Is it me or is the Pixel 9 hype very low? I feel like nobody is expecting much from it

Well, of course, google leaks everything months before so nobody cares now. Plus the google io was a big fiasco talking 2 hours about AI, completed skipped android 15 which is a pretty incremental release. As a result, everyone expects the same from this event too. Meaningless ai everywhere

Thank you for your comment, didn't even follow the Google IO

I always watch it because of the android releases (phone, watch etc) but this year's was such a big letdown. It ruined my day

I don't think I've seen any hype for any new phone releases for a while. And that's OK, the technology has matured a lot so there isn't that much to get hyped about anymore. The foldable phones are pretty cool, hoping that they become affordable in the next decade!

I haven't seen a foldable phone that doesn't have an ugly crease in the screen after a while.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Well then I hope they sort that out in the next decade too

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

What's the hype going to be about? All phones are just black rectangular prisms now. The camera will be a little better, the battery life a little better, the processor slightly faster... But there's no huge leap in functionality and form factors aren't taking risks any more.

It's previous phone release + .1

No big features. Satellite emergency is nice, but that's it. Everything else is just a slow iteration on the last version. So it's fine, but nobody will upgrade early for it.

Same old slow chipset, ugly design (personally), software locked features rather than hardware limits
