Got a Pixel 7 Pro back in February. Came from a Samsun-g s10e when the google store said they'd give me a whopping $280 for it (compared 25-50 on average). Between that and the $150 off sale, it was a no-brainer.
For the most part yes, the camera is fantastic and the 'now playing' thing is really neat. While I know a lot of power users apparently complain about the battery, Ive had little to no issues with it. Only time Ive come close is when Ive been outside a good chunk of the day and've had it on full bright.
There are two minor downsides. one is the screen brightness. It's so dim compared to my samsung. on the s10e, everything was great at around half brightness, and i rarely had to have it maxed out, even outside. On the Pixel, 3/4 barely cuts it and if im outside anything under max is impossible to see.
I also really miss samsung themes. I generally prefer dark, but not 'completely black with white text' dark. That contrast bothers me, but thats what many things are nowadays, including the default android themes. With my samsung, I could make the system stuff whatever i wanted and it was great. I think i had a dark teal/light grey thing going. I miss that.
My first smart phone was a Galaxy S4, Then an LGG4 (there might have been an s5 or 6 in there but i honestly don't remember). After the second bootloop I got an S8. Then my mother got that one (still uses it) and I got an S10e.
Ive usually kept them for several years until they just become unusable/slow/bad battery. I might look at the P8P when it comes out, though, especially if its actually flat.
I also have a samsung galaxy a tablet that my dad hijacked for his ereader after his ipad died. he now has a new ipad, but still uses the tablet to read on. I have no idea why, libby works the same on both.
Have a Gear S3 watch, will probably upgrade when the Galaxy 6 classic comes out.
have an ipad, but don't use it that much.
so. um. my question is, in mastadon even though you have an account with one instance you can still see/follow/whatever people from different ones (unless the admins made it private) is this the case with lemmy or am i stuck here and would need to go make some other places?
thanks
edit: NOW i see the tab switching from 'local' to 'all'. Derp
