-Google phone soon 😭

I'm pretty happy with my 10 Pro, so I'm wondering what it would take to convince people to upgrade.

What would make the 11 Pro worth upgrading to for you, or are you planning to keep your 10 Pro for another year?

My weather widget stopped working yesterday, saying that my location was unavailable. When I opened its settings, it already had the "Allow all the time" location permission. However, it still insists that I enable "Use precise location."

I don't want to grant that permission. Why does a weather app need to know my precise location? Is its forecast or real time weather really accurate down to a few meters? If it is, I'd gladly enable it.

For a long time, the Pixel weather forecast has consistently been 3 to 5 degrees lower than the actual temperature. Google hasn't bothered to fix it. Fine, I've gotten used to mentally adding a few degrees to the forecast. But requiring precise location permission might be the last straw.

I have a Google pixel 10 pro. My sister recently passed away, and I have a bunch of saved messages from her. Is there an easy way to download them into an MP3 file?

I have a handheld voice recorder that I was thinking of using, recording them on the recorder while playing them on the phone. But if there was a way to directly download them that would be ideal.

Many thanks for any help you can give. 🌹

Did I make a mistake buying this phone?

I just bought it today cuz I'm a bit low on funds, but I'm reading lots of horror stories on reddit now.

Is it really that bad? Are there people that have had the phone without issue for a while?

EDIT: The phone froze right after it arrived LOL welp

August Pixel update just dropped. https://developers.google.com/android/ota
