Anonymous, 14 Jun 2023This is one of the biggest reason to avoid android. Almost ... moreLol, this is the first time I've heard an argument for "you can't afford it" applied to Android instead of iPhone. Oh how the turntables...

    Womgwatt, 14 Jun 2023From a long press on the home screen? Wallpaper and style ... moreYes, exactly that's how I went there. After the Wallpaper Change button there are few albums to choose from (Google Photos, downloads, camera, screenshots, etc.). Then I choose an album and I can choose a desired photo, after that I can edit which part of a photo will be shown as a wallpaper and there I can switch whether I want it as a Lockscreen wallpaper or Home screen wallpaper.

Since recovering technology are getting smarter, I'm afraid that irresponsible people might recover my old data which has been reset for bad things. This can happen on any phone — even on an iPhone. As a smart Android user I usually use my phone for 3-4 years like a normal people instead of changing it every year which is bad for the environment because this is a bigger e-waste than the charger in the box. After 3-4 years I will make my old main device as my third device (don't get me wrong, I also has an iPhone as a secondary device) and use it until it no longer functions anymore.

                I haven't found any special button. Also using a default launcher so no Nova or anything.

                      I would say avoid iPhones, because you can't buy them for half price

                              This behaviour greatly impacts android's resale value. An iPhone will always give you more resale value compared to any android device.

                                Does anyone knows how to find that 3D wallpaper option in wallpapers on Pixel 6 Pro? I can't seem to find it.

                                Either Google or GSMArena should have provided additional information. I don't even know for sure whether it is Pixel 7 exclusive or not.

                                  Many of these "smart" were already available on Samsung smartphones and smartwatches. Smartest smartphones, yeah right....

                                    Google phones and watches are a joke!
