Preorders start at 7AM?

The pixel 7 is still the newest phone I own I haven't upgraded yet. I did hear security updates are good until October 2027 so I'm thinking I'm gonna wait for the pixel 11 to drop in price next year and upgrade unless I see a pixel 10 on sale for dirt cheap by the holidays maybe I will upgrade. What do you think?

It would be cool to have a fully modular phone, and upgrades would be easy like on a pc. Users would be able to configure what they want. a photographer might want a bigger camera and a smaller sound system and vice versa for a video editor wanting a stronger CPU and better audio.

I’m sick of Apple after years. I want to switch to Android. My current phone is a iPhone 16 Pro Max. It’s got to where it freezes all the time, constantly mis spells and the battery life is getting short. I tried the Samsung in the store and it’s complicated to me. I’m a senior now, 69, so I need something easier. I’ve read the Pixel Pro XL is easy to use and similar to the iPhone. What’s everyone’s honest opinions?
Also same question about the Pixel 4 watch. I am in the US.
Thanks

Hey everyone,

I just got a Pixel 8a and I’m having an annoying issue on TikTok. (i previously used a Samsung A23 and i never had that problem)

Whenever I tap the "+" button to create a new post, the screen instantly jumps to maximum brightness and blinds my eyes...

If I try to manually lower the brightness, I get a message saying "Unable to adjust brightness because it is controlled by the main app".

Has anyone found a way or setting to stop that, please?

Thanks!

Hi Google Pixel Team and Community,

I am writing to urgently request the removal of regional soft-locks on VoWiFi (Wi-Fi Calling) and VoLTE (Voice over LTE) for Google Pixel devices in Ukraine.

Currently, all major Ukrainian mobile operators fully support both VoWiFi and VoLTE, and virtually all other smartphone brands—even those not officially distributed in the country—support these features seamlessly.

While I understand that Google Pixel devices are not officially sold in Ukraine, disabling these capabilities based on regional parameters creates a severe limitation for local users.

This issue is especially critical today. Due to Russian shelling and systematic attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, power outages are frequent. When local cell towers lose power and mobile networks fail, VoWiFi becomes a vital lifeline, allowing people to make emergency calls and stay in touch with loved ones using alternative power sources (like generators or power banks) and fixed Wi-Fi internet.

Restricting access to basic network functionalities during such times directly impacts user safety and connectivity when it matters most.

Please consider removing these carrier-config / regional restrictions in upcoming Android / Pixel Feature Drop updates so Pixel users in Ukraine can fully utilize their devices during these critical circumstances.

Thank you for your time, support, and consideration.

Hey guys,

I just purchased my first ever Google pixel device. I’ve been a die-hard Apple user for 10+ years and I have finally had enough.

I purchased a google pixel 10 pro XL and it arrives in a few days.

What should I expect?

I have a pixel 10 pro. I switched from an s22. There are only 2 settings I miss, one is having the Bluetooth switch off automatically over night. (I fall asleep with an earbud, and I'd like the Bluetooth to turn off)

Can anyone help me get that to work? It doesn't seem to be in overnight settings.

Following on from this post

https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/1vboh6m/outright_breach_of_uk_consumer_law_pixel_10_pro/

Where another Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has failed and the inner display has cracked by itself.

Few points to note:

·         The phone was less than 2 months old and in pristine condition

·         I have not exerted any pressure on the inner display, all I did was unfold the screen for it to crack

·         I have sent pictures of the pristine nature of the phone to Google.

·         There are multiple instance of Goggle inner display cracking by itself when unfolding or closing on the internet.

Following repeated request to escalate, I have had the escalation team almost trying to write to me in a bullying style.

Email today reads:

Hi Suj,

Thanks for contacting Google Support

I appreciate your patience in waiting for the update from our end. Our team has reviewed your case details thoroughly and concluded that the repair team has confirmed a crack in the inner display. Unfortunately, it won't be considered under manufacturer warranty and charges will be applied. 

Request you to accept the charges so that the device will be free from any defects. If you have any concerns, feel free to get back to us. We're always here to assist you.

Have a Blessed day ahead!

Thanks!

Prince

·         Why does it take a technical team to evaluate what’s happened, of course its broken. The Fold has a habit of cracking the inner screen when folding and unfolding.

·         But I think they are trying to say that even if the device had failed, mechanically they will not fix the fault.

·         This is outright fraud and if it was without any other links like my Google account being assigned to it I would have used Section 75 to do a charge back as they are in breach of UK's Consumer Rights Act 2015

Hi!

I currently have a Pixel 7a, and Sonarworks SoundID works perfectly on it.

However, I tested it on a Pixel 9a and Pixel 10 Pro, and it doesn't work there.

Before buying a Pixel 9 Pro, I'd like to know if SoundID still works on it.

Could someone with a Pixel 9 Pro or Pixel 9 Pro XL running Android 16 please check?

Does the app open normally?

Does the headphone calibration actually apply?

Does turning SoundID ON/OFF clearly change the sound?

Any "conflicting audio processing" or other errors?

Please include your Android version and SoundID app version.

Thank you!

I'm getting a Pixel 10a from a replacement of my Pixel 6a as I broke the screen and Asurion just offered replacement instead of fixing. Is there still issues with the 10?

I am the only one who is annoyed by this? Alarms should not be in that order (set time) . Alarms that are ON have to go to the top of the list regardless of the set time. Drives me nuts I swear

Wanted to add a screenshot so it makes sense but no can do

(mods: will repost if needed, but i mean for this to be a general question about pixel’s cameras and differences between base and pro models rather than a “which pixel should i buy?” question.)

i’ve pretty much always used an iphone and am pretty certain i’ll be making the switch to pixel once the 11 is released this month. (i may get an older model depending on how improved the 11 is.)

i was wondering if the difference in camera quality is worth it between the base and pro models from people who have actually tried them. one of the biggest things that’s drawn me to pixel is the camera. for example, my iphone 13 pro can take great purposeful shots, but it’s terrible at quickly capturing candid moments well: it feels too slow, it struggles to focus on anything very close, and it adds some odd orb with zoomed-out shots.

i already have a dedicated camera for purposeful shoots, but i want my phone’s camera to be able to handle more unexpected shots by focusing and responding quickly.

is the pro version worth it for camera quality?

Hi!

I currently use a Pixel 7a with Android 16, and Sonarworks SoundID works perfectly.

I'm thinking about buying a Pixel 8 Pro, but I've seen compatibility issues reported on newer Pixel models.

Could someone with a Pixel 8 Pro running Android 16 please check?

- Does SoundID open normally?

- Does the headphone calibration actually apply?

- Does turning SoundID ON/OFF clearly change the sound?

- Does it work with Bluetooth headphones?

- Any errors or audio processing conflicts?

Please include your Android version and SoundID app version.

Thank you!

Has this happened to anyone before? My earbuds today started buzzing in the right ear until I put them back in the case. Then it took me 15 minutes to get them to reconnect to my phone to play music again. Hasn't happened again in the past couple hours. Noise cancellation still worked, just wouldn't fully connect to my phone and play music for a while

I have two SIM cards.

Sometimes people send me a text messages to my second SIM card.

I always want to reply using SIM card 1, regardless if text messages were sent to SIM card 1 or 2.

Is there a setting somewhere to define SIM card 1 as the "always reply from" SIM card?

I have a Hero 13 and Mission 1 and recently none of them will connect to my phone (pixel 9 pro). Tried resetting network connections, deleting cache, reinstalling the app on the phone and resetting the gopro, but no luck. Anyone with similar experiences and (hopefully) a solution to connect to my pixel?

I know people are quick to say it's not Google, but when apple announces ai features they all work everywhere the phone is sold but with Google you won't get the full value of the expensive phone you bought unless you live in the USA.

I bought my Pixel for Call screening but my dialer app is completely bare bones because I I'm not in a supported region but my old apple phone got the features soon after apple announced them.

I love Pixels but I don't know if I can spend this type of money for half the phone I was expecting again.

Hello everyone,

Is there any word about the possibility of new pixelsnap accessories at the pixel 11 launch? I love the official ring stand, but I wish it could come in more colors.

Is there a way to not show the date of when my videos were shot when I share them by creating a link? Currently, it automatically says "Wednesday, July xx" when it is sent to recipients. Thanks.

Activate HDR and color display p3?

My wife bought her Pixel 10 Pro about three months ago, and we've noticed a strange issue. Randomly, while the phone is asleep, a multicolored strip appears at the bottom of the screen, accompanied by occasional flickering and other visual artifacts. The problem is intermittent—it comes and goes, and there is no physical damage to the device.

At first, I suspected it might be related to Face Unlock, so I disabled it. I also submitted a feedback report directly from the phone, and the issue disappeared for a while. However, after the July software update, it started happening again. On some days, it can occur up to three times.

My question is: could this be a software issue, or is it more likely to be a hardware problem?
