      The "blur" is only for the first 15 seconds or so. Does GSMA review what the publish anymore?

                and now adays, most people's smartphones have high quality OLED panels that allow you to see these image in their highest quality.
                also, you clearly haven't watched the video, because the pixel 6 pro wasn't in this test. please go watch the video, the results do show that people know what high quality images look like.

                    -Edward-, 05 Jan 2023Surely it costs them more money to make bezels that thickI really do like the bezels being a bit thicker that usual, it is better for gestures somehow.

Those ignorant participants probably won't be able to differentiate between results from a smartphone and even a mirrorless camera. Anything can look fine on a phone screen unzoomed and can be made to look better by increasing sharpness, saturation etc. You need to zoom in and see at the pixel level to comment on photo quality.

                        And no way pixel 6a can finish above pixel 6 and 6 pro.

                                I don't understand people who claim OneUI of Samsung is slow or sluggish. Just open up ADB, uninstall the apps you don't want, and that's it. Samsung devices these days have massive batteries and the OS is barebones as-is. Samsung is very respectful of privacy with allowing users to opt-out of many phone-home type of services, and you don't even need a Samsung account to use the devices in the first place. I think the only thing I hate about Samsung is that they lock you out of Knox if you install a custom rom and they don't allow you to turn off permissions and notifications for some apps.

                                The biggest issue I experience with Samsung devices stem from Google and Qualcomm's anti-competitive, unfair practices. Google requires an account just to access the Android app store (and therefore you are forced to accept their terms and conditions just to use your device otherwise you are locked out from important device apps). Google has many unfair practices in place so Android users remain Google customers, making the argument of Android being "open source" irrelevant. Samsung keeps trying to cease reliance on Qualcomm (by promoting Exynos) due to similar unfair practices like ceasing chip support after a very short amount of years (which is why Samsung cannot develop security updates for old devices or why you can't use Lineage OS with many Qualcomm devices).

                                These Google Pixel phones only saving grace is because GrapheneOS exists.

                                      even though it won MKBHDs blind camera comparison, being in overall first place.
