will definitely consider this, thanks a ton!
do the other pixels have this as well or is it just the 4?

Pixel 2, 3, 4 have it.

It sucks that Snapchat/insta don't just build better apps but at least the pixels have the ability.

Also the pixels = the greatest Android experience! My p2 is running like butter

P30 pro

Google Pixel is an android in its purest form with a camera better than iphone until 11Pro came.

lowkey the worst

imagine buying a phone from Google, Samsung or OnePlus when you can get a cheaper better phone from Xiaomi lol

the camera is incredible on the Pixel tho
the bezels tho are terrible

I really dislike the pixel.
If you can OP get yourself a Xiaomi depending on your budget but you can get pretty high end stuff for cheap.
If you have the money to blow get a flagship.
If not xiaomis and samsungs mid rangers are amazing

Yeah consumers are winning so much now, people who stay ramble about phones keep getting expensive when really what we seeing now is more choices that go with every budget. Not even like the budget priced equals a lot of trade off

Like cmon

Even the Xiaomi flagships have animation stutters

While the Pixel doesn't

I've been on the Xiaomi wave since 2014

It's not all that, trust me

Literally the midrangers offer pretty much the same experience as a flagship,with a little tradeoff.

this one

seriously tho, everyone hating @ android doesnt know s*** and is just a f***ing sheep

I don't get much animation stuttering using a diff launcher

when I started using xiaomi phones 3 years ago it was far worse overall, the stutter rarely happens now

before there would be times I would get lag and my touch didn't feel accurate, that never happens now it only stutters every once and a while going to the app switching mode

Yeah, but still

"A different launcher"

Last Xiaomi phone I had was Mi Mix 2s, normal launcher all that, there were particular times where it could stutter like when i close camera & open the app tray or whatever, i haven't used it up till MIUI 11 so i can't speak on it now, but it was frustrating to me cause I f***ed with em early, and they jus be even putting ads on settings

I'm on Pixel rn

I have a note 9 it's the best phone Ive ever had

If you can afford it, that new OnePlus 8 Pro Or Sony Xperia are dope af

Tbh

Just to say if you consider a pixel 3a just know everything is great except for the battery. I only get a 3 hour hands on time in a day so if you out travelling and need to do Google searching, photos and map. S*** will be a problem.

ended up getting a pixel 4 for $20 a month, thanks for the recommendations all :)

Enjoy

thank u !!! :) feels good to be back on an android

i don't trust google enough for all that. I barely even like using chrome on my desktop.

My mom just loves the latest Samsung models, you can try.
