On my Note 20 ultra, colors, specifically dark colors look much different than my note 9 as well as Pixel 3 xl. Do you think mine is a defective unit or is it just how Note 20 display works?

There are some existing threads with some advice and discussion in.
People who are using dark Mode are suggested nkt to apply dark Mode to their wallpaper and choose vivid mode.
I have reported this here as well. Blacks aren't as deep on YouTube and chrome with dark mode on if you compare it to other past devices. At least he's even throughout the screen, so not horrible, but definitely not as "contrasty". It's like the blue light filter is on at a very low rate. Don't know if it's software Samsung can adjust or if it's due to the new screens being used. Some say the s20 ultra had it and one plus. Apparently those were addressed with a software update.
Yeah my YouTube seems kinda Grey
Very odd.
I just noticed that this morning.
Hope this can be fixed through software
the pixel 5 has 1,000,000:1 vs the 4a 5G that has 100,000:1
Its good that the more expensive Pixel 5 have better components ie screen, speakers, vibration motor.
Just hope Pixel 5 does not look like that Pixel 4a 5G compared to my Note 10 when it arrives!
I just received mine, and I hope it's a bug but the colors have no punch, it's a little washed up (I'm coming from a one plus 3t). But their is little to no differences between color modes, so maybe something is not working as it should...
Hello all!
I would love for you all to give your opinion on the OnePlus 9 camera in comparison to something like my Pixel 4 XL. My OnePlus 9 which I purchased on eBay arrives tomorrow and I am slightly worried that although the battery and performance will be a huge upgrade over my 4XL I'm concerned after reading mixed reviews about the image quality.
Coming from those who have tried pixel devices do you feel that the OnePlus 9 is in any way comparable to the pixels image quality? If you came from a pixel are you satisfied with the OnePlus 9 camera performance? Is it at least acceptable for someone like me who has children in a lot of sports in likes taking action shots?
I appreciate all of yours input and thank you for your time
My Pixel 3 XL took way better pictures across the board. The lack of OIS on the 9 is unforgivable. I use the GCam mod that was posted around here and that's at least passable but the only thing I like about the OnePlus cam over the Pixel is that it doesn't blow out reds. As someone with rosacea, it's nice that a minor flare up doesn't make me look like a tomato.

can you give me the link for the gcam u r using? thanks a lot i cant find good gcam for op9
I just switched from the OP9 to a pixel 5, which i believe has the same camera sensor as the 4, and I think the photos on the OP9 were much nicer. Sure google has good processing but the image is so grainy on the pixel 5.
On the plus side my pixel 5 isnt crashing / randomly rebooting five times a day so i'm happy.

Flat screen please
can't wait to trade-in my pixel 7 pro for pixel 8 pro
I'm shocked, totally shocked after reading this mind blowing news. Devastated.
This appears to be second-hand info and this article can change 180degrees in a second, it's probably true from how the article is written. What Google needs to do is adapt Android OS Changes on what other vendors are doing with Android, if I could return/exchange my P7Pro with a OP10Pro I would do it in a split-second... this is all for some things Google will not enabled in the OS - the options are in the OS Build because other vendors are doing it but not enabled on Pixel devices.
Unless the fold is a game changer (no fold line), I wouldn't get the first version anyway. Not to mention the PRICE.

What things? OnePlus and other OEMs heavily customize the Android experience with their own skins. If it's not in Lineage, it's not in the core Google OS and is added by the OEM (this includes Pixel features).
The only thing I miss from my OnePlus 9 is the fast charging. It sucked more across the board otherwise, *especially* their buggy software.
I think I will keep my pro for the next few years
The only fold device that would even interest me would be a Pixel Fold. But I would wait a couple iterations before I thought of getting one.
Google usually doesn't use the latest hardware in their devices and generally this is a good thing for consumers because it offers better value and better optimization while still offering most of the important features.
Considering fold screens use a flexible polymer screen I am going to stay away until they can develop a flexible glass. However I think the Achilles heel of foldable devices is the screen. The crease and higher likelihood of scratches is a pretty big issue IMHO.
I am pretty happy with my Pixel 7 Pro.
I would like Google to use a more durable finish like Samsung aluminum armor and a brushed finish and frosted glass on the P8P.
I am excited to see what the Tensor 3 will bring. Hopefully Google will get arm9 and X2/3 cores and 4-3nm process.
I know it is widely said that the Tensor G2 is on 5nm I find this hard to believe. The benchmark scores between the original Tensor and Tensor G2 are significant and I doubt simply using a slightly higher clocked X1 can account for the uplift in single core scores. I know one website said a Google employee confirmed it was on 5nm but unless Google actually gave us the specifications officially I take anything else with a grain of salt. That being said if it is true then when they do advance the process it should offer significant advantages.
"However, “husky” — aka the Pixel 8 Pro — will have the same display and general measurements as the Pixel 7 Pro."
Enough with the stupidly narrow screens already, give us something that can fit in a MAN's hands, not a fairy that can't tell if it points in or out.
And no mention of the pixel tablet that's supposed to come out in 2023.

I have one, below is what I put in thread I had made, for me its good buy!
It runs great, I haven't had any lag or stutters, I love it.... Battery is decent , I`m no power user, it`s very snappy with the 8gb ram compared to the 6gb the 6A , and love the coral color, I rooted it and using Magsik and AOSP MOD, repainter app., has wireless charging that the Pixel 6A didn`t have, I liked the pixel 7A enough , I actually sold my S23 ultra yesterday, but I do have the new Sony Xperia 1 V on preorder, in my opinion the Pixel 7A is a great buy!!
Edit: also it has face unlock, which the pixel 6A doesn`t which is nice too, still has the plastic back, but doesn`t bother me.
Who knows what inspire those people who write reviews about new products coming up to the market. With so many websites promoting stuff these days it's hard to find an objective voice that is free from bias of self interest. Some writers write reviews because they must meet deadlines and others write for companies directly involved in profiting from sales/marketing of such items.
In the end, we the customers will have the final word reviewing things after purchasing it and still, some of us gonna say "it sucks" others "so,so" then some"it's fantastic fantastic".
Personally I like this Pixel 7a or I should've said: I'm not disappointed because I expected this phone to be exactly as it turned out to be. Easy to handle because of its size/weight as compared to my S23U. As for quality - can't complaint, the price is the best excuse to tolerate some very minor design issues. The phone is working smoothly overall, I can't be too picky when I switch for a day or two from S23U.
I spent some time today in the local park testing the camera: it never got hot, warm yes, but my S22 vanilla year ago was going at least 20-30 deg F hotter while recording slow-mo and regular videos for extended amount of time. Same when continuously shooting pics. Here are some pics from earlier today:
p.s. I'm good on the cover, won't need more, the one I have was also free from preorder promo. It's perfect, almost clear plastic, but it has some irregular dots on the back, good grip and it looks great.
My only complaint thus far is the screen. Its not horrible but the colors are a bit dull even with Adaptive selected in display settings. It's also not the brightness phone and can struggle in directly sunlight. The image in general is just a bit off too I can put my finger on it. Other than that I love it, I'm hoping some of my issues with the image quality and brightness can be adddressed via Firmware update.
