    Who here Still Uses the SD Card Slot of your Android Phone?

    Posted: 28 Oct 2019 09:31 PM PDT

    I DO! And I will forever be using it as long as it's available on the newest smartphones. More and more phone companies have ditched the SD card slot to pave way for you to buy their higher storage phones. Yes.. decent phones now a days come with storage as little as 64Gb up to 1TB on the Galaxy S10+ but you'd still want to be able to store high quality videos and photos on your expandable storage when the internal storage runs out-- let alone music and movies without having to stream it. Those long flights and rides w/o the internet..underground trains anyone? I know we can store our media in the cloud-- but seriously, can we have that choice to have our own files with US instead of it floating in cyberspace waiting for someone to hack it? My current phone has 128GB internal storage, after the OS and update hog, I barely have 90 GB left, thus having an SD card is the way to go. How many of you still use it? Or NOT use it?

    As a photographer - I'm sending my 4XL back to Google

    Posted: 29 Oct 2019 08:50 AM PDT

    Edit: I posted examples, and then TOTALLY blew it by posting the same photo twice by accident, leading to a lot of people calling me crazy (maybe!) and a shill (no) but at the end of the day this is all super subjective! There is no right answer! I will probably stick with my Pixel 2 and you all can stick with the 4! Enjoy them!

    I have been using google phones since the Nexus 6P. I've had a Pixel 2XL since launch and upgraded to a 4XL orange on launch day.

    After about a week, I'm sending it back. I'm having some of the same issues folks have heard about - battery, soli is pretty useless, etc.

    But for me, it's about the camera. I'm a huge camera user - I'm a semi-pro photographer in my professional life, and I have always thought the 2XL camera was unbelievably good. The colors seem accurate, the lighting is always the best version of what I hoped to capture, and it's just been such a game changer to have on my person.

    The 4XL has the weirdest combination of features:

    1. Waaaay too aggressive HDR+: Images are very flat, with grainy boosted shadows and smoothed lights that interact with a ton of artifacts and artificial smoothing/sharpening. It looks like someone worked hard on the image in photoshop, but it's raw out of the camera - I wouldn't mind if it was something I could control with a slider, but it's baked into the image and I'm not about to adjust two exposure adjust sliders every time I take a photo.
    2. White balance is *worse* than the 2XL - I know they talked about machine learning white balance, but what it ends up doing in my day to day life is making just about every image super cool and a big shift from reality vs the 2XL which seemed to nail it pretty much every time.
    3. The screen: In this case, I wonder if I have a dud? I blind tested a number of colleagues by taking the same photo at the same time with the 2XL and 4XL and putting the phones next to each other - 100% of the time, people preferred the 2XL's photos - the colors were more vivid, the shadows deeper, and the image just generally more pleasing. When I load those pics into google photos, and then compare them on the *same* screen, then they are MUCH closer to each other - this doesn't mitigate the HDR+ issue, but it does minimize the white balance.

    At the end of the day though, what I've got in the XL is a camera that does stuff I don't love, a screen that makes my photos look much worse than they did before I got this phone, and a battery that lasts a full day if I'm lucky. That just doesn't seem worth $1000 to me. I'm going to try out a 3XL for now and hope for improvements in the future.

    I'm happy to post examples of what I'm talking about. My opinion is definitely not the mainstream, but I thought I'd share in case anyone else is having the same experience.

    What are some cool physical mods you can do to your phone? Aesthetic or utility wise.

    Posted: 29 Oct 2019 02:20 PM PDT

    I replaced my SD card slot since it cracked down the middle to a black one, which contrasts the silver lining of my s8, looks like a sensor of some sort. I've got an external sim card slot so I can use 2 SIM cards and 1 SD card together as such and an ir transmitter that fits in my headphone jack.

    What are some other examples of this?

    An underrated consideration when purchasing a phone is how easy it will be to service if something goes wrong.

    Posted: 29 Oct 2019 06:41 AM PDT

    I bought a Nokia 7+ for it's Android One and large battery, it's a perfect phone for me because I don't care about cameras etc. It has a headphone jack too.

    The 7+ has this awesome charging port problem where it sometimes doesn't charge. Whatever I'll just get it repaired right? I've been getting constant no we can't do it and it's actually frustrating. I now understand the allure of Samsung and Apple, the safety is there. I've emailed Nokia to see what they suggest I do and am awaiting a response.

    Moral of the rant is if you're considering buying a more niche branded phone, maybe check your local repair stores to see if they deal with those phones in case something bad happens
