Okay. All setup now.

Well- after who knows how many android phones...10 maybe?

For the first time I'm left thinking...what a piece of shit. The new interface is complete garbage. Trash.

I didn't pay much attention to the new gesture thing. I just buy new phones when they come out, I don't spend time reading whatever nerd site is reviewing or leaking shit or whatever. So maybe I wasn't prepared for the amount of fuckery google got up to with this new OS. (I actually just found out that google cancelled the Chromecast audio earlier this year too. Fuck you very much for that google.) But what is this phone? Some kind of joke? I actually discovered that you can turn off this gesture nonsense and go back to the nav bar. But it's the OLD nav bar. The Pixel3 "pill" thing was so much better.

Bunch of fuckery up in here. fucking google.

If you liked the latest Pixel 3 interface but are a little fed up w/ google, get an iphone haha. It was super easy for me to switch from the Pixel 3 to an iphone cause they were so similar. I'm getting considerably better performance out of my iphone (i.e. battery life) with the same amount of use.

Gesture navigation is terrific once you get used to it, especially so with big phones (no more trying to contort your thumb down to the back button when using it single handed). I get annoyed every time I pick up my wife's 3a and swiping back doesn't work.

I think I may have asked already at some point on this thread but can someone recommend me an old or new 200-300$ android phone?

only criteria that I care is that the screen is around 6", decent performance (faster than an Iphone 7 if possible) if I can run emulator that would be a bonus.

just want to familiarize with android and will be used as a backup/travel phone along side my Iphone 11 Pro

May have a Moto G7 Play for $150 available in a couple weeks. "basically" brand new, comes with box.

Look into one of the Android One phones from Xiaomi on Aliexpress. It'll fall within that price range.

They should all be dual sim too, which comes in handy when travelling.

thanks, might look into a Xiaomi.
the Moto G7 Play looks underspecced for what I'm looking for.

I can sell my Essential Phone PH-1 for ~$200 if I get around to wiping it etc.
Let me know if you're interested and I'll get my act together.

Rocking that sweet sweet Moto G7 Play. Lovin it.

Oh this really scratches me where I itch - https://www.cnet.com/features/foldab...o-be-its-edge/

I'm still skeptical about how durable folding screen are but am always searching for the most compact phone. $1500 US though, definitely not in my near future.

I placed an order for one. I was holding out for their BF sale. I really only expected something on the 6T, and wanted a 7T, but was pleasantly surprised at a discount for the 7Pro. Should be a nice upgrade over my 5T.

Wow. I guess nobody really bought Pixel 4 then. Never seen a new phone drop this much in 1 month other than price errors.

Pretty dick move to the early adopters too

Google does this every year with the new Pixel. And every year I buy it at full price like a dummy.
