My guess is caching... Usually that's configured to store temp files based on available space.

That's why a lot of those come with bill credits spread out over two years. I used to turn over BOGO phones that way... Get two phones for the price of one, sell both, keep one phone's price as profit... Even if you had to pay for a month or two of service before the rebate came, it was worth it.

To call what they do 'Boosting' is dodgy... The only thing that can do is stuff like silence notifications, etc.. let you play without getting bothered. In and of itself, there's no app you can install that will give you a significant increase in a resource heavy thing like gaming. That...

This. This update is going to bring a fair number of new features with it, some of which sound pretty cool. And the more code changes, the higher risk that you break something. So to reduce the chances of releasing an update that works something (ala Apple), maybe the delay was to make sure...

And people who've given both arguments typically ignore the most important (and costly) component in these phones; software. Any rando can call up Qualcomm, Sony and Samsung and slap some bits into a slab and call it a phone. It's what runs on those bits that's makes a phone special now. How...

I am going to go on a rant... Yes... I shall... Since the launch, the most common thing I've read about this mode are people lamenting there fact that there is so much light pollution where they are, they barely see any stars at night. This makes me sad... The nighttime sky, free of high...

Don't hold your breath. Samsung has been putting the latest and greatest camera hardware in their phones for years. But then they throw the pics into a Vitamix with a handful of glass shards and blend on high until smooth. People are way too hung up on hardware. Apple didn't close the...

A couple others Thought this was nice... The colors came through, and a little sliver of moon bonus content

Some randos standard mode... No fussing museums are awesome got shots with gravitas... I was at the Boston Museum of Science Cool night shot at Halloween. Some sort of creepy baby display.

No need to be covert... Google did this on purpose.

Battery size... Both are about 15% larger, so given that the charge speed is pretty much identical, there's your difference.

Oh, agreed. Leading up to the launch of the first Pixel, I ran into this myself. There wasn't a huge difference between the new Pixel and my 6P... When the modded Google camera that brought the zero shutter lag HDR+ to the 6P, there was no functional reason for switching... It basically did...

This is another thing that people forget... Google has done an excellent job when it comes to back porting features to older Pixels. If there isn't a hard software or hardware limitation in the way, they'll push a feature down the line. While everyone is clutching their pearls over this notion...

Remember that many of these features include server-side authorization. Google's doing their usual staged roll out, so you just have to wait and see.

This. They are an authorized Google repair and warranty center, so they should be able to help you out.
